Front USB

[ionicle_old]

does anyone actually bother attaching the USB ports on there case...i would, but i dont have a clue how too...and i was tempted to snip the wires like deepfied has done to get rid of un-necesery clutter...but does anyone actually bother? cos a how too guide would be good...

Yeah i always hook mine up... im currently using both of my front ports as well.

No real guide needed for hooking them up. If you don't have the block style connectors then you just need to resort to your mobo manual for what VCC+/- etc gets plugged on to what pin to make it work correctly. Every mobo is setup differently and cases vary by manufacturer when it comes to giving you the plug style connector or the loose ends which you have to plug in seperately.

I use mine too. Sometimes i dont hook them up out of sheer laziness, then I regret it. Hook'm up.

yeah i always do mine, i never use back ports, always front

same with the rest of you, all my usb ports are filled + 2 8 port hubs :rollingla

 

[ionicle_old]

i have the DFI Nforce 4 Utra D....and the Tsunami dream...any ideas? theres also an audio one...could someone write up a guide?

 

[Dav0s]

in your mobo manual ionicle

 

[NickS]

No need for a guide, it's different for ppl's hardware.

Read the damn manual .

cutting them if plan stupid, they are probably one of the most useful things implemented on a case, a guide would be pointless because every case is different and its not hard at all all you have to do is look at your case manual and your motherboard manual and find the right connectors on your motherboard that correspond to the connectors on your case simple

I use four of the 8 ports in the front of my case. The rest I disconnect. I do use the rear ones for my mouse, keyboard etc tho

Read the case and mobo manual Ian

 

[ionicle_old]

i did, but the letters and words on the little blocks at the end of the cables dint match the ones in the mobo manual

You should be able to match them up with some common sense.

co-mo-n s-en-se ? lol, oj....i kno what u mean, i tried, but how does v +/- equal anythin in the DFI instruction book which ses somthing else

 

[Dav0s]

GND = easy, its ground

VCC - = same as -

VCC+ = same as +

5v = PWR, probs red wire.

this really isnt difficult ionicle lol

 

[ionicle_old]

theres more than that though theres like 20, cos theres front USB2 x2, front ieee 1394 (firewire) front audio out, and in

 

[Dav0s]

erm, the title is Front USB, not fron everything.

we are helping you with your USB, not eveyrthing else. seperate the USb ones and use them.

 

[NickS]

Easiest way to remember it Ionicle is the wires go in THIS order from left to right...
