Hi, I am building my first PC. Im using the Corsair Crystal Series 570X case for my Phantom Gaming z3090 mother board. When plugging in my front panel connecters I noticed I couldn't see my HDD LED cable or my Reset Switch cable. Both are listed in my cases manual but after looking I could not find them. Should they be in the case, if so is there anywhere they could be hidden that I can't see?

Also one more thing is my case fans seem to be 3 pin connecters, but shouldn't they be four, when plugging them in it didn't work, it there an adapter or am I doing something wrong. If you can't help me with my second problem that is fine. Please help with first.

Case cables usually are all in one bundle and the plugs at the end should be labeled. A lot of MB manufacturers now have one piece connectors that are also labeled, which you can plug all the cables into, then just plug the connector on the MB. Do note that often times though the labels on the parts won't be exactly as it shows in the manual. If this is the situation, you may need to contact Corsair. In my experience missing cables from quality case manufacturers like Corsair is rare, so my guess is it's just confusion as to how they're labeled. Corsair is pretty good with support though.

As for 3 vs 4 pin on case fans, it depends whether they are variable speed fans. It makes no sense to put a 4 pin connector on a fan that cannot be...
