Hello guys, so I finally got all my parts together except RAM, which is coming on monday.
So few questions.
1. If I completely messed up my wiring is it possible for my computer to burn?
2.
So my mother board Asus X99 has these two http://i.imgur.com/kZ16iB3.jpg , EATX12_v1 and v2 but my power supply does not have 4 pin to plug in to EATX12V_2, so i left it without plugging anything in it, is that bad?
3. http://i.imgur.com/E3lE31y.jpg is marked is CPU, meaning I plug that end in to the motherboard right? Is it bad if I plug the ends in reverse, such as CPU in PSU?
4. My case has these two wires http://i.imgur.com/fQCnne5.jpg , which I am not sure what they are or where they go.
5. Did I correctly install my CPU fan direction?
6. Here is album if my build http://imgur.com/a/8YGxD please take a look, let me know what you think of my wiring skills(I got none lol).


Thank you so much, I know its a lot of questions. But this is my first build and I am scared I might burn or ruin it somehow...

1 no
2 plug in the cpu pin (you got listened in question 3) into the v1 , the other 4 pin thats left open is for addional pwoer if yorue ocing for extra juice.
3yes plug that into the v1 on the right on picture from question 2
4 plug them into the sys fan from the motherboard (system fan), they make your case fans spin.
5 yes u did
6 greta job man if u got more questions ask them.

Thank you so much!

 
No your PC cannot catch fire from wiring, that'll only be the case if you have literally the worst power supply money can buy and an unstable power connection.
The one that says CPU, the 4+4 pin you have photographed, put that into V1.
You only need the additional 4 pin connector if you're doing crazy OC.
You'll know which way to plug them in as the one labelled CPU goes into the motherboard while the other goes into the PSU.
It simply won't fit the other way around.
The two things coming out of your case are fan headers for the attached fans, plug them into the sys_fan headers on your motherboard.
CPU fan is correctly installed.

i always suggest following the mobo manual from page 1 to the end.

as you read, hook up what that page is talking about if you have that part/wire. then move to the next page and do that part and so on until you are out of manual pages to read. this way you do not miss anything and everything goes to the right place.

this is the best way for a new builder to ensure it all goes in the right place. can't go wrong when you read the manual :)

seriously though RTFM!!!!!!
