i've probably got enough storage with

i've probably got enough storage with the two terabytes of m.2

the two terabytes of m.2

the two terabytes of m.2 ssd storage for this build but i have

ssd storage for this build but i have

ssd storage for this build but i have picked up a sata drive as well

picked up a sata drive as well

picked up a sata drive as well it's the kc600 from kingston and 500

it's the kc600 from kingston and 500

it's the kc600 from kingston and 500 gigabytes of size

gigabytes of size

gigabytes of size main reason for doing that is to show

main reason for doing that is to show

main reason for doing that is to show you how to install a satay ssd in case

you how to install a satay ssd in case

you how to install a satay ssd in case you want to go down

you want to go down

you want to go down that route and but honestly with the gen

that route and but honestly with the gen

that route and but honestly with the gen 3 m.2 ssds

3 m.2 ssds

3 m.2 ssds been only a little bit dearer than the

been only a little bit dearer than the

been only a little bit dearer than the sata drives and offering so much more

sata drives and offering so much more

sata drives and offering so much more performance

performance

performance that would be my recommendation if you

that would be my recommendation if you

that would be my recommendation if you can go down that route

can go down that route

can go down that route main reason for picking up the sata

main reason for picking up the sata

main reason for picking up the sata drives is if you've occupied both the

drives is if you've occupied both the

drives is if you've occupied both the m.2 ssds and you need more storage

m.2 ssds and you need more storage

m.2 ssds and you need more storage that's really your only option to add

that's really your only option to add

that's really your only option to add into the build

anything that's going to get in the way

anything that's going to get in the way of the build this case is a little bit

of the build this case is a little bit

of the build this case is a little bit different because the first thing we're

different because the first thing we're

different because the first thing we're actually going to have to do

actually going to have to do

actually going to have to do is put the legs on it so make sure you

so again that's maybe a project for another day i'm not going to do that

another day i'm not going to do that

another day i'm not going to do that with today's build

with today's build

with today's build so we're ready to move on to our

so we're ready to move on to our

so we're ready to move on to our motherboard okay this is our motherboard

motherboard okay this is our motherboard we're going to do as much work with the

we're going to do as much work with the

we're going to do as much work with the motherboard as we can before we put it

motherboard as we can before we put it

motherboard as we can before we put it into the case because it's much easier

into the case because it's much easier

into the case because it's much easier to work on it on a flat table than it is

to work on it on a flat table than it is

to work on it on a flat table than it is in the cramped confines of a case

in the cramped confines of a case

in the cramped confines of a case so we're going to go ahead and install

so we're going to go ahead and install

so we're going to go ahead and install our cpu into this socket here in the

our cpu into this socket here in the

our cpu into this socket here in the middle of the motherboard

middle of the motherboard

middle of the motherboard we're going to put our m.2 ssds into

here but before we come on and do that i want

but before we come on and do that i want

but before we come on and do that i want to show you how to update the bias on

to show you how to update the bias on

to show you how to update the bias on the motherboard using the flash bias

the motherboard using the flash bias

the motherboard using the flash bias button

button

button on the side because we've got one of the

on the side because we've got one of the

on the side because we've got one of the new 5000 series cpus

new 5000 series cpus

new 5000 series cpus we're going to need a bias update before

we're going to need a bias update before

we're going to need a bias update before it's going to work on our motherboard

it's going to work on our motherboard

it's going to work on our motherboard so we've got two options to update our

so we've got two options to update our

so we've got two options to update our bias the first

bias the first

bias the first is we can install an older 3000 series

is we can install an older 3000 series

is we can install an older 3000 series cpu which will work on this motherboard

cpu which will work on this motherboard

cpu which will work on this motherboard right out of the box we can then go

right out of the box we can then go

right out of the box we can then go ahead and update our bias in a standard

ahead and update our bias in a standard

ahead and update our bias in a standard way that i've shown you in previous

way that i've shown you in previous

way that i've shown you in previous videos

videos

videos and then swap out the cpu to your new

and then swap out the cpu to your new

and then swap out the cpu to your new cpu and it'll work perfectly fine

cpu and it'll work perfectly fine

cpu and it'll work perfectly fine if you don't have an older cpu or you

if you don't have an older cpu or you

if you don't have an older cpu or you want to avoid all the hassle of that

want to avoid all the hassle of that

want to avoid all the hassle of that because that does sound like an awful

because that does sound like an awful

because that does sound like an awful lot of hassle

lot of hassle

lot of hassle there is an alternative our motherboard

there is an alternative our motherboard

there is an alternative our motherboard has a flash bias button so we can load

has a flash bias button so we can load

has a flash bias button so we can load our new bias onto the usb drive i'll

our new bias onto the usb drive i'll

our new bias onto the usb drive i'll show you how to do this in a minute

show you how to do this in a minute

show you how to do this in a minute and then we can update the bias on our

and then we can update the bias on our

and then we can update the bias on our motherboard without actually going ahead

motherboard without actually going ahead

motherboard without actually going ahead and installing anything else

and installing anything else

and installing anything else on the motherboard so i'll show you how

on the motherboard so i'll show you how

on the motherboard so i'll show you how to do that now

to do that now

to do that now okay first thing first to do is to head

okay first thing first to do is to head

okay first thing first to do is to head over to our motherboards page over on

over to our motherboards page over on

over to our motherboards page over on msi's website

msi's website

and that's our usb drive ready to update

and that's our usb drive ready to update

and that's our usb drive ready to update the bias

the bias

the bias so we can now go ahead and plug our usb

so we can now go ahead and plug our usb

so we can now go ahead and plug our usb drive into the flash pass port

drive into the flash pass port

drive into the flash pass port it's this one here marked with a little

it's this one here marked with a little

it's this one here marked with a little rectangle around it

rectangle around it

rectangle around it and the flash bias button is just above

and the flash bias button is just above

and the flash bias button is just above it

so now we need to power our motherboard

so now we need to power our motherboard

so now we need to power our motherboard there's two par cables we're going to

there's two par cables we're going to

there's two par cables we're going to have to plug in our 24 pin connector

have to plug in our 24 pin connector

have to plug in our 24 pin connector and also the 8 pin connector supply an

and also the 8 pin connector supply an

and also the 8 pin connector supply an additional power to the cpu

additional power to the cpu

additional power to the cpu so i'm going to go ahead and plug these

so i'm going to go ahead and plug these

so i'm going to go ahead and plug these in now

okay that's that one in

so if you're unfamiliar with a power

so if you're unfamiliar with a power

so if you're unfamiliar with a power supply you might want to skip to that

supply you might want to skip to that

supply you might want to skip to that section to find out how to plug these

section to find out how to plug these

section to find out how to plug these wires in

wires in

wires in and that will be timestamped in the

and that will be timestamped in the

and that will be timestamped in the video okay and a word of caution on this

video okay and a word of caution on this

video okay and a word of caution on this um if you do this wrong you can actually

