    Ok I just bought an AZZA Solano 1000 Case, got everything hooked up and then there was this front panel connector cable along with the reset/power/leds/etc. which was 4 pin with vcc, +, -, and Ground and I have no clue where it goes and what it is used for. Everything works, my system has been up and running for 2 days but it just bugs the heck out of me. What is this cable for? I couldn't find an open 4 pin on my motherboard anywhere where it could even go once everything was plugged in.
    For reference, I'm using a GigaByte GA-MA-785G-UD3H

    Any1 know what this pin is for, and if it is needed?

    Can't be, the case came with a small speaker on a 4 pin... I'm at a loss at what its for... I know I shouldn't really care so long as everything is up and working, but its bugging me...

    nope... all the lights/power/reset/USB/audio/mic/eSata all working... theres nothing else on the front panel so I have no clue why theres another 4 pin...
    unless... I'll look it up but maybe the power button is suppose to be lit... as mine is not.. would annoy the crap out of me if thats the case... barely got all my wires hidden behind the mobo tray, and some wires had to go through the case as they were too short...(CPU and main mobo power)

    power led would use a 2 pin header or 3 pin header not 4 pin.
