Hello! I just finished building my PC and installed windows 10 and looked at cpu temp etc and everything's good. Now I want to connect the front panel and case fans but Fractal doesn't really say anything about that in the manual. I connected the USB , HD Audio , Power LED but I can't figure out how to install the power button because it doesn't have the + and - signs. Another problem is the case fans , I connected a molex power to the fans but they don't work , do I need to connect them to the motherboard? Thanks in advance.

For the fans there is a control switch behind the front door in the upper left corner. The power button doesn't matter witch way you put it.

The orientation doesn't matter for the power button as it's just a switch.

As for the fans, are you using a molex to 3/4 pin adapter?

I'd recommend you plug them into the motherboard as you have now way of controlling their speed if they're straight into the PSU.

Hope this helps!

I still don't know where to put :/ On the manual there's PWRBTN and GND next to it , should I put them there?

Go to page 30, section 2.6.

Connect the front panel connector between PWRBTN# and GND.

Hope this helps.

So yes, do as you said earlier, using PWRBTN and GND :)

That worked! Thanks :) One last question , will this cable management work? I could reroute the CPU power to the back but I'd leave it like that for the time being , Any dangers from leaving it like that? http://i.imgur.com/65yk0go.jpg
