Looking good...
I'm doing a similar build to this at some point in the future, in fact, the same CPU/MOBO/RAM, so i guess you're my Guinea pig :D
Good luck though, i think i may aswell sub.
 
ooo yay i get to post a piccy of mine in just under an hour :D I WANT TO GO HOME DAMNIT :D I love seeing hardware all stacked up like that, it looks so satisfying (albeit expensive haha)

EDIT: I THINK that the bracket was upside down, I've turned it over and it seems to fit, though it looks the other way around in the diagram. Oh well.

I've got a question about the Corsair H50, can I use the 140mm fan which came with the antec 902 case or do I have to replace it with the Corsair fan?

EDIT: Now I found out the H50 doesnt fit into the Antec 902.. :(

The corsair H50 requires the 120mm fan supplied with it, or any other brand 120mm fan that you want to choose.

Yeah I mean its 120mm in the corsair, but its connectged to a fan speed selector, so is this still OK to use?

I also need some help about other stuff..

I'm not sure how to connect up the system fans as they wont go into the motherboard sockets, so how do I connect the wires for them?

From the front panel I have an AC97 and a HD audio connector not sure where their meant to plug into..:confused:

Where do I plug the Corsair H50 power into?

The fans for the 902 are Molex adapters and they will plug in a daisy-chain fashion into each other, finnaly connecting to the PSU, or fan controller if you have one.

HD Audio generaly plugs into a port down the bottom of the motherboard, ususaly labeled.

Power for the pump can be pluged into the CPU header and disabling a feature in the BIOS (board dependant) or pluging into another other Fan Header on the motherboard.

EDIT: The feature in the BIOS will throttle the speed of the HSF, since this is a pump it will require a constant voltage, if you're not confident in messing around with the BIOS just yet, I suggest you plug it into another header.

HTH :)

plug the power lead of the corsairs pump into cpu fan header on mother board, get your manual out for the rest of the audio headers, and your fans will probly plug into the molex connectors of the power supply
 
I find that the AC97 generally doesn't get used, the HD audio should be the only one to fit? It's for your front panel Mic and Headphone jack.
 
Ok I plugged in the HD Audio one.

Can anyone confirm if I plug the Corsair H50 PUMP into the CPU Fan slot or System Fan slot?

Finally do I need 2 PCI-E adaptors for the 4890?
