Hello Forum Users,

I have recently been building a computer with the phanteks enthoo primo case. I have installed all of the parts and connected most of the cables. I have got to the stage where I have to connect the front panel connectors to the motherboard. In the motherboards manual it says I need to connect the HDD LED +-, Reset Switch +-, Power LED +-, Power switch +-, as well as a few extras, unfortunately the only cables coming from my case are HDD LED +-, Reset Switch +-, Power LED +- but no power switch. Also there are two reset switch cables. Does anyone know what is going on here? Is one of the reset switch cables meant to be a power switch or something? Please help.

Thank you

Have you removed the panel where the power switch is on your case to see if the leads coming from your power button are not tucked up behind the power switch or if they are missing altogether ?

I will have another look but all of the cables that I have stated were all together and highly visible so I would have assumed that the Power switch cable would be with them. Are there meant to be two reset switch cables though?
