Recently got an Antec SX835II case and putting a Biostar M7VKQ mobo in it. The pin outs for power, reset, etc. are confusing for this newbie. Antec case connectors instructions say that the labeled connectors should face the front of the case once connected. However, the mobo pin out instructions use the (+) and (-) labels for each. If I put the connectors on with label toward front of case, the + and - wires would be reversed. Has anyone used this combination of case and mobo? Or should I just connect according to mobo info? Thanx for your help in advance....

I don't have the M7VKQ, but I installed an M7VIG in an SX835II last night.

For the M7VIG, the SX835II connectors on the row of pins closest to the front of the case are oriented so their labels face towards the front of the case, and the connectors on the row of pins closest to the rear of the case are oriented so their labels face towards the rear of the case. In otherwords, all the labels face out from the center of the motherboard connector.

BTW - I was really impressed with how smooth the install of the M7VIG was. What a great little board for $60!

Thanx YRLSEngr!!! for the quick reply...I'll give that configuration a try this weekend. I found out that the panel connector for your mobo is the same as mine so it should work OK. How about your front USB header pins? ..I fried the front USB header on my ECS K7S5A from a wrong config so I'm a little anxious about the USB for this M7VKQ. However, everything else seemed to work OK on that ECS mobo. Any other tips or settings you have would be appreciated as well.....
