i want to build one is so much fun!

[MeNoGud]

Personally, I install my RAM and CPU fan before putting the motherboard in, because installing the CPU cooler inside the case is hard(specially that goddamm Intel Stock CPU cooler).

@Xcorez Your comment was mostly true, except for the fact that most people do not get laid at or before the age of Twelve...

[IndyGunFreak]

@MeNoGud I totally agree... been building them for 10yrs, and have always put memory and CPU fan on outside the case.

and if he is a nerd, wath?

I perfer to install the memory before installing the board into the case...why? sometimes you have to push down kinda hard, this way you won't crack or damage the board.

[BaileyShelhorse]

You know you would have saved yourself a lot fo time, just to install the cpu, cpu fan, and ram on the motherboard before putting it into the case. I alwasy put the power supply in last too.

@o0Deano2k80o Yeah but they still need the heatsink, just not the push/pull fans...

jók a videók

[ConsoleGamingGuides]

@o0Deano2k80o You run your processor with nothing!? Or do you mean you use a heatsink without a push/pull fan system...
