Hey rogers!

now that im finaly done with my system i would like to know if its possible to solder the man conectors and the front panel conectors on the back of the motherboard istead of bringing cables to the front. Im using a maximus v extreme mobo.

i would also like to know what ssd to buy im thinking about ocz but i dont know what between vertex 3 or 4...

further questions will come as soon as i proceed when im done with the case new setup (corsair 650D)
to get an idea for what im about to build check out the Pink Project case mod. (sorry didnt find the link. google it 😛 )

I'm not sure I understand. Are you asking if you can cut a hole in the mobo tray and physically solder the wires to the back of the board? I guess you could as I've seen someone move the 24 pin connector to the back but it ain't easy and with what you're asking it doesn't sound like you're planning to use a connector which means your board will be semi-permanently wired into your case.

I would say don't solder the mobo... unless you're really knowing what you're doing...

If SSD, then Samsung 830 or 840...

I think he wants to solder all his connectors to the back of the board instead of connecting anything at the front. It is possible like Xeromist said but why would you risk damaging a $370 motherboard just to make it look "neater" with no cables in the front? lol

Gonna be a pain in the ass for you if you decide to swap PSU or when you're going to do some cleaning because everything will be attached to your motherboard permanently. In a worst case scenario, one of the cables breaks of the soldering point or rubs another point and fries your motherboard taking down everything connected to it. lol :rolleyes:
