Can I turn on my pc right now?

*looks into the thread*

...

*see's a person who has built a dual socket box, yet thought their SSD was also RAM and didn't know that heat sinks would be necessary*

*flips over a table and leaves the thread*

Its my first pc build, please help.

 

Guys, i'm running into another problem. The manual says that I need to put this metal plate in the back of mother board but there are no slots to put screws or standouts, the back of motherboard has no holes at all.

Those backplates are for use with other socket types. The 2011 v3 sockets on your motherboard do not require the backplates.

Thank you!!!!

 

I Have another question, how do I move from lga 775 to lga 2011?

 

The screw stucks at this current position, I tried it with a screw  driver but its not working. Any idea?

Ok, just managed to do it myself, all I did just pushed it with a little force from under?

You're motherboard manual bro. This is very concerning man, you obviously are lacking some basic PC skills so go forward with much caution.

 

Also, you may not get video output or good quality atleast, I do not know of the quality of the iGPU of xeons

GOOD LUCK

thats a good point. xeons lack igpus, so if the mobo doesnt come with integrated graphics (which i highly doubt it will), there will be no video output

You'll also need a graphics card, Xeons don't have iGPUs, a word of advice though"
 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE RESEARCH BEFORE BUILDING A PC!!!!

Dual Xeons ($1,600 each) what made you decide to buy 2 of them, just curious 

 

What kind of workload are you dealing with

t'was as I though, but xeons are a realm very few of us not dare to venture. except of course first time builders

Wow what a scary thread. This is a nail biter. Hope it works out.

This is how I feel about this build along with the builder:

When I read that and imagined what would happen if he didn't. I got a rush of adrenaline.

I just want to close this chrome tab but I can't. Perhaps if we turned this into a movie. It would be a real horror movie for PC builders.

Sound's like an insanely fun project.

Technically, you can turn your machine on at any point after the mobo power connector is connected to the power supply. 

That said, you shouldn't. Without RAM your machine won't POST, and without a heatsink your processor probably won't last through the boot process.

Please listen to everyone posting here. I don't want to add input because I've only build one pc and I'm 100% positive these guys/gals can help you. I am also very concern about your knowledge on computer building and don't want your beautiful baby end up not working.

watch LinusTechTips videos and figure it out. 

Those are basic skills in building a PC..
