My first shot installing CPU

[sandronejm]

It will be my first installation of a functional CPU/Motherboard, the Intel Alder Lake i7 12700K and Asus Z690-M D4 (Micro ATX).

 

I had played install/remove a processor from a old motherboard non functional. I think I can do this, I am just waiting the moment.

 

I had to return my PSU as you guys here recommended me get a Gold 80 Plus than my Bronze 80 Plus. So I need to wait this arrive to me build my setup.

 

Another question: Motherboard Power cables are three Right? One with 10more Pin, second with like 8 Pin and other with like 2 or 4, is it right? Should you plug all of them?

a youtube guide will be very useful for you, visual representations are the best for these things in my opinion

motherboard has 24 pin connector and usually a 4+4 pin for CPU power. The GPU has a 6+2 connector

Yup, that's my question.

On Asus manual, it says: 

1. 24 PIN.

2. 4+4 PIN OR 4+4 PIN AND 2+2 PIN.

 

So, there are three or two? Because it says OR / AND.

Which PSU did you end up with? 80+ ratings speak to efficiency, not quality. Corsair, Lite On and beQuiet (and others) make some solidly built 80+ Bronze PSUs good for most applications, and Logisys makes (or used to) an 80+ Gold arson box.

You're good. I'll shut up now. Just wanted to make sure you'd actually upgraded when you dropped all that on a Gold unit, and...you did.
