Just built my first PC so still have some silly questions. After installing my CPU cooler, I still have some open wires unplugged from the power cable. Not sure where they would be plugged in and its like 4 open plug-ins. Any suggestions would be super helpful, thanks!

 For the fans?

Plug those into the fan header on the motherboard.

No there is only one fan header and then a power plug. On the same wire of the power there are 4 more plug ins in a row that I cant figure out where to plug in.

could you post a picture?

The Kraken X61 has 1 fan header for each fan and one for the pump.

Also features an internal USB 2.0 Conector that plugs into the motherboard for software control (CAM software)

 

You have to plug it on the USB

The motherboard headers support 2x USB ports, or one double USB port.

Plug it there (check the pins) half of the header is only used

These are the wires

Those are fan headers. If you connect two fans to the first two headers, what do you assume goes in the other two? Fans? Yes, fans. I.E. if you're doing push/ pull.

If you don't have enough fan headers on your motherboard you can get a splitter which is really cheap.

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.
