Find the routing paths for the wires.
I just purchased the Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming paired with the NZXT H510 Elite case. I’m looking for someone to share a photo or detailed instructions about the cable connections, excluding the 24-pin ones.
Not to be overly curt, but go watch any of the half-million build guides on Youtube?
Sure, I also had the original version, though I'm not entirely clear on the connections or routing inside the enclosure.
I'm not sure about the exact layout, but it seems like there are 24 pin connectors involved.
The manual indicates the various socket locations. Both 8-pin connectors (EPS and PCie) feature distinct pin shapes, making it important to place them correctly—unless you resort to a Dremel and hammer. The 12V CPU/EPS slot is positioned in the upper left corner of your motherboard (the bottom right in your photo, between the two fans and white heatsinks). The 4-pin 12V connection beside it is only required for advanced overclocking; most users can safely overlook that. Power from the PCie connects to the graphics card, while SATA/Molex supplies drives and other components. The CPU fan connects to its corresponding header, and chassis fans link to their headers—choose the closest one to each fan. Each socket name is listed on the board, and the manual also includes a schematic. *edit* Tegneren shared a helpful image covering much of what I mentioned while writing this.

The connectors follow a common standard—they don’t depend on case type or motherboard. What changes are the overall number of connectors available and their placement on the motherboard. (Each case can vary in the number of ports and their positions.)
Connect the PCIe to the ATX12v_1 & 2, then plug in your components as needed.
