So I am almost done rebuilding my PC from a mobo swap. What idk is if I can fry or explode the PC if I plug a cable in the wrong mini-pin slot of my front header mobo. Thanks to anyone who can help. Its just that with the labeling, it is a bit confusing. I just really don't want to fry or explode anything.

PS: hopefully you know the headet on the board I'm talking about.

the worst thing to happen would be something not working. The mini headers take voltage from the motherboard. There is no real danger.

Just to be sure, you meant "if" right?

the worst that can happen is the leds not lighting up and the PC not booting(nothing bad, the switch just wont work)

orientation doesent matter for reset or pwr switch, as long as theyre connected to the right header. the led connections have to be oriented right tho.

But yeah, its harmless

it wont fry or explode.

 

there are many times I've put in the wrong front header and it still works after switching it with the right one.

Live your life like a dream.
