Hi all, just finishing up attaching all my cables but I noticed my front panel connector didnt have a Reset SW. I have all the other ones bunched together, but this one is missing. Does this happen? Do I need one? What functionality would I lose? Thanks!

Many cases do not come with a Reset switch. You just leave the pins on the connector not attached to anything. Or for $2 on ebay you can buy a reset switch and figure out how to mount it on your case.

The reset switch is useful if your PC is hard locking. Since you don't have a reset switch if you get a had lock you hold the power off button down for 6 seconds. If that fails then you turn off power at the wall.