um if you do this wrong you can actually

um if you do this wrong you can actually end up breaking your motherboard

end up breaking your motherboard

end up breaking your motherboard so you should really only be doing this

so you should really only be doing this

so you should really only be doing this if you really have to

if you really have to

if you really have to it's also really important that your

it's also really important that your

it's also really important that your motherboard does not lose power during

motherboard does not lose power during

motherboard does not lose power during the bias update

the bias update

the bias update this whole thing is probably going to

this whole thing is probably going to

this whole thing is probably going to take about five minutes

take about five minutes

take about five minutes and if your motherboard does lose power

and if your motherboard does lose power

and if your motherboard does lose power during it the chances are you will break

during it the chances are you will break

during it the chances are you will break your motherboard

your motherboard

your motherboard so one only do it if you want to and be

so one only do it if you want to and be

so one only do it if you want to and be really careful doing it

really careful doing it

really careful doing it okay so i'm going to go ahead and flip

okay so i'm going to go ahead and flip

okay so i'm going to go ahead and flip the switch on our power supply

the switch on our power supply

the switch on our power supply and next thing to do is to press the

and next thing to do is to press the

and next thing to do is to press the flash bias button

flash bias button

flash bias button i'm going to go ahead and press that now

okay so you can see the little red light

okay so you can see the little red light

okay so you can see the little red light flashing whenever the bias update's

flashing whenever the bias update's

flashing whenever the bias update's finished that light should stop flashing

finished that light should stop flashing

finished that light should stop flashing so we expect it to take about five

so we expect it to take about five

so we expect it to take about five minutes so i'll go ahead and speed this

minutes so i'll go ahead and speed this

minutes so i'll go ahead and speed this bit up for you

okay so we can see the little red light

okay so we can see the little red light

okay so we can see the little red light has stopped flashing

has stopped flashing

has stopped flashing what happened the motherboard part off

what happened the motherboard part off

what happened the motherboard part off and then powered back on again

and then powered back on again

and then powered back on again so hopefully that should be our bias

so hopefully that should be our bias

so hopefully that should be our bias updated took maybe about four and a half

updated took maybe about four and a half

updated took maybe about four and a half minutes or so to finish

minutes or so to finish

minutes or so to finish okay first thing to do is to install our

okay first thing to do is to install our

okay first thing to do is to install our cpu into this socket here but before i

cpu into this socket here but before i

cpu into this socket here but before i do that i want to point something out

do that i want to point something out

do that i want to point something out okay we take a closer look at the socket

okay we take a closer look at the socket

okay we take a closer look at the socket what you'll notice this corner here in

what you'll notice this corner here in

what you'll notice this corner here in the top left hand side of the

the top left hand side of the

the top left hand side of the motherboard

motherboard

motherboard has a little triangle out none of the

has a little triangle out none of the

has a little triangle out none of the other corners of the socket

other corners of the socket

other corners of the socket have that triangle there's also a little

have that triangle there's also a little

have that triangle there's also a little white mark on the motherboard and both

white mark on the motherboard and both

white mark on the motherboard and both those marks are designed to help us line

those marks are designed to help us line

those marks are designed to help us line our cpu

our cpu

our cpu up with the socket in the right

up with the socket in the right

up with the socket in the right orientation to prepare our motherboard

orientation to prepare our motherboard

orientation to prepare our motherboard to receive the cpu all we need to do is

to receive the cpu all we need to do is

to receive the cpu all we need to do is lift this little lever

lift this little lever

lift this little lever all the way over to the right hand side

all the way over to the right hand side

all the way over to the right hand side okay so this is our cpu

okay so this is our cpu

okay so this is our cpu what you'll notice is i'm holding it by

what you'll notice is i'm holding it by

what you'll notice is i'm holding it by its size and the reason for that is i

its size and the reason for that is i

its size and the reason for that is i don't want to damage these gold pins

don't want to damage these gold pins

don't want to damage these gold pins on the bottom of the cpu if i do that i

on the bottom of the cpu if i do that i

on the bottom of the cpu if i do that i can make the cpu

can make the cpu

can make the cpu absolutely useless the other important

absolutely useless the other important

absolutely useless the other important thing to point out if you look at the

thing to point out if you look at the

thing to point out if you look at the top corner now the cpu

top corner now the cpu

top corner now the cpu it has little gold triangle on it none

it has little gold triangle on it none

it has little gold triangle on it none of the other corners have this so we're

of the other corners have this so we're

of the other corners have this so we're going to need to align this corner

going to need to align this corner

going to need to align this corner up with the mark on the motherboard

up with the mark on the motherboard

up with the mark on the motherboard okay so we've got the cpu lined up the

okay so we've got the cpu lined up the

okay so we've got the cpu lined up the right way i've got the little gold

right way i've got the little gold

right way i've got the little gold triangle

triangle

triangle pointing towards the top left hand

pointing towards the top left hand

pointing towards the top left hand corner now all i need to do is hover the

corner now all i need to do is hover the

corner now all i need to do is hover the cpu over the socket and let it fall into

cpu over the socket and let it fall into

cpu over the socket and let it fall into place

place

place if it doesn't fall in i'm just going to

if it doesn't fall in i'm just going to

if it doesn't fall in i'm just going to move it about slightly and you hear

move it about slightly and you hear

move it about slightly and you hear there it's just

there it's just

there it's just falling into the socket really important

falling into the socket really important

falling into the socket really important i don't go pushing down on us because i

i don't go pushing down on us because i

i don't go pushing down on us because i can risk damaging the pins

can risk damaging the pins

can risk damaging the pins all i need to do to finish installing

all i need to do to finish installing

all i need to do to finish installing the cpu is close this little lever

the cpu is close this little lever

the cpu is close this little lever and we've now installed our cpu next

and we've now installed our cpu next

and we've now installed our cpu next thing for us to do is to install our m.2

thing for us to do is to install our m.2

thing for us to do is to install our m.2 ssds

ssds

ssds and this motherboard has two m.2 ssd

and this motherboard has two m.2 ssd

and this motherboard has two m.2 ssd sockets one behind this heatsink

sockets one behind this heatsink

sockets one behind this heatsink and one behind this heatsink it's

and one behind this heatsink it's

and one behind this heatsink it's important to check your motherboard

important to check your motherboard

important to check your motherboard manual the specifications of each of the

manual the specifications of each of the

manual the specifications of each of the sockets so you install your ssd

sockets so you install your ssd

sockets so you install your ssd in the best socket this one at the top

in the best socket this one at the top

in the best socket this one at the top supports gen 4 speeds as we can see by

supports gen 4 speeds as we can see by

supports gen 4 speeds as we can see by the marking on the heatsink

the marking on the heatsink

the marking on the heatsink and this one supports gen 3 speeds so

and this one supports gen 3 speeds so

and this one supports gen 3 speeds so our gen 4 drive is going to go into here

our gen 4 drive is going to go into here

our gen 4 drive is going to go into here our gen 3 drive is going to go into here

