Be Quiet pure base 600 plugging in the front io

[JhonConners]

If anyone has experience with this and can help me, that would be great. I have tried looking this up online but no one seems to have this issue/make a solution to it!

But either way, I plugged in the HDD LED, power, reset sw, and -p/+p leds aswell as the Audio.
However, the cable that I presume to be for the USB, does not fit in my USB headers.

I also don't have any clue as to how the fan speed cable is supposed to work.

The manual tells you nothing!!!!

If you don't get a response, as you might not that going to be a low volume sales case, maybe post a pic of the cable as many of us who do builds often may know what it is.

As I will be heading out of town in around 30 minutes I do not really have time to open my PC and take pictures of the cables, but in doing a quick google search I found a not so good picture of the front io connectors.

First off, this is a picture of the fan speed control headers, and the manual tells you nothing on how to set it up:

And this is a picture of all the front io (I couldn't find one of the actual cable. It is the one in blue)

However, I found this review on techpowerup and they said that the larger fan controller header is sata powered, and you just plug in the 3 pin fan headers. Does that mean I plug it into the sat, plug the fans in, then it will just work?

I see that helped didn't have time to go read up on that case.

Looks like standard front panel connectors and a standard USB 3.0 connector. The odball is the Sata powered fan controller. That is going to hook up like you said, sata power cable then you plug the case fans into the fan headers off the controller.

Thing is, the usb header that I had presumed to be usb originally is not the same as the headers on my motherboard. The connector is longer with more pin slots on the cable.

 

[JamesSneed]

Yeah its a USB 3.0 header im assuming your motherboard only has a USB 2.0 header. What motherboard make / model is it?

You can also search for "USB3 to USB2 Header Cable Adapter" like below if this ends up being the case where the motherboard only has USB 2.0 headers. The USB 3.0 is electrically backwards compatible so you can convert from it to 2.0 if you must.

After carefully inspecting my motherboard, I found the USB 3.0 above the GPU, rather than down at the bottom like most other front io/usb2.0 pins are located!

Thats why I was asking you MB make / model to see where that USB 3.0 header was if it was there at all. Perfect sounds like you have every thing sorted out.

 

[JhonConners]

Yes. Thank you!

Hello,

I've also just bought this case and the manual is basic as expected.
" 3-step fan controller ---- The fan controller is powered by a SATA connector that has to be
connected directly to the power supply. The controller is able to
control up to three 3-pin fans. Plug in the 3-pin connector of the
fan controller into the plug of your 3-pin fan."

So I have connected to the SATA power cable, but there are two 3 pin Male connectors left. What do I do to connect
these to the Motherboard, since the fan sensors are also male on the MB ?

MB is https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/

 

[JhonConners]

The male 3 pin connectors plug into your fans. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to control the fan speed unless you had other software/hardware provided by your motherboard.
