help finding where connectors go to motherboard

My first build using GA AB350 gaming 3 amd b350 and eclipse p300 tower case , Well I am look for some help as I am trying to find where all the wires from the case go to , so I have named the connecters coming from the case as 1. HHD LED/ 2.HDAUDIO / 3. Power sw

/ 4. 12v input 416 / 5 . Connect this connecter with phanteks multi led strips / 6 usb 3.0 /7 fan .

I want to also point out there is a G connector that comes with the mother board this has labelled on it – first side as – pwr led +- / Cl +-/ Res +-/ HD +- / 2nd side power LED +- / PW +- / speaker +-/

Well I didn’t want to guess some I am looking for someone that is more experienced in building .

These will all be detailed in the manual, if you don't have a copy it will be available as pdf online.

Yep, all in the manual with diagrams, and usually labelled on the motherboard. You'll also find that a lot of those can only go in their correct socket and the correct way round. Just don't force anything.

I had the same G connector come with my Motherboard but never used it i just put the correct connectors on the right pins, I think with your motherboard its the colour coordinated pins at the bottom right of the board...

HDAUDIO i think is bottom left of Motherboard labelled F_Audio

The power sw has not got a + - marking the wire are colours are grey and black I am taking it the grey wire is positive just need confirmation ?

TBH, if it doesn't work, power off the PSU, and just switch it around. It won't hurt anything. Just be careful not to bend any pins.

The thing that confused me was that 12v input" connector from the case but I think now this goes to a sata power cable from the psu . so basically I only have power sw and hdd led cable and I cant find a rest switch cable or power led cable ?

I had the same with my InWin101 case, Connected the Sata cable and the HDD LED & Power SW and thats that... I was told reset switches arent really needed thats why it doesnt come with one... . It looks like thats what youve got with your case bud

The positive should have a small "triangle" on the connector.

I wouldn't have thought the polarity of the power switch would matter, all you are doing is shorting out the two pins
