Is there something Im doing wrong?

[roy12]

I have no idea why there are so many open plugs, which ones should I plug in?

[Enderman]

None of those.

If you don't know what a sata port is you might want to watch a "how to build a pc" beginner video on youtube.

They are on the side of the motherboard.

Also, you probably want to plug in your USB 3.0 Connector if your Case supports it. It is the Connector to the left of the two USB 2.0 Connectors.

The open plugs are explained in your motherboard owner's manual.  May want to give it a read.

In your case @roy12 the SATA Ports are the rightangle ones next to the Heatsink of your Chipset.

Also got that plugged in. There is 2 of them on my mobo, so I pligged it in on the right side of my mobo instead of bottom.

no, if you dont have the cables, you dont need it

really you dont need anything on there more than the power front panel for the power connector and even then you can turn the pc on with anything metal by shorting the power switch pins

 

chances are you'll never use a serial port, unless you have RGB lights you wont need the rgb headers, if you have a crypto key you can use TPM but its not needed, if you need an AIO pump header because you run out of headers up top, use the one on the bottom, usb 3.1 is nice, but for most stuff its not really needed, if you have it you should plug it in anyway, most cases made in the last few years have it, if youre not using that extra fan, you dont need that fan header

its not like having stuff left unused means the PC wont work

 

the only things ive got plugged into my motherboard are 24 pin, 4 pin, the power switch and two sata cables

everything else is left unplugged since i dont use it, even my fans are just connected to a fan hub on the back

i presume thats just the little usb cable for the software interaction for that cooler

its not a necessity, if you have another usb 2.0 header on the board, use that.

if you dont, you dont really need it

Well you don't need to plug stuff into all of them...

they're there for different IO that cases have.

If you intend to use your AiO Software to control it, but don't have enough USB Headers on your Mainboard, you have to buy a little internal USB Hub.
