If using IMGUR use the BB code, for message boards, and just copy the link straight onto the forum.

I'm so close to buying this @orbitalwalsh - unless something else catches my eye before April.

Doing it on mobile is a pain!!! Off pc it's easier
If mobile you have to hold on the image and select , send direct link to text message, then copy the code, the click on the load IMG icon here

Enjoy ! Take time, check and double check

I have three of these 2 completr and on not, im guessing they are to control thr fans and the empty one is for an addition fan? Im just going to tuck these out the way, and feed the other leads through before.mounting the MB. Cpu, cooler and ram installed.

leeince · 14 Jan 2018 at 16:12

Should I put the wireless card on the mother board before putting the Mb in?

leeince · 14 Jan 2018 at 16:26

Which screws for the to fix the MB to the case?

leeince · 14 Jan 2018 at 16:30

@orbitalwalsh Help!!!!

leeince · 14 Jan 2018 at 16:34

Ive used the screws with the larger heads in width not depth, I only had 5 fixing points not 6?

orbitalwalsh · 14 Jan 2018 at 16:48

I believe the screws are M3 thread .
There's normally 9 holes on the board . Depends how many stand offs have been pre fitted .
Manual should state screw too.

I just test the screw in the stand off before putting in the Mobo

No set method . I tend to slam in the hardware the cables - which leads to ok-ish cable management haha

leeince · 14 Jan 2018 at 17:18

Now im stuck, PSU is screwed in and ive slotted the HDD into one of the bays but i have no idea what cable goes from the HDD to the mother board?? I imagine im going to have the same issue when i get to the ssd?? Any ideas?? @orbitalwalsh
