My case has an all-in-one 9 pin header, but my motherboard doesn't seem to line up with that. Any tips on how I connect this? Below are the models I'm using, as well as a pic of each from the respective manuals (mobo on the left, case on the right).

Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 Eagle WiFi7
Case: NZXT H7 Flow (2022)

Hmm... 🤔

You should be able to connect the connector as such:

Green - connector itself
Blue - wires that connect (since your PC case doesn't have reset button)

But if the connector pinout is different than what MoBo has them, you need individual connection. For that, you can buy CableMod's front I/O cable extensions,

I have them in use with my builds, mostly for eyecandy. :)
