Well done, should help quite a few people on this thread, let alone save them a lot of money.
Keep in mind when installing the peripherals, not all mobo's will have it so easily described, and you should read the user's manual for more in depth descriptions of which goes where. (hd led/rst_sw and such)

Very nice man.

/edit: did you buy these parts solely to do your guide?

/edit2: is this the "big thing" you were talking about on steam?


No, this is a pc i build for one of my family members. And no.. this isn't the big thing.. the big thing will be epic compared to this.

Every mobo that i've worked with so far (that is not oem) has had them label.. I've been thru probably 15-20+ mobos. I actually prefer to just read them off the board.. since half the time.. the manual has got typos or errors in it.

What brands you used? I've built about 8-9 and only 2 have been labeled well.

Well, I just used an ECS in a budget build for a friend, and it didn't have it well described on the mobo, neither did a gigabyte one that I used in another friends build. One was am2/am2+/am3 other was am2/am2+. I admit they were budget builds, but it's still rather inconvenient when you have to read both the mobo's manual and the case's manual to figure out how to place them lol.
