Corsair 600T-what do w/ wires at top of case?

Yeah, I found the lack of documentation annoying on the 500R too. Not that I need it, but figures it wouldn't hurt having one. Maybe even a instalation manual (motherboard standoffs, PSU, ect..).

Here's a tutorial on the 650D if you are struggling.


You route the front case cables through the bottom of the case, and plug them at the bottom of the motherboard. For the Extreme4 Gen3, You should have a Audio cable for headphone / mic inputs that plugs at the bottom left of the motherboard, a Firewire port, a USB3 connector, and your bundle of front case headers plugging at the bottom right (power button, reset button, HDD activity light, maybe case speaker connnnector).

They should all be identified on the connector (at least they are on my 500R) and should match headers on your motherboard.

The other 'dangly' cables should then be your front case fans, already connected to the fan controller, with maybe some spare connectors for your side fan and top fans, and a molex power connector to connect directly to the power supply, to provide power to the fans and fan controller. These are best tucked away at the back of the case.
 
Ok so here is where I am stuck....

Here is the motherboard layout


There is No molex wire coming from the PSU unit at all.

There is a single slot (number 45 on the motherboard ) - which says SLi / X-fire Power connector.....









1. Which socket to put the H80 COOLER CPU Fan WIRE?

2. Which sockets to put the 2 x H80 cooler's accomonying Fans.....

3. Which leads and sockets to put the 2 inbult case fans......(1 at bottom front) the other 1 at the top grid of the case.....



in more detail...


The 660T case has the wires shown in the picture below.


The H80 Cooler fan has a Molex female and a 3 pin fan cable.... linked in the same cable......what to do with these???? Do I use them both??? does the molex have to be plugged into anything?? if so where?


The 4 wires shown here in red.....
Cables highlighted in red are the power fan connector cables, which are used to connect up to four fans


The cable highlighted in green connects to a 4-pin Molex cable from your power supply, providing power to the fan controller knob and the four fan connector cables..........

How do I utilise them? (they control the fans at the top of the case)


The Yellow wire - The cable highlighted in yellow is the top 200mm fan connector... What to do with that?? Do I have to plug it into the red wire as in the pictures ??? If so where does that red wire plug in then?

The green WIRE - The cable highlighted in green connects to a 4-pin Molex cable from your power supply, providing power to the fan controller knob and the four fan connector cables... WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS THEN?

thanks
 
Is there a way to put the Yellow into the Red or perhaps put it in a CASE_FAN or CHASSIS_FAN

Put the green one into something like this:

What PSU you got?
 
I have the TX850v2....

OK i've now plugged the Green wire from the CASE into a wire from the PSU that looks like the picture above....


What about the rest of the wires?

CPU fan wire...which has a 3 pin + a connected molex as part of the same wire..Should I plug the 3 pin into CPUfan1 or 2??
2 x system case fans, and
2 x H80 cooler fans -I now know these go into the CPU COOLER itself lol.
