Antec 1200/mobo compatibility?

^ = My new case


Question: Are they all compatible? I'm trying to connect the case to the mobo/PSU and can't really seem to figure it out on my own. I got the case as a gift, so..


I just don't know if my case will work with my mobo/PSU, because some things (one example, reset SW cable: the slot[RSTSW1] on my mobo doesn't have pins there and I don't know how to connect them) and if not then when which one do I need to replace (if not both??)


Also, the case manual doesn't give any info about where to plug in the fans, just details about their performance. They seem like they go into the PSU, but there are six fans and only 3 slots open on the PSU, so

None of your links are working, but your case should work with any microATX or ATX motherboard. You need to look at the motherboard manual for the pin locations for the start and reset buttons. Just plug in the two pin connectors from the case onto the motherboard pins located in the Front panel jack of your motherboard.

The case fans on the Antec 1200 case are Molex connectors. Route most of the case fan molex connectors behind the cable management panel (Right side of case when look at the front). You can plug one case fan molex connector into another one, and another one, and use just one power supply molex connector to power multiple fans. I would use two power supply connectors to power all of your case fans. Fans do not use much power.

Good luck.

Hello,

Just finished relocating all of my Hardware into a new case.

Plugged it in for the first time, looked like everything powered on.

However, the monitor wont display anything or get recognized.

Also USB keyboard and mouse will not get recognized.

I'm almost absolutely sure everything is plugged in correctly. The only thing I left unplugged is a little 4-pin cable that's attached with the biggest cable going into JATXPWR1. All fans running just fine, CPU fan is running, PSU fan is running, GFX Card fan is running.

Random observations:

- Two little red lights are on, on the mobo, underneath the PCI slots.
- If plugged in ever so slightly and tilted up, the mouse will get power and the optical lazer will shine.
- CD-Rom works withOUT IDE cable plugged in.

Some specs:

[PSU] CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX 520W ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply



***UPDATE*** Plugged a molex in to the empty JATXPWR3 I left empty and it made the red lights go away. No other changes though.
