My first time building a system.... Almost done but I can't figure out where to plug my 4-pin audio cables. I have at least one optical drive that I'd like be able to get audio when playing DVDs/CDs, and I have a system monitor cable that will trigger an alarm if temps get too high. My past systems had a couple of 4 pin audio leads that the optical drives plugged into, but my Intel 965WH mobo (integrated audio) has 2 audio leads- a 10-pin "Front panel" lead and a 16-pin HD lead. I'm completely baffeld as to where to plug the cables in.

Here's a cap of the section of the mobo manual showing pin layout (pin 1 is on the left, pin 2 is on the right, pin 3 is on the left, pin 4 is on the right, etc). I don't have any HD audio devices, if that has any impact on where the cables go.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
