Hey guys, I've recently built my own computer co mpletely on my own (which im proud of :D)
I'm not going to got through specs atm, but it's a very good gaming computer and I've been using it for over one month now and gosh it's awsome.

One thing I couldn't do when ubilding it was front panel audio and usb I had absoultely no idea so i said stuff it, but now I really just wanna install them so my computer feels complete.

What i have done here is basically opened my case grabbed the front panel usb cables (theres 2 parts to that one) and front panel audio cable and wrote down the name for each pin, then I have screenshots of motherboad manual telling which goes where, but the names do not match so i don't have an idea, but I'm assuming smart guys on this forum will know what names mean what and where they match up.

Here's the stuff below!

Front panel audio / usb

AUDI-------------------USB (this one is the two 4 pins and one single pin)----------USB (this one has 7 seperate pins)

Mic -----------------------------(1)+5V------------------------------------------------GROUND
Mic bias-------------------------(1)-D--------------------------------------------------TPA+
Aud Gnd-------------------------(1)+D   ------------------------------------------------TPB+
FPOUT-R------------------------(1)GROUND---------------------------------------------+12V
FPOUT-L------------------------(2)+5V-------------------------------------------------TPA-
RET-L---------------------------(2)D   ------------------------------------------------TPB-
RET-R---------------------------(2)+D-------------------------------------------------GROUND
---------------------------------(2)GROUND   
---------------------------------GROUND (Single pin)      

(1) = circle with one in it infront of writing on the 4 pin connenctor
(2) = ^ as above with 2 instead



MOTHERBOARD MANUAL







i would HUGELY appreicate if someone could basically tell me this pin in instructions matches this pin on the name of cables in your case.


I'm using case XG Dragon.

For the power one, firewire one, There is 7 pins, yet mobo has 9 which needs to be plugged.
There is 3 grounds my case has 2 and there is two +12v my mobo has one, how do i know which 12 v pin i dont plug, and which GND pin i dont plug?

also, on the 2nd usb one, there is NC, what is NC? Is NC, just the separate ground pin?
if so all i need to know is what these stand for in relation to my case.

If those could be answered, I'd be sweet for USB front ports.

Then all I need to know is this for front panel audio, basically what my case pins = in relation to the names on mother board manual.

my case =

Mo mobo has 7.1 surround sound, so I'm assuming i use the HD option???????

If so all i need to know is what these means in relation to my case and motherboard manual.
my case = as below ----------------------------------------------- mobo names = as below
Mic----------------------------------------------------------------- MIC2_L
Mic bias------------------------------------------------------------- GND
Aud Gnd--------------------------------------------------------------MIC2_R
FPOUT-R--------------------------------------------------------- |  -ACZ_DET
FPOUT-L------------------------------------------------------------ LINE2_R
RET-L---------------------------------------------------------------- GND
RET-R-----------------------------------------------------------------FAUDIO_JD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------LINE_2L
-----------------------------------------------------------------------GND

So basically ^^^^^ Which ones equal which? and which pins do i not worry about.

you know, I assume mic = MIC2_R (pin3) and Mic Bias = MIC2_L (pin1)and Aud Gnd = GND (pin2)
then FPOUT-R = Line2_R (pin5) and FPOUT-L = LINE_2L(pin9), would that be right?
and *censored* is ret-l and ret-r?

I hope someone can help!

and yes, it has mic and sound in front panel.
