Need help wiring motherboard

Your2EzY · Sep 4, 2014

I am currently in the middle of building my gaming PC here is my build

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Your2EzY/saved/d82WGX

I absouletly hate this motherboard its so confusing. This is my first time building a gaming pc and im 14. I have installed Everything but the Graphics Card and it dosent really fit. I do not have a F*cking clue were any of the wires go into the Motherboard from the power supply or case. I have plugged in a few but not too sure. I could really do with some help as im sitting here with everything out and wouldent like to leave it overnight. Thanks

Well, how many of your components have you put into the case? Or did you just start trying to setup a trial bench to test the components first?

Your2EzY · Sep 4, 2014

NBSN :

Everything is in the case over than the Graphics Card

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

Ok, well, did you see how to connect the motherboard using either the 20 pin or 20+ 4 pin PSU connection?

Your2EzY · Sep 4, 2014

I saw the 20 pin cable with the +4 thing yes. And i can tell that goes into the big socket.

After connecting the motherboard to the PSU...we will then go on the optical drive and hard drive. You need to find the SATA III (6GB/s) connector and connect it to the SATA III port on the motherboard and to the hard drive.

Then take a SATA II connector and connect it to the dvd/cd drive and the motherboard SATA II port.

If you need help finding the correct ports...I will see if there is a decent manual with pictures online.

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

And please let me know if you need a minute or further clarification with any thing at all.

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

Oh, and I am assuming that you did not have any other trouble putting the parts in the case...and remembered to use the motherboard standoff screws?

Your2EzY · Sep 4, 2014

Yes i have screwed it in fine, i have already connected the Hard drive and Optical drive to the motherboard followed by all of the Case cables other than 1 USB one and a couple others and i havent touched the Power cables

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

Okay, I think I found the manual...if you need help finding the actual locations of the SATA II and SATA III ports...it should be at page 12 of your motherboard manual.

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

You may have extra cables and connectors that you won't use depending on your particular setup. When you say you already connected the case cables other than 1 usb one and couple others...you are saying that you connecting all the case fans and the power button and any usb headers? just for clarification.

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

Also to clarify, the HDD is the one using the SATA III (6 Gb/s ) port.

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

Then you can connect the CPU fan to the motherboard.

Your2EzY · Sep 4, 2014

Ok so the ones that arent plugged in are this cable saying +5v d- d+ GROUND. and another one thats a normal USB 3. and then also all the power cables. I have already installed the CPU fan its just plugging in and putting on graphics card i need help in. Thanks for this by the way

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

Well the CPU

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

sorry...

anyway..

the cpu fan should just use one CPU fan connection to the motherboard...so if you look in your manual it will be number 4...

which if it installs the same orientation as the picture...would be at the top middle CPU_FAN1

WATCH THIS VIDEO IT WOULD SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

IF YOU GET STUCK AT THE FRONT PANEL CONNECTORS THEN GO THROUGH THE MOTHERBOARD MANUAL IN THE FRONT PANEL CONNECTOR PAGE YOU WILL FIND DETAILS WITH A DIAGRAM.

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

The GPU will be pushed into the highest up PCIE x16 port it can go into. And then you will take the appropriate number of PCIE connectors from the PSU and connect them into the GPU.

Your2EzY · Sep 4, 2014

Yes the cpu is all installed already and the fan is in CPU_FAN1 Yes

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

Once you finish with the GPU, please check off what has been connected completely (as in anything that needs connecting to either just the motherboard or both the motherboard and power supply.) And what is completely installed. Here is a standard list that should include everything.

CPU

Heatsink/CPU Fan

Motherboard

HDD

Optical Drive

RAM

Case Fans

GPU

Case USB ports

Case Power Buttons

PSU

etc.

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

And yes, watching that video will definitely help.

Your2EzY · Sep 4, 2014

I said about 3 times the only thing that isent connected is all the PSU Cables and 1 USB 3.0 cable thats coming from the case and a +5v d- d+ GROUND weird cable im not sure about. Thanks

NBSN · Sep 4, 2014

That is why I said to connect the GPU and then the PCIE cables from the PSU to the GPU. That is some of the PSU cables I thought you were talking about. And when you are asking about a grounding wire...I would assume it would go in the bottom right of the motherboard where the system panel header is. There is a spot that says GND there. It states that on page 31 of your manual.

Your2EzY · Sep 4, 2014

It is a 4 point cable and it dosent say GND anywhere on the board. Also what is a GPU? and i dont get the PCIE Cables.

Do you have the motherboard manual?
