[SOLVED] extra ground mandatory?

[jonathan.lapointe.07]

Im moving the guts of a thinkcentre m81 into a new case. The usb connector from the panel has should receive 2 grounds. But the wire that came with my new case are lackind 2 grounds wires. Will it matter if those are not connected to my m81 motherboard or should i create 2 other ground wire from those that came from the panel. Im receiving my kit friday so for now i just tried to get ready for it.

If the wires connect at the same node (spot) on both ends, you don't need two as one would be redundant.

The only issue you could run into would be if it were a current carrying wire....and then you would need to be concerned about wire gauge....but most grounds don't carry current and when they do it's generally small.