our gen 3 drive is going to go into here

our gen 3 drive is going to go into here so if you're using a different

so if you're using a different

so if you're using a different motherboard the specifications of the

motherboard the specifications of the

motherboard the specifications of the sockets can vary widely so it's

sockets can vary widely so it's

sockets can vary widely so it's important you check your manual

important you check your manual

important you check your manual so we just need to remove the four

so we just need to remove the four

so we just need to remove the four screws to get the heat sinks off

okay so this is our m.2 ssd you'll

okay so this is our m.2 ssd you'll

okay so this is our m.2 ssd you'll notice over to the right hand side we've

notice over to the right hand side we've

notice over to the right hand side we've got the gold connectors which are going

got the gold connectors which are going

got the gold connectors which are going to plug into the motherboard

to plug into the motherboard

to plug into the motherboard over to the left-hand side we've got a

over to the left-hand side we've got a

over to the left-hand side we've got a semi-circle and that's where we're going

semi-circle and that's where we're going

semi-circle and that's where we're going to secure it with the screw

to secure it with the screw

to secure it with the screw to the motherboard so our m.2 st sockets

to the motherboard so our m.2 st sockets

to the motherboard so our m.2 st sockets are here

are here

are here and here and what we're going to do is

and here and what we're going to do is

and here and what we're going to do is insert our m.t ssd in at a side angle to

insert our m.t ssd in at a side angle to

insert our m.t ssd in at a side angle to the socket

the socket

the socket and then secure it down with a screw

and then secure it down with a screw

and then secure it down with a screw through the standoffs

through the standoffs

through the standoffs we're going to get the screw out of our

we're going to get the screw out of our

we're going to get the screw out of our motherboard box so the top one's going

motherboard box so the top one's going

motherboard box so the top one's going to go into here and get secured

to go into here and get secured

to go into here and get secured down through here okay so our gen 4 m.2

down through here okay so our gen 4 m.2

down through here okay so our gen 4 m.2 ssd socket is here

ssd socket is here

ssd socket is here to install the drive all we need to do

to install the drive all we need to do

to install the drive all we need to do is insert it at a slight angle

is insert it at a slight angle

is insert it at a slight angle into the socket then we can go ahead and

into the socket then we can go ahead and

into the socket then we can go ahead and secure it into place with the screw

secure it into place with the screw

secure it into place with the screw we'll get in our motherboard box

we'll get in our motherboard box

we'll get in our motherboard box so the drive below the process is

so the drive below the process is

so the drive below the process is slightly different

slightly different

slightly different so if we line our drive up lengthwise we

so if we line our drive up lengthwise we

so if we line our drive up lengthwise we can see we're going to secure it

can see we're going to secure it

can see we're going to secure it into this standoff here there is an

into this standoff here there is an

into this standoff here there is an additional standoff here which is

additional standoff here which is

additional standoff here which is designed for shorter drives

designed for shorter drives

designed for shorter drives it's really important we go ahead and

it's really important we go ahead and

it's really important we go ahead and remove this standoff because if we

remove this standoff because if we

remove this standoff because if we secure into this one there's a risk that

secure into this one there's a risk that

secure into this one there's a risk that this one will bend the drive

this one will bend the drive

this one will bend the drive so i'm going to go ahead and get it

so i'm going to go ahead and get it

so i'm going to go ahead and get it removed now

removed now

removed now okay installing the drive is just

okay installing the drive is just

okay installing the drive is just exactly the same process with the one

exactly the same process with the one

exactly the same process with the one above inserting it into the socket at a

above inserting it into the socket at a

above inserting it into the socket at a slight angle

slight angle

slight angle now the only difference is when we come

now the only difference is when we come

now the only difference is when we come to secure this one we're not going to

to secure this one we're not going to

to secure this one we're not going to screw it in with the screw

screw it in with the screw

screw it in with the screw the screw in the heatsink is actually

the screw in the heatsink is actually

the screw in the heatsink is actually going to go through here and secure not

going to go through here and secure not

going to go through here and secure not only the heat sink

only the heat sink

only the heat sink but also the drive in place the last

but also the drive in place the last

but also the drive in place the last thing to mention if we look at the back

thing to mention if we look at the back

thing to mention if we look at the back of our heatsinks we've got some plastic

of our heatsinks we've got some plastic

of our heatsinks we've got some plastic protection

protection

protection so it is important that we remove this

so it is important that we remove this

so it is important that we remove this before first use

okay with the heatsink for the bottom

