QUESTIONS:
1) The CPU power socket on the motherboard is 4 pins. The CPU power cable from the power supply is 8.
Reading the online manual, it says: "If your motherboard has a four-pin socket, detach the four-pin from the eight-pin cable, and then plug this four-pin cable directly to your motherboard."
So I just kinda split it in half? Really?
2) Where do all those PCI-E power plugs from the power supply go? Nowhere? My NVIDIA graphics card which will go in the PCI-E slot doesn't seem to have anywhere to plug in power.
3) Where do I plug the PC Speaker? JAUD2? I read some threads that sound like the PC Speaker that comes with my case has the wires in the wrong place (plugs 1 and 4) instead of 1 and 3. What happens then?
4) As far as I can tell, the motherboard has no place for USB 3.0 connectors. So what can I do about the 2 USB 3.0 ports at the top of my case?
