hey @Plec, im here.

ok thanks, will start on that list now.

ive managed to hard wire the interenet, used a powerline, working great.

Plec · 27 Aug 2017 at 11:35

Great.

* remember to occasionally ground yourself.

@Plec

SSD screwed in and in place
1 molex\sata connected into psu
Nvidia and amd drivers downloaded to usb stick

The fan cables are a 3 pin, the sys fan headers on motherboard are 4 pins??

Plec · 27 Aug 2017 at 11:56

The 4 pin header will take the 3 pin fan - it will line up and fit.

dmann · 27 Aug 2017 at 11:57

@Plec

phew, all done

Plec · 27 Aug 2017 at 12:03

Connect up the SSD - power and SATA cable to SATA 0 input.

ok, think ive done that correctlty....ive plugged it into the mb slot which says SATA3, and in the 0 slot, sound right?

Or theres another pair, labelled on mb as ASATA, 0 and 1?

Plec · 27 Aug 2017 at 12:19

SATA 0 is fine.

Connect mouse if not done so already

Then press case power (check all switched on) and press 'delete'on post.

Once in load 'optimised defaults' - in the 'Save and Exit' section.

Then save and exit

Then boot to BIOS again - and switch off.

POst back...

EDIT: Making kids lunch etc... so don't worry if delayed reply (I will let you know when i'm going out.)

Done

ps no problem if any delay with replies, do what you gotta do

Plec · 27 Aug 2017 at 12:35

OK, stick the Windows USB in.

Switch in and boot in the BIOS (delete key) and change the Boot Priority within 'BIOS' tab so the USB is first bootable device.

Save and exit

Let system reboot - and it should start windows process.

dmann · 27 Aug 2017 at 12:40

Just going through the setup now...

Plec · 27 Aug 2017 at 12:44

OK, i have about 30-60 minutes tops - then going out.

But we should get you operational testing and then additional setup when i get back.

Looks promising so far.

Great - expected to have to walk you through it.

Good man.

Remove USB stick.
Reboot
install chipset drivers
Reboot
install Nvidia drivers
Reboot

Post back

*Hope you enabled privacy etc?.. - we can do that later if necessary, gagging Cortana is advisable too (personal preferences - worry about these another time.)

Bleah!

- No matter - it would have taken a lot longer doing custom route.