okay with the heatsink for the bottom

okay with the heatsink for the bottom drive now we're just going to remove the

drive now we're just going to remove the

drive now we're just going to remove the plastic protection

plastic protection

plastic protection and then we just need to line the drive

and then we just need to line the drive

and then we just need to line the drive up

and as we've mentioned this screw is

and as we've mentioned this screw is

and as we've mentioned this screw is also going to secure our drive in place

okay the next thing for us to do is to

okay the next thing for us to do is to

okay the next thing for us to do is to go ahead and install our ram into these

go ahead and install our ram into these

go ahead and install our ram into these slots here

slots here

slots here if you knew we've got four slots but

if you knew we've got four slots but

if you knew we've got four slots but we've only got two sticks of ram

we've only got two sticks of ram

we've only got two sticks of ram in our kit so it's really important we

in our kit so it's really important we

in our kit so it's really important we just don't pick and choose which of the

just don't pick and choose which of the

just don't pick and choose which of the slots we installed into so we check our

slots we installed into so we check our

slots we installed into so we check our manual

and this one the one right at the end

and this one the one right at the end the fourth one along from the cpu if

the fourth one along from the cpu if

the fourth one along from the cpu if we've only got two sticks

we've only got two sticks

we've only got two sticks so to prepare the softwares to receive

so to prepare the softwares to receive

so to prepare the softwares to receive the ram all we need to do is open the

the ram all we need to do is open the

the ram all we need to do is open the little clip

little clip

little clip at the top

some other motherboards that also be a

only has the clip at the top okay so

only has the clip at the top okay so this is our ram and just before we go

this is our ram and just before we go

this is our ram and just before we go ahead and install it there's one thing i

ahead and install it there's one thing i

ahead and install it there's one thing i want to point out

want to point out there's two gold connectors down the

there's two gold connectors down the

there's two gold connectors down the bottom and importantly they're not of

bottom and importantly they're not of

bottom and importantly they're not of equal length so they went over to the

equal length so they went over to the

equal length so they went over to the right hand side

right hand side

right hand side is slightly longer than the one to the

is slightly longer than the one to the left hand side

left hand side

left hand side it's exactly the same with the socket on

it's exactly the same with the socket on

it's exactly the same with the socket on the motherboard so it's important we

the motherboard so it's important we

the motherboard so it's important we line the ram up

line the ram up

line the ram up the right way right to avoid damaging it

the right way right to avoid damaging it

the right way right to avoid damaging it okay so i've got the ram lined up the

okay so i've got the ram lined up the

okay so i've got the ram lined up the right way round so i'm just going to

right way round so i'm just going to

right way round so i'm just going to line it up with the socket

once we're happy it's in the right way

once we're happy it's in the right way

once we're happy it's in the right way all we need to do is pry a little bit of

all we need to do is pry a little bit of

okay we're now ready to go ahead and put

okay we're now ready to go ahead and put our motherboard into the case

our motherboard into the case

our motherboard into the case but before we do i want to point out a

but before we do i want to point out a

but before we do i want to point out a few things

few things

few things our motherboard has nine holes in it at

our motherboard has nine holes in it at

our motherboard has nine holes in it at the back of the case we've got nine

the back of the case we've got nine

the back of the case we've got nine standoffs in three rows of three

the other important thing to mention if you look at the standoff in the middle

you look at the standoff in the middle

you look at the standoff in the middle it is solid there's no hole in it to

it is solid there's no hole in it to

it is solid there's no hole in it to secure the motherboard

secure the motherboard

secure the motherboard into it and this is important to point

into it and this is important to point

and then you're going to be able to

and then you're going to be able to secure it with the other eight screws

secure it with the other eight screws

secure it with the other eight screws this is important because some people

this is important because some people

this is important because some people try to screw into this and can't

try to screw into this and can't

try to screw into this and can't understand

understand

understand why the screw won't go in and that's

why the screw won't go in and that's

why the screw won't go in and that's because there's no screw hole

because there's no screw hole

because there's no screw hole two other things to mention before we

two other things to mention before we

two other things to mention before we put the motherboard in the first is i

put the motherboard in the first is i

put the motherboard in the first is i will install my motherboard with the

and that is solely to give you guys a better view of me doing it

better view of me doing it

better view of me doing it it is much easier if you tilt your case

it is much easier if you tilt your case

it is much easier if you tilt your case on its back and put the motherboard in

