Power button cable doesn't fit on new motherboard

That is a good find Phone Man.

my only problem is with that piece is i have no clue on where the extra stuff (led's/extra button) will go

 

[AddRAM]

Almost all motherboard front header panels are labeled, it shows quite clearly what pins go where, and mark where the positive and the negative pins go. And Bob already gave you a pic of what the end of all the front power connectors look like, you simply match the right wire to it`s connector on the motherboard header and put the positive and negative terminals on the pins exactly the same way. In the picture of the motherboard on the left, the speaker plug would cover the 4 orange pins on the top right of all those pins, with the positive lead (red) plugged in all the way to the left of the 4 orange pins. You can see the last orange pin to the left has a cross at the bottom to signal a positive connection. And all the black plugs there in the bottom picture are labeled with a + or -

It`s a piece of cake, Vanilla cake

my main concern is if it will fit in the case properly before i go out and spend any more cash. because it is made for a different case and my pc has already thrown enough curve balls at me

well i managed to find this idk if it would work though Computer PC Host Case ATX Power Reset Switch Cable HDD LED Light | eBay

 

[fspsyco]

does anyone happen to know if that would work for the mobo i got?

 

[TVeblen]

Well the one you posted only has a reset switch - no power switch or connector.
The one Phone Man posted has a power switch also.

i still need a button that fits with mobo i cant do anything with out it

 

[fspsyco]

if you check out page 52 of this manual its shows the connecters i need

to save time i need 4 2 pins and 1 4 pin to go to a single button and a led

And the connectors in the 3rd photo in post #23 are the connectors you need from your case.

Same size as power button connector but hole on wrong side

If you have a connector that is the same size and shape as the newer power/reset/HD light connector from cases, but the blocked hole is on the opposite side then it is a front case USB connector.
You need to find the connector from the case that has the same pin blocked as the one on your motherboard, the ones with the opposite pin blocked but same size and shape are the USB connectors from the front case that plug into the USB connectors on the motherboard.
