    The power motherboard connectors: It doesn't matter which way you plug in the power and reset switch headers they will work either way. The LEDs however if plugged in the wrong way won't light up but this won't destroy the LEDs. If there is no lights when you power on your PC just switch it off and plug them in the other way and they will be fine.
    And don't daisy chain more than 4 fans to one motherboard fan header as there won't be enough voltage.

    genuine question, I have a ryzen 5 3500 and 1650 super but i am upgrading and having a hard time figuring out to what yet. I thought about it and saw some bench marks on the 4070 and ryzen 5 5600x (was also thinking about the 5800X3D) they were pretty good, but i also saw a combo for ryzen 7 7700x with a motherboard and wifi for around 500 but I don't have the ddr5 ram. If I were to get the combo I am going to pair it with the 6800. Should I stick with the old AM4 platform or go to the new AM5 platfom.

    Thanks for that! Very helpful. Got a question though. My m/b has a "PD_PWR" connector which connects to a 6 pin (well 8 pin with two pins at one end blocked off) "PCIE/CPU" connector on the PS. What is this used for? This is an MSI m/b and Corsair PS. Maybe PD stands for "power distribution", maybe? Thanks!
