Chieftec Dragon I bought m/b Asus P8H67M LE and installed into this case. All is working fine, front panel with USB but I can't figure out how to connect front panel LED for on & HDD activity on this MB. I tried possible combinations but LED won't light up. Why? Is there some documentation which wire is for which purpose? Thanks.

You might need the drivers, it's an odd case if they worked before.


Another possibility is the jumper header fell off the motherboard while you were moving it, this is most likely the case.

I hope this helps.

Check the heat sink / fan ASAP. The tempature is extremely high and may cause a critical hardware failure. You may even need to replace the CPU fan.

Hello there,


Below is an image of *********** Board with number indication and wiring explanation. From your manual page 1-6 you can see the image below and 1-7 for the connector, jumpers, slots. as indicated in your problem I will only answer problems related to the wirings.

• For the Front Panel

1. There are 8 wires from the front panel's casing, excluding USB connectors and front audio cable.

2. Just plug the front panel switch headers to the F_Panel main board connectors. 1 & 2 are positive, if the led do not light change polarity but Im sure it will.

Note:The mainboard provides a front panel connector for electrical connection to the front panel switches and LEDs. JFP1 is compliant with Intel® Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design Guide.

• For the USB connectors

1. If your casing has a USB header on the front bezel you can put it on any connector. You can also purchase a USB module cable or an internal card reader and plug the headers to any of those connectors.


Note: Observe Polarity, do this Vcc, -Data, +Data, Gnd ,(NC) ground is always near to NC.

Plug it at your own risk, reference image are already shown.

• Front Panel Audio connectors

1. Look for FP_Audio header from your casing and plug it to the connector.

*Asus recommend you connect a high definition front panel audio module to this connector to avail of the motherboard's high-definition audio capability.



Hopefully this information helps.


Thank you for using FixYa.

To me it sounds like you to not have the motherboard grounded to the case correctly.



I know this is not the same case you have but it is very important to ground the motherboard inside the case.

Hope this helps.

Why are you blowing a 15 amp fuse or why is your machine drawing so much current?
1:The fuse is blowing because you are drawing enough current to blow it.
2: Your computer, no matter what make or model should not be drawing that much current, your wall outlet is typically 15 amps.
Your power supply is most likely the culprit and may have damaged other components of your machine i.e the motherboard.
Disconnect the computer from the outlet, open it up and inspect it for burn marks, sniff for odd burnt smells.
I think you need a new power supply at the very least and maybe more.

Hi friend i think this is an issue related to software and this will be solved. This may happens when the computer is running on full load i.e ram capacity is low when compared to your computer OR your pc might have some errors use Registry booster program to solve this.
