Need help evga 680 install

[AbdoulTheGreat]

Hi,

I haven't built a computer in like 4 years. So I took my time building this thing yesterday. I got everything plugged in except 2 things.

- I can't find the case speaker connector on the motherboard. There is no info in the book. Anyone can tell me where it's located?

- Also I have a thermaltake armor case and theres this button on the side panel that has a connector. It's called SW micro or something like that. What is this for and where do I plug that connector?

Thx alot!

Check the manufacturer's sites for answers to both of your questions. What's the make and model of your motherboard? Got a link to Thermaltake case model?

This is the motherboard http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=122-CK-NF68-AR
This is the case http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Chassis/fulltower/armor/va8000bws.asp


I tried to look the the info on the sites but couldnt find it and it's not in the books that came with it.

The front panel connector for your motherboard is shown on p. 21 of the manual. It's a 4 MB download, and their server is slow.

On most motherboards, the speaker connection is grouped with the rest of the front panel connections, but that doesn't appear to be so for this board. The speaker connector is mentioned on p. 26, but I didn't see it specified in any diagram.

E-mail their tech support for more info. Your board has an onboard speaker so you can probably get along without it until you hear from them.

It's impossible to tell you what the connector on your case is for without knowing the label. If your case didn't include a manual, check Thermaltake's site for info, or write their tech support people for info.

Well, if the card has an onboard speaker what's the point of connecting the case one? I guess I'll just go without.

Would the micro switch be for the case intrusion alarm system or whatever it is called. It is supposed to let you know if somebody has opened your case. Some motherboards support this feature.

Ah thats probly it raanemaan! It's a little button on the side panel so it would make perfect sense. Ok, I just won't plug that.
So... I guess I'm done, lol

Those aren't alarms, they shut the system down if you open the side of the computer up. I had one in my Thermaltake Xaser III V2000A and I promptly removed it . It's useless, especially when you want to visually monitor the fans.
