What to do first?

Hey all my bits have come from OCUK but now its a matter of putting it together. What should I do first...... maybe put the CPU on the motherboard then put paste on top and place fan on?

This is looking harder than i expected. There are so many cables from power unit. then cables from both fans, aint got clue where they go

Motherboard is screwed in. Slightly worried I placed CPU on slot and pushed the bar down to lock into place. I had to put quite bit pressure onto it. Also no CPU grease for the fan? Should this been provided or do you have to buy yourself

Yeah for the cpu cooler there is no grease supplied with either motherboard or CPU

Just one that came with the processor Intel I5

Would not say paste but if you touch bottom of fan there is like sticky tape sort of thing on it. Grey and sticky but does not come off onto your hands

So should I just put the CPU fan in then? No Paste? Connected up what I think is right now but have not installed CD drive yet or graphics. Could I possibly email someone a pic to see if they think it looks right?

Just powered on. The rear fan goes around a little then stops. Thats all that happens

xxtomox · 21 Jul 2011 at 15:25

Sorry all fans spin. For second then stop.

None of the cables from PSU have CPU on all just say p1,p2 etc

xxtomox · 21 Jul 2011 at 17:19

Graphics card moved. But what do people mean power CPU. There is no cable for CPU? Just cables saying P1,P2 etc. There is a plug top left 4 pin that does say ATX_12V
