Nothing real major(at least I hope not), but my EVGA P67 FTW that I received has hook ups for the front panel etc. Well, my HDD LED, PWR SW, and my RESET SW pins hook up good because they are all 2 pin connectors and that is what the board has. The PWR LED on the other hand is a 3 pin on mine and there is no spot for a 3 pin connector. What do I do? Is it as simple as getting a new power LED and hooking it up or will I just have to run w/o one?

Thanks in advance for any help I receive.

Whenever I've run into this the wires were connected the outside two holes on the plug and the middle one did nothing. If that's the case and you're pretty sporty with a dremel, use a very thin cutting wheel on low speed and cut that connector in two, making two separate female plugs. I held it with needle nose vice grips to do it, but you have to be pretty careful.
 
Okay. If no other options I will no that. But does anybody sell power LED? I would like a white one to replace my blue one.

Edit: I am just gonna split it into 2 connectors. I am also going to change it over to a white LED for aesthetics. Anyhow, is 5mm the standard led size for the power button? If not how can I measure it to be sure?

Edit: I measures it. It is a 5mm LED. Now I just need to purchase a white one and solder it on!! Thanks guys. And I split the connectors with an exacto knife. Came out great.
