It looks lined up correctly, and if you made sure no metal pieces from the I/O shield are sticking into a USB port or anything, you should be good to go with screwing it in

Is this pcie cable ok? Is it missing something in one of the holes?

 

That's normal 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Thanks man. I tested it with a usb and I think I have the motherboard installed correctly. Psu is in there as well but cant fit the pcie cable through the hole to hide the cables on the backside of the board. Now im trying to install the hdd but the case doesnt seem to Come with a support bracket... unless im missing something it comes with "radiator brackets" and some screws but the screw holes on the hdd dont line up with it so

Your case should come with screws that you can use on the bottom of the HDD, you can then slot it vertically in one of those screw holes in the back plate.

So now I need to plug in the fans from the case. But the cables have 2 ends. Which one do I plug in? Also there are 4 pins on the motherboard, but 3 holes in the fan cables. Incompatible?

Well, you are right! But it seems that i cant fit the cable then, since the case is in the way. Upside down would fix that, but the hdd doesnt fit that way. I guess i will Just need to buy a support bracket

Okay so I think I have everything installed and plugged in correctly...

 

If I didnt and I try to power it on, can I damage anything?

Looks good from the picture.

Give it a try.

Oh man it actually boots! typing from the pc right now. But I still have more questions, like my headset not connecting to the usb-c dongel and some questions about hwinfo readings. But I will make a new thread for that.

For devices that you can't make work, make sure to head to the motherboard manufacturer's website for the board to download drivers. Best drivers to get are USB, LAN, and audio

 

I also just noticed that your ram is in the "wrong" slots, but if they are running properly at their rated speed there is no reason to change them

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Yeah I made another post about that. I didnt get xmp to work, but switching ram to A2 and B2 fixed that issue
