Does anybody have the Angelica m3970am motherboard manual??? trying to setup my power supply and case connectors but can't seem to figure it out because I is a retar when it comes to computers.

OK.

For the front panel connections check the following third-party forum thread.

The socket AMb is actually an AM3+

See the following diagram that is attached for the PSU connections.

Unfortunately, the HP provided diagram is not high enough resolution for me to see it easily.

There should be labels that say USB_1 and USB_2 on the edge of the motherboard below the RTC (BIOS) battery.

Alright thanks so i only have the 3 out of 4 front panel connectors. the hdd activity light, reset switch and power switch all connected now but no message/power/ sleep connector just USB connector, that I can't seem to find the place to put it in. Also this is the case I'm using the motherboard may be too out dated for the case what do u think?

I Appreciate the help

The motherboard isn't too outdated for the case.

The problem is that Rosewill. the manufacturer of the case, did not bother including the pinouts for the front panel in the manual.

Look for an AC97 or HDAudio label on the board for the motherboard's onboard audio. You can use either the AC97 or HD Connector for sound, depending on which one the motherboard has  It probably has AC97 as it is an older specification mobo.

You won't be able to use the USB 3.0 connectors as the motherboard does not have that capability.

My preference has always been Corsair or CoolerMaster PC cases for my builds. Both of those brands have a higher standard of  build quality and documentation.

Thanks alot man I've learned quite a bit already. Still got one more question about the power supply there still 3 wires not connected a p10 6 pin connector, p10 2 pin connector and a black p3 4 pin connector just wondering if they are important.

If there are labels on the connectors, I may be able to help you, otherwise not.

The PSU  connections I already pointed out in the image are required.  The only other connectors that need to be used are for the SATA hard disk drive, Optical disk and SATA disk power connectors.

I will have to edit this in a bit while I look at your PC's specs again. Done! What I stated above is accurate. Are you using the original PSU? A six-pin connector could easily be for a video card. The video card I use in the desktop I am typing this on require a six-pin PCIe power connector.

For the future, always use your mobile phone to take photos while disassembling a PC , make a drawing of the connections with labels or use tape and write what they connect to.  Even aircraft technicians have to do that do that.

Doing that reduces the confusion factor when reassembling the PC. 🙂

Will do man thanks again

Hmmm I already have a p11 6 pin connectors attached to my video card

[Leroijenkin]

And yea I am using the original psu

Did you make the four-pin CPU power connection to the motherboard as I showed in the image?
