YOU will be able to work it out by reading the motherboard manual

Well, by reading what you wrote teh four wires you have are prolly USB+, USB-, VCC, and GND in that order. Plug them in at your own risk.

Otherwise, post your mobo make and model, and your case make and model.

My mobo is the msi k9a2 platinum

OK, look . . . the standard USB mobo connector is a 10-pin socket that handles two USB ports; one uses the odd pins on one side of the connector, the other uses the even pins. 8 pins are used electrically, 4 for each USB port. Pin 9 has no pin, pin 10 has NC (no connection).

So, having 4 wires for one USB port makes sense, though I've never personally seen a case with the wires separated.

Here's the pinout and what I would do if I were guessing. :

1: Power0 (5V) - Connect "+" here
2: Power1 (5V)
3: USB0 DX- - Connect "Port-" here
4: USB1 DX-
5: USB0 DX+ - Connect "Port+" here
6: USB1 DX+
7: GND0 - Connect "-" here
8: GND1
9: No Pin
10: Pin, but No Connection wired

Good luck!
