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.

Screw the front and back panels on.
Verify Full System Functionality
