Motherboard Question...

Elite · 08-26-2005, 10:12 AM

I purchased the following motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939.
and i want to connect the motherboard to my 2 front USB ports (by cable) on my new case.
The problem is, i don't know what the cable is called so i don't know what to ask for when i go shopping.
The cable connects in the F_USB1/F_USB2 (Front USB Connector)

Any help will be much appreciated.

your front usb's should have a cable coming out in the case.

Have a look at: http://www.directron.com/installusb.html
and tell me, if that's the cable(s) needed.

Your case should have connectors like these:

My case does have connectors like this but there are two yellow connectors on the motherboard with 9 pins each. I'm not sure where to connect each connector from the case to get the front USB ports working. Will i have to get two of these? (see below):

Are there any wires at all which seem to come from where the front USB's on your case are?

Yes there are (the connectors look like the ones above on the pic that Praetor posted). The actual writing on the connectors is different to mine.

Please download both of the attachments that i posted and tell me how will i be able to connect the connectors to my motherboard.
Note: I have 2 connectors on my motherboard, they are yellow and have 9 pins each. They look a bit like this.
