Computer Build Part Two: Motherboard, Ram and CPU


In Part two I cover how I started building my machine. Of course you could install the motherboard (mobo) first but I decided to install the CPU and Ram onto the mobo and then install the mobo into the case. Remember, be gentle. If the components don’t fit nicely take a second and check to see if something is wrong. For exclusive content follow me on twitter at twitter.com and check out my blog at michaelsherlock.com

    u should have chose a better CPU IMO, maybe a Core i7 950 or for heavy performance, a Core i7 970 or Core i7 980X

    First Don’t touch the bottom of the CPU, then after you get it on wipe off the top so no oil from your fingers is left on it.
    After that stock fan has thermal but you need to twist it some so it will spread or its a waste all the thermal is hard on the outside so it will not connect effectively.
    For the love of all things don’t use a magnetic screw driver and use a static pad.

    U should have told about, Thermal compound. I Guess That u just used the default Compound on the fan. But U really want to get an after-marked compound. Especially if u want to overclock, as u said u would.
