Hello everybody,
Before I can finish building my new PC I really require some help. I can’t figure out how to connect my case to my system panel.
I have the Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case and the Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard.
The case has a 2 pin Power LED, another 2 pin Power LED, a Power SW and a Reset SW.
The Power LED’s have green and white cables. The green cable is labelled on the back with a triangle pointing to an S. The white cable is labelled G.
The Power SW has blue and white cables. The blue cable is labelled on the back with a triangle pointing to an S. The white cable is labelled G.
The Reset SW has two grey cables. They are labelled like the ones above.
I think I have connected the power and reset switches correctly but can’t figure out what to do with the power LED’s. Please see the pictures by following the below link.

Another question I have is about my graphics card. I have the HIS IceQ X Radeon HD 6950 2GB. The manual says that it works best when connected with two 6-pin power cables from the PSU. It says it doesn’t recommend converting two 4-pins to a 6 pin (it says it is designed to work with high performance power supplies using 6-pin power cables). However I only had one 6 pin cable so I have connected it to the PSU with one 6-pin cable and two 4-pin cables with a converter. Do you think this will be ok?
I understand that these will be considered newbie questions by the majority of you but I would really appreciate some help!
