Hey Guys, so i have a case mod Powermac G5 with original Front panel, i used to be have a old Asus 775 socket in this machine, the front panel always working very nice with this motherboard. So i decided make a upgrade and i bought a Gigabyte H170M-D3H DDR3. I placed the Power and Power Led cables in the Front Panel, but the power led is on at all times even with the computer off. I followed the topics below to try to solve the problem but nothing worked:

Hi,

I have successfully solved this with two different motherboards with a simple trick.

Connect the power led cable to the HDD pin!

First thing. There are 3 wires from the power and led button. One common ground and on each for power button and led.
Do not split the ground in 2 wires to fit with the motherboard pin out. If you connect if backwards it will short circuit!
Take the ground and power button to the pins on the motherboard for this.
Take the remaining led wire to the active HDD pin (not the ground pin).

For me this worked. It stays lit when power is on and out when power is off. (it does not blink with the HDD activity, this is controlled by the HDD ground pin that we are not using)

Hope this works also on your MB
