Speaker plug & temp monitoring freeware

Hey all,

now that I've got my C2D system up and running I am worrying about the little things. While my tower has audio plugs on the front and plugs on the back (mobo connections) I dont have my external speakers yet. So in the meantime I want to use the spear built in to the case, and I can see the wire coming from it, its labelled "speaker" on the plug, but I'll be damned if I can find a place to plug it in on the mobo. Could anyone give me a hand? This is the exact board I have.

Also, I am looking for a good freeware program that I can use to monitor the heat of my CPU/GPU/RAM, and maybe control fan speed. Any suggestions? I am not against a bit, but it would be nice if it was less than $25.

Thanks!
 
The system speaker is usually capable of faithfully reproducing an occasional beep sound, and not much else. They are not high-quality speakers. It should plug into a set of jumpers on the motherboard in the same area as your power switch, front panel LEDs, etc.
 
Hi, It's not so much that the Case Speaker is small and of poor quality, the amplifier is one transistor sending a square wave to the speaker. Only good enough to make a noise. It can be programed to make different beeps, but it's not worth the trouble.
