I was given an old XPS 630i PC which didn't work well, so I rebuilt it into another case.

I've now got it to work great, despite not finding a manual for this motherboard anywhere on the net.

Only problem is, the Reset button doesn't work, and I feel i made have some of the front connectors inserted incorrectly.

But every manual I've downloaded brings me to entire XPS 630i PC of whatever this motherboard came in, and only explains basic stuff like how to insert a CD, or what the plugs at the back do, just nothing on the motherboard itself.

The 3 heatpipe version of your old cooler is rated by the mfg. for 130W CPUs (Asia Vital Components). The 4 pipe one you have should be good for about 150W. Swap the screws to match an Intel backplate and it should work. With a Core2Extreme that BIOS allows unlocked multiplier that's why it had that cooler.

Dell engineers may have one but they don't release them to the public. You best option is to search for the pinout and see if someone has figured it out and posted it. Also possible there are no pins for a reset button as many Dell systems dont have one and from pictures I dont see one on the 630.

Thanks, I did find that service manual before, but nothing on it other than the location of the front LED jumpers, but nothing of what pin does what, anyway since the power button works and all LED lights work as expected, there only a few pins left where the Reset SW can go, and I believe the pin at the end is supposed to be dummy pin, so I use the remaining two, so I'm sure I got in the correct pins, even if this motherboard supports a reset switch.

Real shame if it doesn't, gonna be quite tough to live without a reset button.

It's has a quad-core processor, this is why I found this old beast attractive. It did have a nice CPU Cooler, but I had to get rid of it when I rebuilt it in a new case, there were that many screws plus the cooler holding the motherboard (Obviously it wasn't designed to leave that old heavy case it was in), so I just replaced it with a standard intel CPU cooler. It does get a little bit too warm, but I applied new Thermal paste and dropped it 10 or so degrees, so for now, i've only decided I should be using this PC during cold nights, until I get hold a better CPU Cooler.
