A bit of good advice please...

Hello,

I need some help connecting my motherboard to the front panel USB slots on the case.

My motherboard is: Gigabyte Intel B460 D3H Micro-ATX Motherboard (Revision 1.0). The manual for the motherboard is: https://www.gigabyte.com/uk/Motherboard/B460M-D3H-rev-10/support#support-manual

My case is: the Corsair Carbide 100R. The manual for the case can be found at: https://www.corsair.com/corsairmedia/sys_master/productcontent/WW_100R_QSG_AB.pdf

Is that enough information?

Thanks in advance,
Richard Lindley

In most cases, the PC case comes with the front panel & USB cables pre-installed.
Your case should have at least one USB 3 slot, so one of the cases cables will look something like this:
Product | StarTech.com 2 Port Panel Mount USB 3.0 Cable - USB A to  Motherboard Header Cable F/F (USB3SPNLAFHD) - USB internal to external  cable - USB Type A to 20 pin IDC - 1.6 ft


Make sure to connect it to the mobo slot that looks like this:
Lenovo Community

This will connect your USB slots outside the case to your motherboard.
