I didn't start my build today as planned so I just checked my board and there is no power led on the board itself. it means the led on your case. hold on you mean the physical pins are missing? I'm just checking to make sure your pins are all there. your board is fine...
I couldn't see the start button, they've changed the colour from red to silver... yes your fine to just use the start button....

Well I think I still might still have the connectors from the case wrong so I'll switch those around but the start button did work as you can see...also got it to post fine and the ram is running a 3000mhz without the bios update which I thought was a little odd.

hopefully there's nothing wrong with the case cables...

If you're asking me if the Motherboard has the connection for it...it does... the pic of the manual in my other post is from the mobo...but the case doesn't have that connector.

Correction... ram is running at 2133mhz my bad.

I tried turning the reset and pwrbtn connector and still not turning on with the case power button... I'm calling nzxt before I try taking out the mobo and placing it on its box to make sure it's not grounded like someone suggested.

The power switch is a momentary switch. You can make the connection by touching those two pins carefully with a flat screwdriver. If the board starts using that method then the case switch is bad

EDIT- the reset switch is usually the same style. As an alternative, you could use the reset switch to start the PC by plugging it on the power switch pins on your board

well ive started with my build today, I'm going to use the am3 backing plate and bracket on the water 3.0 but ive also just ordered corsairs new bracket.
the cooling companies have made their blocks a standard shape so the brackets are mostly interchangeable. still a hassle though. :toast:

I've been going back and forth with nzxt and they think it's a faulty switch so they're sending a new one.