on its back and put the motherboard in

on its back and put the motherboard in that way but if i did that you wouldn't

that way but if i did that you wouldn't

that way but if i did that you wouldn't get a great view of it

get a great view of it

get a great view of it the other important thing is if your

the other important thing is if your

the other important thing is if your motherboard doesn't have a pre-installed

motherboard doesn't have a pre-installed

motherboard doesn't have a pre-installed io shield

io shield

io shield you should go ahead and insert it into

you should go ahead and insert it into

you should go ahead and insert it into this hole first before you put your

and then what i can do is try and get

and then what i can do is try and get one of the other screws in and once

one of the other screws in and once

one of the other screws in and once we've got it in the motherboard should

we've got it in the motherboard should

we've got it in the motherboard should be fairly secure

okay so that's the motherboard in the

okay so that's the motherboard in the

okay so that's the motherboard in the case next thing for us to do is to go

case next thing for us to do is to go

case next thing for us to do is to go and plug in our case cables

and plug in our case cables

and plug in our case cables the reason i recommend doing this at

the reason i recommend doing this at

the reason i recommend doing this at this stage is the more we add into the

this stage is the more we add into the

this stage is the more we add into the case

case

case the more difficult it is to get access

the more difficult it is to get access

the more difficult it is to get access to the ports we need

to the ports we need

to the ports we need on the motherboard so i would get all

on the motherboard so i would get all

on the motherboard so i would get all these cables plugged in as our next step

these cables plugged in as our next step

these cables plugged in as our next step so what are the case cables so the case

so what are the case cables so the case

so what are the case cables so the case cables come from the front io

cables come from the front io

cables come from the front io so we've got a usb 3.0 header which is

so we've got a usb 3.0 header which is

so we've got a usb 3.0 header which is going to let the two

going to let the two

going to let the two usb type a ports on the top of the case

usb type a ports on the top of the case

usb type a ports on the top of the case work obviously they need to be plugged

work obviously they need to be plugged

work obviously they need to be plugged into the motherboard

into the motherboard

into the motherboard for them to work we've got our usb

for them to work we've got our usb

for them to work we've got our usb type-c cable which lets the type c port

type-c cable which lets the type c port

type-c cable which lets the type c port at the top

at the top work we've got a hd audio cable which

work we've got a hd audio cable which

work we've got a hd audio cable which lets the headphone and microphone jacks

lets the headphone and microphone jacks

lets the headphone and microphone jacks work

work

work and then we've got these tricky front

and then we've got these tricky front

and then we've got these tricky front panel connectors they're multiple small

panel connectors they're multiple small

panel connectors they're multiple small pins which are the most difficult ones

pins which are the most difficult ones

pins which are the most difficult ones to plug in

to plug in

to plug in in any build so therefore the power

in any build so therefore the power

in any build so therefore the power switch the reset switch

switch the reset switch

switch the reset switch the par led and also the hard drive led

the par led and also the hard drive led

the par led and also the hard drive led so because the case also has a fan hub

so because the case also has a fan hub

so because the case also has a fan hub but there's two additional case cables

but there's two additional case cables

but there's two additional case cables that we're gonna have to plug in

that we're gonna have to plug in

that we're gonna have to plug in the first is a four pin fan header so

the first is a four pin fan header so

the first is a four pin fan header so we're gonna need to plug it into one of

we're gonna need to plug it into one of

we're gonna need to plug it into one of the system fan headers in our

the system fan headers in our

the system fan headers in our motherboard

motherboard

motherboard and that's gonna allow our motherboard

and that's gonna allow our motherboard

and that's gonna allow our motherboard to control the fan hub

to control the fan hub

to control the fan hub without anything that's plugged into the

without anything that's plugged into the

without anything that's plugged into the fan hub the other is a sata power cable

fan hub the other is a sata power cable

fan hub the other is a sata power cable and that's going to power the fan hub so

and that's going to power the fan hub so

and that's going to power the fan hub so we're going to need to plug this into

we're going to need to plug this into

we're going to need to plug this into our power supply whenever we go ahead

our power supply whenever we go ahead

our power supply whenever we go ahead and install it

and install it

and install it so i'm going to start off with the hd

so i'm going to start off with the hd

so i'm going to start off with the hd audio cable so it generally goes down

audio cable so it generally goes down

audio cable so it generally goes down the bottom left hand side of the

the bottom left hand side of the

the bottom left hand side of the motherboard

motherboard

motherboard so it's important we feed it down the

so it's important we feed it down the

