This article answers the question right on! I was at a stand still on completing a build because of this 3 pin to two pin dilema. I’ve built many systems and just now came across this using a thermaltake case.
Now all is good….
Thanks!

Been working on computer hardware for over 20 years…and never knew this. My shame is mixed with gratitude – thanks for the help!

@catu: Yeah, easiest is probably find a old case wiring and steal its 3 hole connector.

Great job , but how about the reverse case , when you have a 2 pin PLED mother connector and you need to place it on the specific 3 pin socket on the MB (in fact it is really 1st pin – space – 3d pin , the one in the middle is a fake).
I guess I have to do what Derek Seabrooke did

@Wolfinho: If you’ve read my entire post, you would’ve known that was the final conclusion I reached.

If the Power LED connectors sit at the edge, just tear off the wire from the third socket and put it into the second. That’s a 10 second fix which worked for me! 😉

Great tip! It worked the very first time and no more searching for 20 year box stuff. 🙂
