Oh damn my battery gone off, I've got 4 big screw and several littles one which one fits?

thx again

just saw some from my old mobo, so I know which one to fit in/

GTO656 · 25 Oct 2011 at 00:00

Should I leave the mobo on the table and install processor/CPU and RAM and then put Mobo into chassi and screw all standoffs?

GTO656 · 25 Oct 2011 at 00:49

Just installed CPU, Damn the Gelid cooler is massive, shud I tht in first or the RAM?

GTO656 · 25 Oct 2011 at 11:19

Thx dude, just about resume everything. well the screw fit into the mobo so ill leave that out to test, so do I screw onto the case to make sure it fits? but not fully tighten it.

GTO656 · 25 Oct 2011 at 11:33

I've just installed the RAMs into the blue slots. with no problem

nah if you have it out easier to fully tighten than fiddling about in the case, but there again whichever you find easiest will do.

GTO656 · 26 Oct 2011 at 14:14

we better be seeing pictures when this is all done, or else......................

hope its going okay matey.

just remember to take ya time with the cables, have a look at it and work out an idea of how to get everything where u want it, cable ties etc are useful to keep things tidy and out the way.

Thx dude yh I'll take take my time with the cables etc. will put pics up wen Im done

GTO656 · 26 Oct 2011 at 20:00

Damn I think I have a problem with the motherboard standoffs dont seem tighten it.

GTO656 · 26 Oct 2011 at 20:25

Its all good now, some of the standoffs were higher than others so I had some bigger screw to do that. Fitted 6 out of 8 screw for the standoff. and just placed in an upright position so its all good.

GTO656 · 26 Oct 2011 at 23:00

Can any1 tell me where I can fine the SYSTEM POWER LED 2 pin cable?? I dont think my case has one?

GTO656 · 27 Oct 2011 at 10:43

Sure, basically the one on the left is taller than the one on the right and I had to put the bigger screws of that size on to left one, Right ones are smaller so I used the smaller screws if that makes sense?

GTO656 · 27 Oct 2011 at 10:45

it did say on the manual to fit eight screws in, so I did put it into the positions they should go in.
