Using Power Button to Trigger PSU

[turkey3_scratch]

How do I go about making my build so when I press the power button on my case it turns on the motherboard's power? Thanks!

You connect the button (via the wires on it, to the PWR pin headers on the motherboard. Post your motherboard make/model and I'll post a picture of where the pins are and the part in the manual that explains how to do it.

The motherboad you purchased came with a manual, in that manual it tells you exacly how to do this.

This is one of the few parts of the motherboard that is not standardized so you will have to look at your specific motherboards manual to see where on the board the pins are at, and in what order.
