Hi guys help needed urgently!

I've picked up the P8P67 pro mobo for my friend a while ago and we are scratching our heads at how to actually get it on.

Here's my problem, we used an older Carr chassis for the board and everything fitted perfectly, nothing out of place until we got to the power switch connector, the problem is that I cannot find a suitable place for the power connector.

Now I'm not the most technical savvy guy, but the power switch connector in my case is one big connector, with 13 pins in total, it would be fourteen if you excluded the gap on the third line of pins from the top. I'll try and attach an image for you in a reply or edit to this thread,

However, does anyone know where this connectors goes?

Thanks all, and a reply is anxiously waited on!

 

Because of the flash, the gap may not be as visible, but it is the brightest part of the illuminated pin.

That board has a 24 pin power connector on the left side next to the RAM blocks. I don't think your old stuff is gonna work. You may need a new power supply.

That's unfortunate, well I'll let him know, thanks so much first of all

Arnt you referring to the switch connector from the button on the front of your actual PC tower case, that goes to your systemboard? (Nothing to do with the power supply)

 

The power supply > Motherboard connector is the biggest plug from the actual power supply, and will be MUCH bigger than this, but it sounds like your referring to the case power-on button > motherboard connection..

 

In newer Mobo's, these are just a small connector with 2 wires, which your case power-on switch shorts together. How many wires have you go going into that 13 pin plug?

 

That plug will have the power-on switch, reset switch, HDD LED, power LED etc, all grouped together, and they are laid out in the exact same configuration as that 13 pin block, meaning you can simply push that block connector onto the entire cluster of pins (Found at the bottom right hand side of most installeded boards, but do check where the cables from this connector go to, and the layout on the mobo which will be in its manual..

 

Some case's have lots of individual little connectors you have to slide onto the pins for power LED, HDD activity light and other bits etc, and some cases provide them all in a block like this, and the blanked out pin is so you get the orientation of the connector the right way round, thus preventing damage :-)

 

Again, this doesnt have anything to do with your power-supply from your photo and description..

 

Sorry superglide, dont want to tread on anybodies toes, but I do this for a living, still a bit new to it though, only been doing I.T for 20 years lol...

Hi!

Thanks so much for your reply, I figured the last reply was a bit off, and maybe I hadn't made myself clear enough, I managed to resolve the issue by literally sawing down the connector into individual pins that I successfully placed in their correct spots.

However I'm stuck here now with the p8p67 being unable to detect my HDD :S

Sigh.

Thanks so much for your time though! It's much appreciated.

Does it recognise the drive in the BIOS?

How many drives, 1 or 2?

Is the drive port enabled in the BIOS?

It's one drive, and I do have it enabled.

Strange thing is it worked in my test computer, but Ill have to pick up a new one tomorrow if I've the chance. Even more strange is that It showed up briefly for a second, and not to be seen again as yet, however, fingers crossed.

I'll get back to you on the new drive.

Thanks once more!
