Personal Computer Build Project
I have made a PC, this is how I did it!!!!
Supplies
CPU, Motherboard, thermal paste, Ram, PC case with fans, Heatsink.
Place CPU on Motherboard
Use the triangle to see the correct orientation. Gently place on the array. make sure it can not move off of it.
Latch the CPU Down
Pull the lever back so the metal notch can slide under the pin, pull the lever down and under the hook, don't be afraid to apply some amount of force.
Apply Thermal Paste
Put a small pea size amount of thermal paste on the center of the CPU. If you add too much (overflowing on the side), wipe the CPU clean and try again.
Attach Heatsink
screw down the heatsink and be careful it is fragile.
Attach Ram to Motherboard
Apply even pressure and make sure its facing the right way. You should hear a click.
Attach Motherboard to Case
screw in the screws to the standoff holes (very important).
Attach Power Supply
screw in the power supply of the back and feed the cables into the main part of the case. Put the CPU 4/8 cable through the hole closest to the IO shield.
Attach Cables to Motherboard and CPU
The power cables from the power supply should now go to the motherboard. 20/24 pin goes to the motherboard, 4/8 pin goes to the CPU.
Attach Front Panel Audio
connect the front panel audio connections to the output.
Attach Power Switch Cables
attach the power switch wires to there labeled spots and make sure the text is facing away from the motherboard.
Attach USB Connecters
connect the USB connections to the pins on the motherboard.
Attach Fans
connect the three fans to the fan outputs.
Attach Panels
Screw the front and back panels on.
Verify Full System Functionality
Connect the computer to a monitor and see if there is a bios beep and display.
