    Hello.

    I would like to make sure that I understand the MSI Z270 Tomahawk motherboard manual (front panel connection). Below is a screen of the manual. Have I numbered the pins in the right way - how do I understand I should connect the front panel (red)?

    you could also number it like this:

    2 3 6 7 10
    1 4 5 8 9

    but it's probably incorrect connection.

    OK thanks. So the way in which I wrote the pins in the picture is the most correct?

    Yes. Remember to connect the LED plugs properly because they will not glow.
    If you connect the other way round, nothing will happen, you just have to improve.
    Reset and Power doesn't matter.

    I have one more question. I don't quite know how to connect the fans. I mean, which sockets to use so that the cables in the housing make sense. I want to do something like this in the housing:

    The distribution of fan sockets is as follows:

    I mean mainly additional fans. I have cooling under CPU_FAN procka processor.

    Put the cables down, they will not interfere with anything and disturb the air flow (we are talking about the fans at the front of the case).
    Connect to SYS_FAN2 and SYS_FAN3

    Added after 2 [minutes]:

    Connect the exhaust air fan on the back of the case under SYS_FAN1

    Oki, and where to connect this fan on the TOP - also extracting warm air? Under SYS_FAN4?

    You can. Try not to let the cables hang loose like a spider's web, but to keep them as close to the board as possible.
    Then there is order and they do not disturb the air circulation in the housing.
