Hey guys.I'm a noob here and plus,this is my first build.My case is a Phanteks P400s and my power supply is a Seasonic 620W fully modular.Where should i connect the "12v input"? and does this connector powers up the front panel including the fan controller and the RGB light underneath?

12V input, a connector on the M12II 620W?

Could you give us a picture (or a physical description) of this connector? It might be the CPU connector (if it has 8 pins and breaks into 4 and 4, it's definitely the CPU connector).

 

Also I commend you on your good PSU choice :)

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Hey there, if its a single 12v input and has a 24pin at the end it goes to the M / B (can go to either top or bottom of the PSU)

 

If its a CPU power than on the bottom left of the m / b There should be CPU and sata, plug those in there.

 

nvm misread..

If you are talking about this sata connector here it would be for powering the LED's on the case:

YES! thats the connector. Should I connect it to the power supply's SATA connector?
