Thanks Hiya, but you missed the most important question I asked. Try some good BBQ and chill.

The_Big_Grape so far so good the fans are working and the temperatures where they should be. Like you said if it works it works. Thanks again

Heat sink question. I have a recycled CPU heat sink/fan combo, Dell.  The back plate on the recycled heat sink/fan holes are being obstructed by the motherboards CPU locking mechanism plate, three screws on the back side.  The back plate of the recycled plate won’t fit properly because of this. What I did was drill out the three hole, making them bigger so the plate would sit somewhat properly. I was able to mount the fan/heat sink, with a little effort. Anything wrong with this other than the obvious, buying a new fan/heat sink? Thanks

I really want to thank everyone who helped me through my new build. Your advised kept me out of trouble. 
 
To my surprise all the components I salvaged from my damaged computers worked. I actually have enough parts to build a second one? The m.2 SSD I used had the operating system from the old computer and it booted to windows correctly. Only problem was the user name and password that I forgot. Solved that after a fashion. I even installed a 16GB optane and it recognized it. The new MSI motherboard software is amazing even though I don’t understand half of it. I only used the integrated graphics. Now to research a new one for Video streaming and light gaming and a few other components. 
 
Again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No they are not all gel filled. Your best bet is to research a company that sells this type cable and there are many. As stated by the op make sure it’s solid copper, gauge size is also important. What ever you do Don't get the cheapest cable out there. Buy the best and do it once. 

Tintax can’t help you at this moment but I purchased that same case and it will be delivered Tuesday this week. I’ll let you know what’s in it when it arrives.

Ramen excellent! I make my own fresh ramen noodles. So many thing you can do with Ramen noodles. Good choice. Hope you help me out when I post my build. Just got my first new piece a EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 and only $59.00 after rebates. Should have the rest of the parts by Tuesday.
