Motherboard and Front I/O connectivity issues

[rblgenius]

The motherboard I have is MSI P67A-C43 (B3) and the case I have is COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1

The front panel of the case combined the LED and powerswitch wires together into one combined standoff. The pin sticking out of the motherboard however do not match with the pins and I have tried googling and doing everything and nothing works. This is my first build and I don't want to turn on the computer to test around in case I did something wrong and fry my motherboard.

Here are the attached pictures with the holes not matching up etc.

What do I do??

Are you sure that isn't the front panel audio cable?

 

[rblgenius]

One is audio the other is the power/LED one

Just checked my audio cable, it looks exactly like the one pictured. Are there other front panel cables you're missing?

Anything that looks similar to this: http://www.mysuperpc.com/build_your_own_computer/antec_sonata_2_front_system_panel_connectors.jpg

Ok when one of the plugs pictured is labeled HD audio and it fits JAUD1 but the second one labeled AC '97 but does not fit anywhere on my motherboard.

I'll attach more pictures.

You only use one or the other, AC97 audio or HD audio.

Everything is attached together and not separated like that... which is making this harder than it should be =\.

 

[rblgenius]

Ohh I just saw your other response.

Which one should I use? HD audio then?

 

[kilo_17]

You should be able to, if that doesn't work right use AC97. That was the case with my MB.

AC '97 is the precursor to HD Audio, so they're both audio plugs.
Are you sure there are no other cables on the case?

 

[rblgenius]

It fits. Thanks for your quick reply! Time to see if if this thing boots.

There were two cables from the case. One fit into the JUSB port (I'm guessing this will control the USB and the power LED now???) and the other one just fit into the JAUD1 port that I showed in the above picture.

Yeah, the USB cable controls the front panel USB, but not the power LED.
