bad cable management i know but i did all professional looking then had to redo all over again

Scone · 3 Nov 2010 at 14:24

i know its blurry but it says ac97 and its attached to hd audio but has no where to go help?

Admiral Huddy · 3 Nov 2010 at 14:34

?? Connect it to the either the A97 or HD audio connector to the F_AUDIO header.

What mobo is it?

Might be a good idea to post your spec in opening post.

Scone · 3 Nov 2010 at 14:43

i have a hd audio cable plugged into f_audio and attached to that cable is another named a97?

NightSt@lk3r · 3 Nov 2010 at 14:49

You only have to connect either AC97 or HD Audio, not both. I believe HD audio is the better of the two. But since certain older mobos don't support HD audio the connector gives you the option of both.

thanks but will my mobo support it?

charge?

Just put the front USB header(s) into any USB2 marked port. If you are not sure which port it will be marked on the board and in the manual. The blue one it is in now will be fine.

I think this is what you are getting at.

Scone · 3 Nov 2010 at 15:20

thanks its my first build so i will be asking stupid questions.. a lot

Scone · 3 Nov 2010 at 15:22

right stupid question number 2 my xfx psu has nowhere to screw it in to my case will it stay without it?

WingZero30 · 3 Nov 2010 at 15:25

Sweet looking specs. The case and cpu cooler look very nice

.

NightSt@lk3r · 3 Nov 2010 at 15:25

It has to have some method of securing it to the case.

I wouldn't recommend not screwing it in.

The PSU will have screw holes in the back and these need to line up with the screw holes in the case. You may need to move it around a bit to line them up, or flip the PSU the other way up.

Scone · 3 Nov 2010 at 15:26

maybe screwing from underneath?

NightSt@lk3r · 3 Nov 2010 at 15:29

the 4 screws you see on the back in this pic are the mounting screws
