Question How do i hook up nzxt fpanel to aurora r12 mobo

[Darthlemi]

I am swapping cases and it looks like dells aurora uses a led controller cord that is 12 pins long. My cases as a 2x6 fpanel USB that won't connect. Is there anything that I can do to hook up mobo to case power button?

Swapping standard parts (NZXT) with proprietary parts (Dell/Alienware) causes these issues. In the past when I have helped others with such swaps, the solution was to hack together an adapter from the Dell and standard connectors.

This can be a pain to work through.

Is this the only issue you have connecting up these components?

Yes the fpanel hookup is the last thing I need to do
