Whats this for?

[spencer-a-farias]

Hey guys not sure if this is the right spot so bare with me and please redirect me if its the wrong area of the forum. Essentially my question is what does this do (refer to pic) and do I need to have it plugged into the speaker prongs on the mobo (if that's were it even goes?)

It is the speaker. Plug it in to get the POST-Beeps from your BIOS.

If you read the silkscreening on the connector, it would have made it obvious enough what this thing is supposed to be, lol.

I wanted to know its function however I didn't even thing about post beeps.

I suppose I should not be too surprised new PC builders do not know about POST beep codes since so few PC cases (if any) include PC speaker these days.

Can't say I blame PC case manufacturers for that, last time I built a PC with a speaker, I ended up disconnecting it because beeps on every typo and wrong key were driving me nuts.

Hi

You are correct, most case manufacturers done include them nowdays...

For my shops we buy them in packs of 100 lol...they are pennies... but we always add them to a custom build...

All the best Brett
