The PCMR community has been extremely helpful throughout this entire process thus far. Thanks, guys. There's a logic board everything's connected to, so I'm assuming I won't be plugging anything into the chassis fan headers for the intake fans.

Okay, so today I got the last part needed to build my PC. I'm hooking up the front I/O and everything's going good. Then I get to the cables for the chassis fans. Coolermaster supplied my Masterbox 5 Pro RGB with several fans, all hooked up to a logic board. The cables hook up to an adapter that lets you power all three from a single connector. The problem with it? The connector doesn't fit. I've looked at pictures of other people's boards, and it would appear the end of the connector is...wrong. My board is an ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero. I haven't had any problems with it so far, despite being early on in the build process. Also, I did make note of the Molex cable that (I think) hooks the chassis fans up to the PSU as well. It only has two pins. Is that normal? Have any of you ever come across this? If so, what should I do?

So, I got my case and now I'm at a point where I've done some digging, and I have one question: How do I install the standoffs? I've heard that you need a hex driver, but I'm reluctant to buy kits because I have next to no way to guarantee they'll contain the driver I need, and money. Some people say that the driver should've come with the case, but mine didn't. What's the best way to go about installing standoffs? Edit: How is this in air cooling? ?

Thank you for this. I don't go on forums often asking for advice (in software development, there's a 50% chance a flamewar will ensue) but I've seen nothing but good so far from the PC enthusiast community so far. You have done two things I normally don't get from people: Given a clear answer, with evidence to back it up, and Given a recommendation based on the current scenario. Well done!

Yeah, no. If I wanted that, I'd go to Walmart and pick up a $200 ghetto Acer netbook. I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not buying high-end parts for no reason. I might consider doing some experimentation with the Rust programming language (8 cores on the Ryzen 7 1800X), and maybe even Unreal Engine 4 development as a learning project for game development on the Nintendo Switch. That said, some things on ROG Crosshair Hero VI, like the switch for liquid nitrogen cooling, won't be used for obvious reasons - if I were trying to set a record for OC or something it could be a different story.

I live in Ohio, USA. I know people from everywhere come here lol. I'm technically in one of the rustbelt-ish areas, so it's not like I can walk to my nearest parts shop, because they don't really exist. The shops that DO exist here don't sell parts, they order parts for repairs. Scrapyard Wars would not be too great of an idea for where I'm at lmfao

So, my friend, who also built with this case, told me that some coolers end up covering the two DIMM slots closest to the processor if I'm not careful. He said he didn't know why anyone would want to use all four, but that prompted me to do some research. I haven't fully decided yet on what to get tho.

I worded that wrong. I'm a programmer and want this so that compile times are far less, as well as moderate gaming, but whether or not a custom-built desktop is worth it for that purpose is a debate for another day.
-
Yeah, my bad I'll cop to it: I didn't realize that it could open that way until I watched this: The only thing I should be concerned about I guess is the lack of ventilation, but I don't plan on overclocking - if I do another build in the future, I might buy a case and other components that have that in mind. I just need something better than a laptop lol
-
It does not. It has ONE tempered glass panel with two thumb screws. The other side is entirely metal. It's actually sitting right in front of me as I type this.

Because apparently some coolers are big enough to cover RAM slots. How many slots does your mobo have, and is it a standard ATX, or an mATX?

Hi all! I'm new here, but I've been watching LTT for the longest time. I'm finally in a position where I have the money to spend on a desktop. I want to have all four RAM slots available in this build, so before I buy a cooler, I need to figure out the proper cooler size and which one to buy. I know this is a commonly asked question, but every build is different, especially in this regard. It's a Ryzen build, so of course the cooler also needs to be able to support AM4. I have the mobo and case already. I'll also add in the RAM for reference. The names of them are: Asus - ROG Crosshair VII Hero (Wi-Fi) ATX AM4 Motherboard Cooler Master - MasterBox Pro 5 RGB ATX Mid Tower Case (Buying two sets) Kingston - Savage 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Info on the case: My friend had a previous gen Masterbox Pro and had the impression that this one had two removable side panels. This one only has one. The dimensions of the case are 19.7 x 8.7 x 18.7 in If anyone has some suggestions on a compact cooler that will fit in the case, keep the system running strong, and allow me to use all four RAM slots, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
