Motherboard Question...

Elite

banned
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 case should have connectors like these:

I'm still not sure.

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.

Well,
1. you dont have to worry about "No pin" and "NC"
2. What you have labeled as Data1, is marked as DX (Data2 is DY)
3. Pin7 is Ground1, Pin8 is Ground2

So? If you only have 1 set of wires then you only connect 1 (well i mean you could try connecting 2 with only 1 set of wires but that might be hard) :)
