Or if you look at it the right way up confused its in the top left.

Not necessarily true, there is no "right way up" ...as you can see from gigabyte's own image, they have pictured it the way I described :rolleyes:

should have something similar to that the 24pin and 8pin/4pin mobo connectors

I've found the CPU cable but it is a six pin connector, a bit confused here...

Have you read any of the guides or watched the videos?!

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:08

Well, there is no CPU connector then, the only ne labeled CPU is a six pin.

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:09

I have read these guides and watched these videos, just it isn't clear enough, my 13 year old brain does not want to co operate.

Sorry, made a small mistake, it's an 8 pin connector but my mobo is 4 pin...

Chihero · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:12

that's fine just plug 4 of the pins in!

Can you take a photo of the cable and sure one of us will tell you where it goes but the CPU power cable is definitely either 4pin or 4pin+4pin or 8pin

Good to see you have found it.

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:15

Can't supply photos, this would be much simpler if I wasn't provided with tonnes of cables..

Take your time it's easy to get frustrated as said before take a break have something to drink and go back to it. Once you have done it once then it all becomes easy from then on

MarkJr · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:23

Ok, now that the CPU power is sorted, now it's time for the front panel stuff, anyone got a diagram for that? The one on the motherboard is confusing :s

Maybe that will help

Thanks, by the way, something's up with my front USB connector, it isn't long enough to reach the actually connector, any way of getting round this?

The standard orientation then. The way 99.9% of motherboards are oriented, and the way the OP's is too... :rolleyes:

No need to add confusion.

You sure it is not just cable tied up or caught somewhere in the case as they are made usually with plenty spare cable

Buy an extension or strip the cable and extend it. If you could post a picture of how far away it is we can advise more.

I'll try to get a picture. Honestly, it's 1 pin off of being perfect, it's a little bit angled, and the photo I'm about to provide shows me pointing to it.

Akagi · 3 Jan 2014 at 16:43

It should be long enough. Make sure you are trying to plug it into the USB front panel header and not the front audio or firewire headers.

There it is, I am pointing to it.

Looks like its got its wires wrapped around the USB 3.0 connector. I can't see a way around that.

Amazing case manufacturing.
