Hi everyone,

 

So yesterday I started to build my first desktop computer ever. Here are the specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212 EVO
MotherBoard: MSI Z97 Gaming5
Memory: Kingston HyperX Beast 1600 (2x4Go)
GPU: Asus Strix GTX970
Case: Cooler Master Storm Trooper
Power Supply: Seasonic 620W
HDD: WD Blue 1To
SSD:  Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 240Go

 

Or with a nice picture:

So, after I finished to build the computer, no problem, it worked... or did it? The front panel indicators (for fan speed, LED, etc.) don't work:

The USB/Audio/Micro work fine, and so is the power button. But the leds don't, and neither is the fan controller.

 

So for the led I checked and checked again in the user manual and can't see what I did wrong but whatever. I still have a few connectors that I don't know where to connect them. Here there are: http://imgur.com/a/ms66v (link to the pictures)

 

I really don't know how I need to connect them... In the manual it's only written:

And here is my motherboard:

Any help? Thanks a lot! :)

Make sure you have the pins for the LEDs hooked up to the right polarity (and the right position) on the motherboard.
