I have a Cooler Master case that I'm putting together. Everything is going great EXCEPT I have a 2-pin PWR LED wire and the wire from the case has 3? What do I need to do?
 
You can either move one of the case pins to the middle position and then let the connector hang off the end of the FP pinout (if there's room), or I've seen some people that carefully slice the 3 pin connector in half with an exacto knife and shave it down so you have two 1 pin connectors.
 
Honestly, the build finished that day and is now in use in my front office. Thanks for the help though. There were 3 pins on the mobo but only 2 wires from the case.
