How to Connect your Front Panel Cables (F_PANEL Beginners Guide)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2021
- In this video I show you how to easily and properly connect your front panel cables AKA your F_PANEL connectors to your motherboard. This take a bit of patience but overall is not a hard thing to do if you have your motherboards manual. I always use my manual for this because it takes out much of the guess work and makes my life easier. Thanks so much for watching 🙏💯

What’s your least favorite part of building a PC? Mine used to be F_Panel NGL… but tbh I think cable management tops that 😅😂
Just plugging the cables in is a pain😂
@@verivy facts 😂
ram fit)
Spending money for part lol
Cable management is my favourite part because its calm work and i dont have to sweat over the fear of damaging my motherboard when i do that 😆
Thank you for the amazingly simple video. Was adding a hard drive to my desktop but the SATA port was under my graphics card. Didn’t want to bother removing it so I poked around in the process removing the connectors. Ended up taking out my graphics card and trying to put the connectors back. It was hard to read the labels and I couldn’t find my manual. Your video saved me. Much better than the other videos that tell you to just check the manual
I’m glad I could help out 🙌 Thanks for sharing 🙏 and watching
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Normally I need to find something similar and try to figure it out from there, but you did a great job breaking it down and explaining the process.
this is the fifth video that I watched and this was incredibly helpful I was having difficulty navigating both the manual and my PC and this saved me so much time.
Absolutely loved this video. Total lifesaver. Please keep ‘‘em coming. Good job
You and Buildzoid are the only dudes on RUclips that i have seen that recommended using the motherboard manual to help make sense of the layout.
Since I started doing that, it's like turning on a light to read a book, thank you!
It’s genuinely such a good habit to have. I still use the manual for somethings just in case. Removes any guess work. I appreciate the comment 🙏
You HAVE to be trolling.
I'm up past midnight, been putting my PC back together since like 3, with a bit of a break. I could not find this information anywhere and I was not having any luck finding it in the manual. Thank you SO much!!! This was perfect!
I feel your pain. I just put together a PC for my wife and there was no documentation in the box that showed the location or pin outs of any of the connectors on the mobo. Not too much of a problem for an experienced person but imo it's sloppy. So I knew where the front panel connector was but forgot which pin was what. RUclips to the rescue...
@@jimmarburger611 glad you got it sorted out!
YOU SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU❤❤❤ MAY THE LORD PROTECT YOU
I feel you. I just got my new Thermaltake Core P8 TG and I was going insane over these cables
@@ghostdog9921I'm lost over where they went as well. I'm building another PC for my daughter and I can't remember where they go. I built mine in a Lian Li case that made it super easy by having those cables all together in 1 connector. 😂
Read the fucking manual jajajajaajjaja I didn't too..
Thank you so much for this video! Saved me stress and money. Fantastic job
You got my sub, from something being the smallest thing ever that completely skipped my mind on doing these wires, THE MANUAL!! Bravo 👏 you just saved my life as my 6700xt card just came in so tonight I build and I was stressed but now I feel alright lol 😅
Glad I could help. Thanks so much 🙏
Thank you so much! Showing how to get the important information from the manual was especially helpful 😊
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching
Best no nonsense explanation! Best advice: read the manual! ~Thank you!
1yr later and still a life saver. Ty
Bro thank you so so so much. I spent days n days n days I couldn’t get it come on. Finally after your video my pc came on. Thank you so much
Very helpful. (The arrow on the back, in particular.)
Thank you for taking the time.
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching 🙏
Bro tysm you saved my pc you are the best the goat the most beautiful bro these littlr switches killed me bro tysm youre the bedt
Thank you so much for this video! I was struggling with the front panel cables and you helped a lot 👌
Found your video and had to subscribe cause your are the man! Thanks for the guidance.
Thanks for making this so easy. I’m on my third build and this still gives me trouble.
Thank you a very simple straightforward video I’ll give it a try tomorrow fingers crossed
Good luck and thanks for watching, glad I can help 🙌
Just what i needed! Thank you masterrr!!
First time builder, this was a good tutorial to learn from. ty! 😊
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you so much dude, you've helped alot!
super useful tip with the grnd ty
Dude this is the best video about this. Before this i just used trial and error on the positive/ground on every build.
I used to do the same 😅 once I figured it all out I made this video to help others like me. Glad to see it’s helping 🙌
You saved me....thought I needed to send my new build off to someone to fix!
thank you for this, my husband too busy to help me with this so I watched this video, now my pc is up and running with a new motherboard
I’m glad I could help 🙏 Thanks for watching
Omg thank you so much
thank you for explaining the triangle, it's a shame the manual couldn't do that!
