I assume it's from the case

case probably has 1-2 on the front panel

they make cheap adapters if you don't have one on your motherboard natively

yeah it's from the case

it'll look like this on your motherboard

but if it doesn't exist

they make these adapters

yeah I see something that says usb3_34

and those plug into these

is that where this goes?

or is that where this goes

yep, that one in your hand rn

that's a USB 3.0 Type-A

okay

that goes in the USB3_34

oh I got it

I had it flipped the wrong way I think

now what about the other one

is that just extra since this is 3.0 and not 3.1?

do you know your motherboard model? or can you send a picture of the ports remaining

I suspect you don't have a 3.1 plug spot

let me see

it says

M5A99FX PRO R2.0

if that matters to you, there are ways of adding a plug spot for it but imo, I don't think it's the most important thing

so it's extra

got it

ok, this is an older board, yeah it's just extra

I don't think it's worth trying to connect it means the USB-C ports on the front of your case won't work

but I don't think that's a huge deal

yeah

this is what the rest of it looks like

aw fuck I just remembered the last time I tried to run this the audio wasn't working

where is that and how do I make sure that it works

that is either front panel or the back

yeah I plugged my headphones into it and it wasn't working

which one?

that's a software thing Bob

ah right

wait sorry, I skipped a step

if the front headphones weren't working

that's going to be a small cable that you have to plug into your MB

like 2 years ago I think. but then it didn't have a case and we had to use the iron maiden bullshit from 1990

that one didn't have a front headphones

so maybe that was the problem

because then that means the back headphones weren't working

nono, ok yeah

if it's just the back headphone jack

then you just need to update the software

from within windows

oh alright

what software would that be for future reference

oh look

I found it

the fabled front headphone

this is where you get the software from for the back audio ports

okay cheers

scroll down, it'll all be there

can you pin that so I can use it for later

I can't, but someone else can

now let's say hypothetically I have an ssd

where does that go

is it a SATA SSD (little box shape) or a m.2 SSD (stick of gum shape)

that's your MB manual btw

if it's a SATA SSD that looks like

then you plug it into your power supply and into port 7 on that diagram

the plugs are both L shaped

if it's an m.2 SSD, you'll need an adapter

it's the former yea

so it goes into port seven on that diagram

okay got it

there will be a bunch of SATA ports
