Hello,

I recently bought the amd fx-6300 processor, ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AMD 760G Motherboard, and the nzxt g921rb case, and also the corsair cx600 modular power supply. I have the ram, processor, video card and heat sink all installed. I am having trouble figuring out all of the wiring though. I mainly can't figure out the case wire's even after reading through and through the manual's. For example, there is a wire coming from the front of the case with a 4 pin connector, it also has a small what look's like 3 pin connector coming from it and I have no idea where they go, I think maybe the fan but not sure and don't see where to hook it up.. they are not labeled. There are also a few wire's that don't have connector's on the end's that say sys, hdd, and cpu. The case manual doesn't show any of this that I can find, I would appreciate any help wiring this up and going over everything if someone has the time to help out.

Thank's for your time
Keith

Use your motherboard manual to locate where the FP wiring goes. The HDD, PWR, RST, LED wires will go to the FP header on the MB. See page 1-7 of your MB manual for the location of the header and 1-24 for the wiring.

The large 4 pin Molex (right one in pic) sounds like a feed to a fan controller or some other device the case has. Does it have a fan controller or a thermal display of some kind? If so, connect that cable to any Molex from the PSU.

The small 3 pin connector is probably the front fan. Does it look like the one on the left in this pic?
