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!
 
Hello and welcome to the forum :)

On the case connectors, majority of the time the reset and power and connectors can go either ways as they tend to be only a switch, on the LED cablesI tend to fine these more tricky, luckily if the LED does not wok then the majority of the time turn the cable around.

What is the make / model of the PSU being used.
 
Thanks for the advice guys, I have had this PSU for a couple years already and it hasn't failed yet, so maybe mine was from a good batch? I'll look into getting a newer one regardless.

Anymore information on connecting up the system panel? I'm guessing one of the Power LED's is for the HDD LED?
 
What case is it? Since both say Power LED it's really hard to say where each one goes. It might say in the manual of the case.
