eSATA connector goes into the MB in one of your SATA connectors next to where you have connected the HDD (black thin SATA lead)
Click to expand...

Behind the cables on the MB it says SATA_0 (blue cable goes in there)
and SATA_1 ( black cable)

Also my board only has 4 screws in it, with around another 4 holes that dont have screws. Should I have got more?

To be honest the + and - have always confused me , but as a rule of thumb I always go with coloured wire as positive

Your pc works, I'll follow you xD
 
Spot on

The HDD which will have your OS on should, if at all possible, connect to SATA_0 so you have the ideal connection setup there :)

It does not always go to plan... believe me!!!! :(
 
You should have enough standoffs ( about 8mm long hex brass ) for each mounting hole. You should fit ALL these and use ALL the mounting screws.

It stops the MB flexing and coming into contact with the case which could cause a short.

I have a feeling that you may have the MB out shortly to fit the CPU cooler and you should remedy this then if not before.

Im using the stock cooler that comes with the CPU? Will i still have to take off? and the stand off's are there. There just werent enough screws that were the same to screw it in.

Says nothing in the manual about ''HD AUDIO'' but it does say ''F_Audio''

Could be the same thing? and as for ac'97 thing I have not a clue.
(This wire came with those other 3 tiny PWR LED and HD ones. with the + and -)

Take the connector marked AC 97 and tape it back to the cable, if possible cos you won't be needing that. This cable is for your front headset jacks.

Let me have a little look at your MB manual and I'll tell you where to connect :)
 
For now I've stuck it on F_Audio, because the pins fits and that's the only logical place i can think of after going through the manual.

stock cooler should be no problem... just push and turn connectors.... but for peace of mind once you have this rig going.. spend a bit of time and fit the missing screws. It's expensive kit and a bit of care will save you hundreds of green backs of woo!
 
Any screws of that size would be okay right? Ill just find some laying about my house, or there may be some spare in the case pouch thing with the other screws xD

Use the ones which came with the case!.. Less chance of cross threading and damaging the thread in the standoff

OK... Audio lead (HD Audio ) and plug it into the connector marked F_Audio as per page 7 of your manual (between CPU socket and rear I/O connectors) try to feed it around the top away from heat sources like your GPU and CPU socket if possible.. and thats done...:)

Done it already :)

What about setting up this Disk Drive, i believe i dont have any cables in it al all.
 
With the ribbon cable that we threw in the corner at the beginning

1 end has two connectors quite close together... the end one of these 2 goes in the back of the drive the other end to where you had it plugged in ... in your image 1 (page 7 bottom right)
 
Nope only another one of those used to link all the fans together, Hugely Super long ones.

and one that clips into the Psu, but is WAY TOO small. (wouldn't even reach the graphics card stretched)
 
OK... the long molex lead that we used for the front fans


If you took the top fan connector off the top (end ) of this lead it should reach the back of the drive (you may have to move the drive down one bay) and the top front fan will daisy chain onto the middle connector

you with me?
