    hooking up front USB ports

    On my gigabyte GA-K8VM800M (rev 2) for the front USB ports it shows a box with ten pins but
    1. theres 2 sets of ten pins that have frnt USB 1 and 2
    2. for the pin definition it has Pin No. definition
    1 Power
    2 Power
    3 USB DX-
    4 USB Dy-
    5 USB DX+
    6 USB Dy+
    7 GND
    8 GND
    9 No Pin
    10 NC
    3.On my USB connections it has 4 plugs for each port USB 1and 2 with this on the seperate plugs VCC 1
    Data+1
    Data-1
    GRD 1
    Now I'am assuming that I plug VCC 1 onto plug Frnt USB 1 Power 1 and VCC 2 plugs onto Frnt USB 2 Power 2 ???
    But after that I'am not really sure how the rest of the plugs would be plugged into

    What is the make and model of the case?

    Most cases just have a single plug for each front USB. I can see the board:

    But it would help to see what the case is offering in the way of plugs.

    Its a case i ordered from xoxide which they don't make anymore. but what it is is that theres a single cable for each front of case USB plug and out of the cable are the 4 individual plugs and my thinking is that from the cable plug Data+1 would plug onto DX + for the simple fact that X comes before Y which would make it 1 and therefore that Data+1 and DX+ mean the same thing and I think that using this logic that it will work when I plug it in what would be the worst case senario
    A. would the USB plug just not work or
    B.would there be a pretty display of sparks or
    C. that it would destroy whatever i plugged into said USB plug or
    D. the USB plug actually works

    What would be the worst case scenario?

    A. the USB plug will just not work.


    Any chance that you see the case here?