so it's important we feed it down the bottom close to where the header is

bottom close to where the header is

bottom close to where the header is going to be

going to be

going to be so i'm just going to run this cable

so i'm just going to run this cable

so i'm just going to run this cable through here and feed it

through here and feed it

through here and feed it in through here okay so this is the

in through here okay so this is the

in through here okay so this is the header that we're going to have to plug

header that we're going to have to plug

header that we're going to have to plug into

into

into down at the bottom left hand side of the

down at the bottom left hand side of the

down at the bottom left hand side of the motherboard

motherboard if we have a little look at the header

if we have a little look at the header

if we have a little look at the header you'll notice there's a pin missing

you'll notice there's a pin missing

you'll notice there's a pin missing second from the right on the top row

second from the right on the top row

second from the right on the top row and if we look at our little cable

and if we look at our little cable

and if we look at our little cable there's a hole missing on it as well

there's a hole missing on it as well

there's a hole missing on it as well so we need to line things up the right

so we need to line things up the right

so we need to line things up the right way so that generally is with the hd

way so that generally is with the hd

way so that generally is with the hd audio text

audio text

audio text facing up the way so all i need to do is

facing up the way so all i need to do is

facing up the way so all i need to do is line that up

line that up

line that up with the header and apply a little bit

with the header and apply a little bit

with the header and apply a little bit of pressure and it pushes

of pressure and it pushes

of pressure and it pushes into place okay next we have to plug in

into place okay next we have to plug in

into place okay next we have to plug in the front panel connectors and it's

the front panel connectors and it's

the front panel connectors and it's going to go into this header here

going to go into this header here

going to go into this header here so the reason this is tricky is because

so the reason this is tricky is because

so the reason this is tricky is because there's a number of multiple one and two

there's a number of multiple one and two

there's a number of multiple one and two pin

pin

pin cables which you're going to need to

cables which you're going to need to

cables which you're going to need to plug into various pins on this header

plug into various pins on this header

plug into various pins on this header so it's really important you refer to

so it's really important you refer to

so it's really important you refer to your motherboard manual to find out

careful with because of all the headers in the motherboard this is the one

in the motherboard this is the one

in the motherboard this is the one you're most likely to damage the pins

you're most likely to damage the pins

you're most likely to damage the pins so push it in gently if there's any

so push it in gently if there's any

so push it in gently if there's any resist and stop and line things up again

resist and stop and line things up again

resist and stop and line things up again because if you damage these pins

because if you damage these pins

because if you damage these pins the front ports in your case aren't

the front ports in your case aren't

the front ports in your case aren't going to work okay so just lining things

going to work okay so just lining things

going to work okay so just lining things up with the socket

up with the socket

up with the socket and a little bit of pressure and there

and a little bit of pressure and there

and a little bit of pressure and there we go that's

we go that's

we go that's clipped into place and then we'll just

clipped into place and then we'll just

clipped into place and then we'll just tuck the excess cable

tuck the excess cable

tuck the excess cable out the back okay so this is our usb

out the back okay so this is our usb

out the back okay so this is our usb type-c header

type-c header

type-c header so i'm just going to bring the cable

so i'm just going to bring the cable

so i'm just going to bring the cable through this cutout then it's just a

through this cutout then it's just a

through this cutout then it's just a matter of

the excess cable out the back okay last cable to plug in is this four

okay last cable to plug in is this four

okay last cable to plug in is this four pin fan cable coming from

pin fan cable coming from

pin fan cable coming from our fan hub and this is then going to

our fan hub and this is then going to

our fan hub and this is then going to allow the motherboard to control

allow the motherboard to control

allow the motherboard to control the speed of the fan hub so our

the speed of the fan hub so our

the speed of the fan hub so our motherboard has multiple fan headers it

motherboard has multiple fan headers it

motherboard has multiple fan headers it doesn't really matter which of them we

doesn't really matter which of them we

doesn't really matter which of them we plug it into

plug it into

plug it into i'm just going to go for this one down

i'm just going to go for this one down

i'm just going to go for this one down the bottom because it's in a good

the bottom because it's in a good

the bottom because it's in a good location

location

location so again we just need to line things up

so again we just need to line things up

so again we just need to line things up this cable will only go in one way round

this cable will only go in one way round

this cable will only go in one way round but there's little notches on the header

