Where do I put these cables

[Wrench_016]

 

I have a b450 steel legend and hVe 2 questions, my case is the 465x rgb and I don’t know where to put the reset and power sw cables and power led + and -.

i also am wondering if routing this cable through here is ok and how good is the cable management currently at the front, any tips?

The fastest way to figure out where to plug these cables in would be to consult your MOBO manual. Also on the board itself they are amrked but the writing is extremely small so it might be hard to ead when the board is already screwed in. 

 

As long as you don't pinch any of you cables or bend your MOBO the cable management is up to you liking. The one from the pics looks fine to me.

Yes that is what you should do. Also your RAM looks like it is in the wrong slots. They both need to move one to the right to take advantage of dual channel. your cable management looks fine. As long as there are no massive bends in the cables then it should be fine

For example:

This is the part which tells you which cable goes where (for the front panel connectors) on your mobo. The wires should be labelled so plug them in to the corresponding pins on the motherboard.

This should be where they plug into. just double check on your motherboards manual though.

Thx, I didn’t realise dual channel had to be  2 and 4, my mistake

What way round does the writing go tho for the wires, and does the side with the arrow on it go into pwrbtn and the side without gnd?

As long as the pwr and hdd led + and - are plugged into the corresponding + and - connectors and all the others are in the right ones, the orientation shouldnt really matter but I would recommend put the writing facing the bottom of the board.
