Where do I connect the pwm cable? it's hooked to a hub with about 6 fans connected to it, the big 4 pin connection is done but it also has a small PWM cable that needs to connect to something.

Into a pwm fan header on your mobo. Depending on your mobo they might all be pwm, or only the cpufan1 and possible a cpufan2

so any cpu fan connection will work?

Should I take my main cpu cooler and connect it to its own slot on mobo or will it be fine in the giant hub.

If your system fan headers are pwm modulated I would use one of those

If your sysfan headers are not pwm but you have a cpufan2, connect it there

I'd try to keep the cpu cooler in cpufan1 if I could, but it would be okay to put it into the hub and connect the hub to cpufan1

All connected, now i gotta wait for my uhhhhh windows to "magically" appear on my HDD so I can make a bootable USB to make sure all is working properly.

What's everyone's opinions on the windows 10 upgrade? I am so used to 7 and not sure on some of the things I have been hearing.

In my opinion, Windows 10 is just as good as Windows 7 for gaming. It's not the nightmare it was before like 8 and 8.1

There's others that will disagree but with the 1511 update, they fixed a lot of bugs in Windows directly related to gaming.

I haven't looked into it much, what's up with the "keylogger" thing everyone is freaking about?
