[SOLVED] Old motherboard in a new case

[Dj0gany]

Hi,i have a question.So i have this old Thinkcentre edge 72 i think,that has a ih61m motherboard.I have a i3-3240,8gb ddr3 (2x4) and a r9 380 4gb from gigabyte.I bought a RAIDMAX NEON RGB case and i want to change my components to a raidmax case because it as much better airfolw,and it will look nicer.My question is can i connect all the front panel cables to my old motherboard,and will it work.I was essentially planing to switch everything to raidmax case when i buy my new mobo (asrock b450m-hdv r4.0),my new cpu(ryzen 5 1600),and new ram (geil evo forza 8x2 gb 3200mhz),but i just cant look at this old case anymore and the only thing that bothers me is the connectivity of front panel connectors.

The motherboards (thinkcentre's and asrock's) looks like micro-ATX, so yes, it would probably fit. Could look a bit ugly and you'd probably end up with alot of leftover space. My reccomendation is to look for a micro-ATX case, but if you really want this exact case, go for it.

I already bought the case back in december,but all i worry about is do old motherboard have everything you need for plugging in the front panel + 3 fans at the front??

Some research on Google showed that there are headers for Front usb and audio:

I'm not sure about the fan part. There's a CPU cooler header for the included cooler. There isn't really anything stated about fan-headers. Worst case scenario: you'll have to go for a molex to fan header converter.

This controller can be put in your back pci slot of your case. It's a molex to 3 pin fan and it has a knob to control fanspeed.

yeah,thank you for your time,but i dont think i will do it to be honest.Almost every adapter is gone under perform than the original power source so i will wait for a new mobo that has all the connectivity needed for this pc to work in a new case.Thank you for your suggestions,and have a nice day

A little update.After this thread i took my time and dug deep into the internet to find my front panel connectors.Little did i know i would find the solution on this site.I found a thread that was in 2017 and the guy bassically "drew" the front panel and where everything goes.If you are interested in looking at it,take a look here:https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/f-panel-configuration.2979319/ .I switched everything in my new case about a week ago and its really nice.The green mobo isnt really sticking out because of the cooler and the gpu which cover the whole board bassically.
Thanks for the help thought,stay safe