but there's little notches on the header

but there's little notches on the header and notches on the cable and then just a

and notches on the cable and then just a

and notches on the cable and then just a matter of pushing it

matter of pushing it

matter of pushing it into place and then tucking the excess

into place and then tucking the excess

into place and then tucking the excess cable out the back

cable out the back

cable out the back okay so that's all the case cables

okay so that's all the case cables

okay so that's all the case cables plugged in next thing for us to do is to

plugged in next thing for us to do is to

plugged in next thing for us to do is to go ahead and install our power supply

go ahead and install our power supply

go ahead and install our power supply and the big reason for doing that is if

and the big reason for doing that is if

and the big reason for doing that is if we were to go ahead and put

we were to go ahead and put

we were to go ahead and put more fans at the top or maybe a radiator

more fans at the top or maybe a radiator

more fans at the top or maybe a radiator at the top it can be much more difficult

at the top it can be much more difficult

at the top it can be much more difficult to get this additional power supply

to get this additional power supply

to get this additional power supply cable for the cpu

cable for the cpu

cable for the cpu plugged in so this is the reason i like

plugged in so this is the reason i like

plugged in so this is the reason i like to do the power supply at this stage

to do the power supply at this stage

to do the power supply at this stage okay this is our power supply and this

okay this is our power supply and this

okay this is our power supply and this is what we call a fully modular power

is what we call a fully modular power

is what we call a fully modular power supply

supply

first thing for us to do is to go ahead

first thing for us to do is to go ahead and get our fans onto the radiator so

and get our fans onto the radiator so

and get our fans onto the radiator so we've already decided we're going to

we've already decided we're going to

we've already decided we're going to have our fans exhausting her

have our fans exhausting her so the front of the fan is going to need

so the front of the fan is going to need

so the front of the fan is going to need to face into the case

to face into the case

to face into the case so they're going to go this way on the

so they're going to go this way on the

so they're going to go this way on the radiator the other important thing we're

radiator the other important thing we're going to want this cable coming out

going to want this cable coming out

going to want this cable coming out the back towards the back of the case so

the back towards the back of the case so

the back towards the back of the case so that's going to be the cables

that's going to be the cables

that's going to be the cables facing this way around so we'll put the

facing this way around so we'll put the

facing this way around so we'll put the second fan onto the radiator

so in the box we've got these long

so in the box we've got these long

so in the box we've got these long screws so there's just

screws so there's just

screws so there's just one in each corner

okay so we'll go ahead and tighten these

okay so we'll go ahead and tighten these

okay so we'll go ahead and tighten these up with a screwdriver important we don't

