Yeah its a bit confuseing with your amount of pics. Rear exhaust then goes to SysFan1. Casefans goes to sysfan headers. The connection with the h100 is fine. There is a notch on the connetor so it will only fit facing left from your ram slots. The fans on the radiator goes the 3pin connectors comming from the pump. While the usb 2 header from the pump goes to "usb panel" left hand side from the front i/o on the bottom of the board.

 oh lol sorry about that

thanks a lot ! installed all the fans, but what usb are u talking about? (i guess its related to the pump but didnt get there yet)

 

last things:

the top cables from my case? how do i connect them to where?

 

and what cables should be connected to the psu? (for motherboard, 1 gpu, ssd and hard drive and for the led of the cooling)

 

thanks !

Here's the full circuit. Top cables from the case? I quess you mean the power button and such.

 

Power button -> pw sw

Reset button -> rw sw

Power led -> pled +/pled-

Hdd activity led -> hdd+/hdd-

Front audio jack -> faudio or hdaudio or ac97

 

This is the usb cable from the pump. The right last cable coming with h100i

 

For the gpu 2 pieces of 6+1 pcie connectors from the psu

For hdd and ssd 2 pieces of s-ata power connectors

i actually talked about those: http://postimg.org/image/vneq6fy1b/

i cant find a place to use them

This is the fancontroller from the case itself. You can leave them unused as its better to let your fans spin up from the mainboard software.

and if i want them to be controlled from case is it hard to connect? i want all the buttons to work (idk why but thats important a bit to me)

[c3p0_]

You would use the big connector and connect it to the psu output and the 3 connectors would be connected to the fans instead of useing the sysfan connectors from the mainboard.

perfect ! thanks, i connected all the cables, only got to connect the sata(or data idk the name) to the motherboard or psu and to the hard disks and the cooler and itll run( the pc) ?

Yes, it should run then. Are there any cables left? For the sata, they only can go in one way, but sometimes it needs just a little bit of force. I had my PC not boot, because the Sata Power not plugged in all the way.

Totally ok. You could even use a separate sata cable for each device. Is the pump and the cpu cooler fans running?

idk, i didnt turn it on because the sata express got no cables in it and in every tutorial ive seen (of linus) he used sata cables ( and i got 4 - 2 types)

how do i connect them?

and ofc i need to connect the gpu but its easy as pie

How many drives do you have? You don't need the sata express.

 

 

It looks like you have a SSD and a HDD. For now, plug both Sata cables in, but only connect power to the SSD. After installing windows, turn the PC off and plug in sata power to the HDD. For the SSD you want to use Sata0 and for the HDD Sata 1. (The order doesn't matter, but I just do that so it is more organized if I ever need to troubleshoot. )

if i got u right-

i connected to the sata 0 and 1 - 2 cables- 1 to the ssd (0) and one to the hdd (1)

from the psu i connected 1 sata (with 2 plugs) one plug to the ssd and one plug to the hdd but only the ssd one is connected?

ok, that one is just called sata. The data cable can be plugged into the HDD, but the power cable for the HDD should not be plugged in. When installing windows, it can happen that some stuff is installed to the HDD. To prevent this, the HDD power is unplugged, so the windows installation can't right any data to it. After the installation is done and you where in windows for the first time, you can then plug in the HDD power. 

 

Just want to make sure that you use the SSD for Windows. If that is taken care of, you should be able to boot for the first time. Before installing windows, you should go into the bios and watch the temp for a view minutes also to check if the cooler is working.
