A lot of cases have a USB3.0  cable to the front panel but only a standard USB3.0 male connector to make the connection and so you have to take the cable out of the rear and plug it into a USB3.0 port on the back panel. This is something I am always moaning to manufacturers about when I do reviews. The majority of motherboards now have an internal USB3.0 header.

Yes if the case wiring has the normal type of USB3.0 plug to connect the front panel. Trouble is this way apart from being messy it uses one of your USB3.0 ports.

Ok thanks. I have one question more. My graphics card has two 6 pin connectors. Should i insert plugs into one or two of them?

No you need to fill all the sockets where there are ones for power. So you reqire two six pin connectors to be inserted.

Hello. Now i've played some games. After 20 minutes of Just Cause 2 (Max settings) the GPU rises to 75 degrees celcius. Is this normal? And also what is the max temperature before i should start worrying? And when it is idle it's at 45 degrees celcius

UPDATE:

After continuing playing it consistently stays around 77 degrees celcius

75 is typical; max is 100; be concerned above 90.  Case cooling helps GPU cooling.

I'd be more concerned about the stock Intel CPU cooler--if you have a K model CPU anyway.   ;)

Well great my average GPU temp goes to 72 with a max of 81 and then it drops to around 68  ;) What is a normal CPU temp?

Your temperatures sound fine to me and can differ between setups. A lot can depend on the case and cooling systems involved. I run a water cooling setup and I can max my rig out and still have the temp below 50C. Don't worry about it yours is fine.

TJmax for the 2500K is 90C.

With the stock cooler, running all four cores at full load will hit TJmax within minutes, wherein the CPU will down-clock until the heat dissipates/core temp drops, which, in a few more minutes will never happen and it will be stuck running slower.  If you have CPU-intensive apps, keep a temperature logging program running to see if its enough.

I max at 66C @ 4.2GHz with the Zalman 9900 and it looks spiffy, http://www.zalman.com/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=416

Just about any aftermarket HSF is better than stock.

Your GPU temps are fine (what GPU anyway?); my Gigabyte GTX580@850MHz stays in the lower 70's at full load (Skyrim as of late); the three fans on it with the case cooling helps that.
