What to do first?

I would put in my gfx last when it's in the case because it's hard to do cable management with it in.

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?

If there is that grey sticky stuff as you call it under it you can put the cpu cooler.

thats what the grease is.

how do I insert image on to this forum?

anuraj · 21 Jul 2011 at 15:03

Upload it to photoucket or imageshack. Copy the direct link. Come to post something here. Click on the mountain icon thing insert the link in the box that appears and you should have the picture.

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

xxtomox · 21 Jul 2011 at 15:25

Have you connected CPU power? Socket should be somewhere on the top left corner of the motherboard...

Also, before you go any further,be a good idea to flip the power supply around with the fan facing upwards. Theres no vent at the bottom of the case therefore the psu cant draw in air too cool.

Im just presuming your using the Coolermaster Elite 330 btw, sorry if im wrong

xxtomox · 21 Jul 2011 at 16:49

The PSU and back fan were already installed

You've got the cpu fan connected so that's fine.

Look for a 4 pin capable that leads from the psu, it should read CPU. Then connect that into the 4 pin socket which is located at the top left corner of the motherboard. That should help proceedings

xxtomox · 21 Jul 2011 at 17:05

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

move the GPU to the top blue slot so it can operates at 16x.
