Use the manual that comes with the board. Or look at it online from Asus's website.

If i understood the manual i would not be posting here but i dont recognize which cable is used for what the manual just tells me in generally that the x cable plugs into here but i got no clue what the x cable is or what it looks like and i have also checked online for some time. I dont recognize which cable is which.

I suppose what i need help with is plugging in which power supply cable goes where?

Your m5a97 r2 2.0 is not a valid model number.

The M5A97 R2.0 needs
1 x 24-pin EATX Power connector
1 x 8-pin ATX 12V Power connector

You might get a better answer if you list your power supply make and model, and also the PC case make and model. Hard drives and optical drives use a a data and a power cable.

My power supply is a Kentex KTPS-750. When i turn on the computer nothing happens cept a green light goes on. No fans or sounds or beeps. Also this is the same power supply i was using 2 hours prior to setting up the new motherboard and it always worked just fine.

I dont really know where the front panel power switch goes either could be as simple as that but idk really.

That information is in the downloadable motherboard manual. What is the PC case you are using?
