Do I need an appointment?
Today I bought all parts for a new PC, took it all home and built it...
There were a couple of case cables that I could not identify where they would attach to the MB.
I would like to bring it in tomorrow and have someone show me where they should go.
Would I need an appointment for that? Would they charge me for that?

Hello!
An appointment is not needed. An expert at the service desk / knowledge bar should be able to assist with answering questions about the case for you.
I was also able to find your order and found details about the case here: https://lian-li.com/product/lancool-iii/
The manual for the case is also available at the bottom of the page in the link above. Or here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kd9ku_raF2uXWeLD7voGfT4ZZ10XOizy/view
Page 4 in the case manual shows all the case cabling and can be matched up with the motherboard diagram from the motherboard manual here: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_b650-gx-v2_1102_e.pdf?v=340553b32095ecde9aa0874fc1860f10
If you can post a photo or match the cables in question up to ones shown in the case manual, I'd be happy to answer questions about them here as well.
I hope this helps!

That did help, thank you! I think I have everything connected to the MB properly now, I still have one concern/question tho..
The video card has a "Y" cable to plugs into it, and has PCIe style connectors on the ends. Do BOTH of those need to be connected to the power supply?
My PSU has only 2 of those cables and one of them plugs into the motherboard, so....

Greetings,
Would you be able to share a picture of what you have so we can get a better look at that with you?

That sounds like its the 2-8 pin to the 12+4 pin adapter for the GPU. That is for Power Supplies without a built-in 12+4 pin connection to connect 2 8-pin PCIE cables to and then connect to your GPU.
You shouldn't need that adapter as your Power Supply should have a slot on it labeled "12VHPWR", and the cable that comes with the Power Supply for that slot (called a 12+4 pin cable, or sometimes a 16 pin cable) is the one you'll want to connect between your Power Supply and your GPU.
Here is the manual for the PSU for reference:
I hope this helps! -
Yea, I got it worked out, thanks for the assistance!
I was trying to save a bit of money by cannibalizing the PSU from my old PC but it turns out I had to get a new one anyway… Old one did not have the VHPWR cable.