THANK YOU 🙏
This Man saved me thank you 🙏
Funny I've been building PCs since the 90s, but after getting myself a new Lian Li 011D Evo, I kept looking for the usual connectors and was not able to locate them. Then I saw one connector with a bunch of wires named F_Panel...I looked and lo behold! The pattern matches the pinout configuration on my motherboard. Wo-lah!!! A first for me! Of all the cases I've bought up to this point, they all came with individual connectors...I thought this case has some MIA parts! I was about to return it back to MicroCenter.
Yeah I love it. Some nzxt cases come like that as well. Nice touch for sure
Fucking life saver, literally I thought it would be listed on the menu but apparently it was on where you showed it, sorry for bad english I am tired and have spent 2 + hours changing the motherboard with many more to go
Extremely helpful video. Thanks a lot.
Glad I could help 🙌 Thank so much for watching 🙏
Thank you :)
You saved my life man, thank you a lot
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you for this. My book doesn't mention which connector the triangle goes on and the books don't mention if ground and power button are positive or negative. Your video is a life saver
I’m glad I could help. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@BuildsWithV Love the video, its the small things that make a big difference. To clarify, the LED's have a +/- because they're Diodes (Light Emitting Diodes) and current only flows one way through them. So they have to be hooked up correctly for them to work. The Power and Reset switches would work either way, but there are considerations of what side of the switch is hot and it's best to be safe and hook them up as directed. A good rule of thumb is that the writing on the connectors should all face the same direction, in this case all facing to the edge of the motherboard. Not that those singles wont go in either way but it looks better and you won't have to remove them to see what they are. Rock on Brother.
P.S. There's a reason for the saying "RTFM" lol. For those that don't know, it means Read The F______ Manual. A bit crass but a good idea. Thanks for making that a focus.
Awesome explanation !
Very helpful video! Very well explained. Preparing to build my first pc any the wiring was my biggest worry. Thanks so much
Thank YOU so much 🙏🙏 Good luck on the build. Just take your time and definitely use RUclips as a guide as you go. You’ll do perfectly 👌
oml thank you dawg
Thank you
thank you
thank you for the info , I took a part a premade bundle on accident and I couldn't figure out the sequence of connecting the power button and led.
Thanks for the helpful information brother u saved me on this one
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching 🙏
Mine were the f panel connectors aswell😂 thx for the help
Bro just saved me from a heart attack
You are a freaking beast. Thank you!
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching 🙏

Nice vid thanks for sharing
Bro yoy saved from a heart attack, so much ty
Awesome wow thank youuu
Glad I could help 🙌 Thanks for watching
Should I plug my spair power plug for the f panel into the ground? Aswell with the reset switch?. They both only need one plugged in for my mboard

Uraaah.Thanks Man😂
Hey V, nice vid mate. How did you go with the SL UNI fans?
Did you get a chance to see the vid of my build?
Least favourite is putting the cpu cooler/aio into the case and forgetting to connect the 8 pin cpu power cables haha
OMG THANKS A LOT 3:50 THIS SAVED MEEEEEEE
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏
Gonna save this video 🙏 never erase it!
You are the best❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏 Glad I could help
I followed the manual and still now working
Hi V,
do you know where I can find rgb controller with a connector for 2-pin cable from tower front panel button?
Thanks :)
Thank you a lot. i think the layout works the same on most motherboard.
I've msi and it was exactly the same
No problem, glad I could help 🙏 Yeah you might be right but I haven’t paid attention 😅
Bro will aura sync work on asus motherboard when we connect the front panels on that thing or does it have to be plugged into a different pin
do I need to plug in the F panel cable bc the layout is different on my motherboard then what i got from the case and it literally can't plug in
Hey, I see you also got the 4000D Corsair. Have you got any problems with the front panel audio jack? When I connect my phone earphones it doesn't get recognized nor I can't hear anything (neither a buzz or smthn). I read on forums and many people seem to have the same issue. Could you recommend me something?
Hey man i am struggling to connect these and u helped me thank you! I do have a question is that the wire that is connected to ur hdd lded and all the other stuff, i do not have that i have the nzxt case and it came with it but its a very small wire and i dont know where to connect it
Thank you! It's time to re-design those annoying small connectors..
Sir, I don't know if your're going to reply me or not, i have builded my pc a month ago but it was shutting down automatically so i giave it to a technician but after he give me my pc i can't change my fan light colors, it is Gamdias Aura GC1 case and MSI B450M Mortar MAx Mobo, and it doesn't have a reset sw cable
Hay Dude! It's easy with the m B out!
Hey man, thank you for this. Im just wondering where to plug de other side of this cable ? Like the other side of the cable that splits in many little one. Idk if im clear. Anyway thanks for this vidéo man
I connect everything right according to my Manuel but my computer still restarts over and over whenever I power it on. Any ideas what I can do?
will this also apply for my asus z690a motherboard ?
I have just built my latest PC (after about 20) and nothing comes up on the screen.
So I wonder if I connected these cables incorrectly!
Mine doesn’t come directly plugged into the case pls help I have some adapted but idk where to plug it in
Is it posible the pc cann fail in opstart if one of the cable is not Connect ?
Oh my god, I was struggling with it for like 30 minutes until I realized I had it upside down lmao
So I’ve plugged them into the correct locations but my pc won’t turn on. The motherboard is lit up like it’s in sleep mode. It just won’t turn on
Hi I need some help. Im new to building pcs. My nzxt h7flow case doesnt have cables like the ones you first show. its an f pannel connector but seems like they are all togeather in one block. do these still fit into the places you show ?
Yeah, nzxt and some other brands started making them bunched up into one connector. They should all fit in the right spot. Just line up power button + and - and plug them in and the rest should be same spot.
I always wondered what that little arrow was
My pc didnt come up with this cable - where can i buy it?
I'mn trying to build a pc and I have a cable called: RGB SW... I can not find where it connects to on my panel header
How would I make the reset button a led button?
I have b550a rog strix motherboard I didn't know how do it right I connected them like u said it's still not turning on my pc
ive got mine plugged in all good. but using the front panel connectors, my pc wont turn on. but i can turn it on and it works fine just using the motherboard
I hate 2power led + , what i have to do?
The arrow shows the power wire. That's what I was wondering.
I don't install motherboards every day but I've built my own PCs for 30 years and those damn stupid wires have not changed. I would very much like one plug for the whole deal.
i got a question. when you put the front connector parts into the motherboard where does the other end go?
The other end is typically already plugged into your front panel I/o. If it’s not then you may be able to plug it in. It just goes to where the power button is, USB ports in the front etc.
Thank you so much for this, I've spent the better part of 3 hours searching for this answer because nobody ever shows the other end of the wire
@@wicked1580 dang I honestly had no idea some cases don’t have them plugged in already. I will remember to include that next time I remake this video. Thanks and I’m glad I could help 🙌
Hey so I have prongs on the other end of mine and I have no idea where they go
Hello, i have an extra cable named "• led" with two spot to connect it but i have no idea where to plug it. The only places i think it could go are jraibow1 (becausd led etc) or JCI1 and JBAT1 because the have to connectors. If someone has an idea i'd be very glad
First build and I are the words usually face down when connecting the front panels
Does the front panel connectors come with the lian li o11 dynamic case?
Yes they do
My front fan's rgb is not working but fan is working fine .. plzz help me i can't fine any rgb connector toh put in motherboard ..my Cabinet is 311mt
Holy shit I fucking love you
Maybe somebody can help me with this my cool master only has a HDD LED and Power Switch cable. What order do these need to be plugged in? My build is dead until I can solve this issue
It doesnt mother the plus or minus symbol for rest and power button but the hdd led and power button led idoes matter if you connect them not right the led will not fuction right
Do I need to connect anything from the case to the power supply for the front panel to work?
Typically no but some cases have specific hub for fans or rgbs that require either sata or molex connectors to the PSU. Depends on the case but even then, those may not need to be connected to the PSU in order for the front panel to work.
@@BuildsWithV Thank You
so i have an old asus essentio cm6870 and i have the power led, usb3, and speaker in and out working but im not sure how to get the micro-sd port to work.
My motherboard is a gigabyte b660m ds3h which is not the original board that came with the prebuilt office case.
it would be helpful if i knew exactly what each front panel cord did and where it plugs in to.
I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never connected a SD port to any of my PCs so I have no ideas. I’m sure someone has some info on RUclips but I just don’t have any experience with it.
@@BuildsWithV sadly not lol
@@realredrobot oh that’s unfortunate 😅 what I’d do is look at the connector and then look on your motherboard for a same connector or similar and then look up the user manual for the motherboard and see if you can find what that connector on the motherboard is for.
what about the one next to it 'speaker pled'
