just finished my first ever build which went well the only problem i have is where to plug temp display and another identicle plug(might be fan controller)dont help that all instruction manuals use a lot of jargon and grainy black and white pictures.
i have a gigabyte Z68AP-D3. any help would be most welcome

Right, youll need to clarify for me what exactly is up, the green and white cable with the black thing on the end is a temperature probe, i think the fan controller wires are green and white too. They have a 3 pin adapter that youp lug 2 of your fans in, i think it is inside the 5.25" drive bays or under the non windowed side panel.

You will also need to remove your front panel and connect the two cables inderneath that, they too are green and white.

all of those you mentioned are connected there are two black plugs with green and yellow cables tied behind the side pannel. everything else seems to be working.

Good good, plug your fans into those adaptors and job done, instant fan control

How do you like the case?

murm · 27 Oct 2011 at 21:09

the case is great, though i didnt realise how hard cable management was.
and i have a modular one.