up with a screwdriver important we don't

up with a screwdriver important we don't want to over tighten these if we do

want to over tighten these if we do

want to over tighten these if we do there's a risk of causing noise by

there's a risk of causing noise by

there's a risk of causing noise by distorting the fan

distorting the fan

distorting the fan so it's just until it first goes tight

so it's just until it first goes tight

so it's just until it first goes tight is really all we want to do

okay coming from each of the fans we've

okay coming from each of the fans we've

okay coming from each of the fans we've got a four pin connector

got a four pin connector

got a four pin connector they're both going to need to go into

they're both going to need to go into

they're both going to need to go into the cpu fan header

the cpu fan header

the cpu fan header and that's why with the io you get a

and that's why with the io you get a

and that's why with the io you get a double fan splitter cable

double fan splitter cable

double fan splitter cable so all we need to do is plug that in

so all we need to do is plug that in

so all we need to do is plug that in it's only going to go around one way

it's only going to go around one way

it's only going to go around one way so we're now left with one connection

so we're now left with one connection

so we're now left with one connection from our fans which we can plug into our

from our fans which we can plug into our

from our fans which we can plug into our cpu

so now all we have to do is plug this

so now all we have to do is plug this

so now all we have to do is plug this sata connector into our power supply

sata connector into our power supply

sata connector into our power supply it's going to power our pump so it works

it's going to power our pump so it works

it's going to power our pump so it works and it's also going to power

and it's also going to power

and it's also going to power the led on the pump head importantly

the led on the pump head importantly

the led on the pump head importantly we're not going to have any control now

we're not going to have any control now

we're not going to have any control now over the speed of the pump it's going to

over the speed of the pump it's going to

over the speed of the pump it's going to run at 100

run at 100

run at 100 but that's not a problem i normally will

but that's not a problem i normally will

but that's not a problem i normally will run the pump at 100

run the pump at 100

run the pump at 100 and we will adjust the speed of the fans

and we will adjust the speed of the fans

and we will adjust the speed of the fans using the cpu fan header

using the cpu fan header

using the cpu fan header in the motherboard software okay one of

in the motherboard software okay one of

in the motherboard software okay one of the nice things about this case is the

the nice things about this case is the

the nice things about this case is the removable fan stroke radiator bracket

removable fan stroke radiator bracket

removable fan stroke radiator bracket for the top

for the top

for the top so we can go ahead and install this on

so we can go ahead and install this on

so we can go ahead and install this on the table which is much easier than

the table which is much easier than

the table which is much easier than doing it

doing it

doing it in the case so we want to use the

in the case so we want to use the

in the case so we want to use the shorter screws that come

shorter screws that come

shorter screws that come with the i o and again it's important we

with the i o and again it's important we

with the i o and again it's important we don't over tighten these so we don't

don't over tighten these so we don't

don't over tighten these so we don't damage the radiator

damage the radiator

damage the radiator so i'm just going to put them in loosely

so i'm just going to put them in loosely

so i'm just going to put them in loosely first of all

and i have lined the radiator up with

and i have lined the radiator up with

and i have lined the radiator up with this bracket

this bracket

this bracket in the case so i know that it's in the

in the case so i know that it's in the

in the case so i know that it's in the right place

right place

right place where i want the il to go in the case

where i want the il to go in the case

where i want the il to go in the case next we're going to need to replace the

next we're going to need to replace the

next we're going to need to replace the brackets for the stock cpu killer

brackets for the stock cpu killer

brackets for the stock cpu killer with the ones that came with our i o

with the ones that came with our i o

with the ones that came with our i o normally i would do this when i have the

normally i would do this when i have the

normally i would do this when i have the motherboard on the table

motherboard on the table

motherboard on the table for some reason today i forgot to do it

for some reason today i forgot to do it

for some reason today i forgot to do it but we still should be able to do it

but we still should be able to do it

but we still should be able to do it okay

okay

okay at this stage so it makes sense to

at this stage so it makes sense to

at this stage so it makes sense to remove one of these brackets

remove one of these brackets

remove one of these brackets at a time if we remove all four the back

at a time if we remove all four the back

at a time if we remove all four the back plate will fall out

plate will fall out

plate will fall out so if we just remove two the back pit

so if we just remove two the back pit

so if we just remove two the back pit should still stay in place

okay whatever you do don't throw these

okay whatever you do don't throw these

okay whatever you do don't throw these away

away

away if you change your cpu cutter in the

if you change your cpu cutter in the

if you change your cpu cutter in the future and or you sell your motherboard

future and or you sell your motherboard

future and or you sell your motherboard you're going to need these so the best

you're going to need these so the best

you're going to need these so the best place to keep these

place to keep these

place to keep these in your motherboard box next we need to

in your motherboard box next we need to

in your motherboard box next we need to put two of these little spacers

next we need to put this little bracket

next we need to put this little bracket

next we need to put this little bracket on it has two holes

on it has two holes

on it has two holes one of them is marked m4 so we need to

one of them is marked m4 so we need to

one of them is marked m4 so we need to put the screws through the one

put the screws through the one

put the screws through the one marked am4 which i've done now

marked am4 which i've done now

marked am4 which i've done now i can then lower the screws down through

i can then lower the screws down through

i can then lower the screws down through the spacers

and we can go ahead and screw this into

and we can go ahead and screw this into

and we can go ahead and screw this into place

okay just the same process with the

okay just the same process with the

okay just the same process with the other side

okay next we can go ahead and slide the

okay next we can go ahead and slide the

okay next we can go ahead and slide the bracket back into the case

bracket back into the case

bracket back into the case so just line things up on both sides

so just line things up on both sides

so just line things up on both sides and push the bracket in we can then go

and push the bracket in we can then go

and push the bracket in we can then go ahead and secure it back in place with

ahead and secure it back in place with

ahead and secure it back in place with the two screws we removed at the start

the two screws we removed at the start

the two screws we removed at the start next thing to do is to plug the cable

next thing to do is to plug the cable

next thing to do is to plug the cable coming from the two fans on the radiator

one directly to the right

one directly to the right of it is the pump header we're obviously

of it is the pump header we're obviously

of it is the pump header we're obviously not going to need to use it because our

not going to need to use it because our

not going to need to use it because our pump is powered by sata

pump is powered by sata

pump is powered by sata but most ios will be powered by this

but most ios will be powered by this

but most ios will be powered by this header so first of all i'm just going to

header so first of all i'm just going to

header so first of all i'm just going to bring the excess cable

bring the excess cable

bring the excess cable out the back of the case

and then i'm going to line things up

okay that looks about right

just before we install the water block

just before we install the water block

just before we install the water block it's important we go ahead and remove

it's important we go ahead and remove

it's important we go ahead and remove the plastic protection

okay so we just need to line things up

okay so we just need to line things up

okay so we just need to line things up with the bracket we installed earlier on

and then it's just a matter of

and then it's just a matter of

and then it's just a matter of tightening the two screws

so a few turns up one

and then a few turns or the other

and that way we don't apply too much

and that way we don't apply too much

and that way we don't apply too much pressure to one side
