Are you talking about the wiring for the front bay connectors? They are all grouped together accordingly so you should be able to check the case manual to see what each is for and then cross reference that with your motherboard manual to know what connectors on the board to attach them to.

OK I see there are 2 USB headers on my motherboard. Do I have to ground any wires or anything?

Your motherboard has 4pin connectors! Those are compatible with 3 OR 4 pin fans which is great! You'll be able to plug them into the slots labelled CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, SYS_FAN1, SYS_FAN2, SYS_FAN3, on your mobo :)

Mine works fine with my Asus MaximusVI, Maybe you have a bad processor or mobo.

Either the fan is broken (easily replaceable), or its a problem with your motherboard, try connecting the top fans to a different connector on your motherboard, if that doesn't fix it, I'd just replace the fan, or get the box replaced.

Here is exactly what I suggest.Call Corsair yourself and talk with Tech Support.That is what I did when mine arrived.They are pretty nice and I would think they will know what you can and cannot do in regards to hooking it up.If I knew I would tell you but I do-not want to guess.If you go back to my lengthy Post on reviews you will see that I had the Geek Squad come and hook mine up.It had no sound and we could not figure out why.The Geek Squad guy did finally figure it out.Terry

try using rubber washers behind the mother board threaded through the backplate, its a little tricky to tighen it but i was able to drop a few celcius you might get better luck, try reapplying thermal paste or getting a 212 evo, you could also try organizing the cables for better case airflow

I plugged about three fans into one cord And plug that into the power on the motherboard. And did that for the rest. But it depends on your motherboard having enough to plug it into

I would have to agree with the other answer and would not use a different wire unless you know for certain it is compatible. The best way is to check corsair website and see if they have the compatible wire.

Yes I have the same problem and have no idea how to solve it. Recommendation on ASUS site is useless.

I just installed these in a fresh PC build, it is not inherently compatible according to the ASUS list for this Mother Board. It doesn't time properly, however I heard if you can get into bios you can force the timing to 9-9-9-29 and it should work. Problem with a new PC is it wont load bios if ram check doesn't pass. I would recommend a different ram for the z79-a boards.

With theZ97 xxx Motherboard you have to Add at I/O card in one Slot go to ASUS web Site for more information

I am not sure what sabertooth refers too. The old intel X58 SO extreme board was working but it needs the chipset heatsink mount and fan asmby

I don't know about your board, but I have an asus board, and it did NOT work.

If WiFi is not working, make sure you have updated your z87 drivers. In some cases, you can't even use your Ethernet port without updating mobo drivers. I would call Asus if issues persists after getting updated drivers. You might have to download the drivers onto an external in order to apply them if you're unable to connect to the internet. I am able to detect my Wireless networks with 3 bars, except my router is 4 feet away. So definitely attach the antenna that came along with it.

Unfortunately I don't know. This particular mobo came DOA and I ended up going with an ASUS.

If your talking about the 4 pin molex connectors they attach to your power supply. A suggestion get rid of the stock fans they don't move very much air
