Have I learned how to build a PC? I just typed this ⬇️

[WestTexan]

My final parts are coming today and I want to know if my steps to put together my PC are wrong 

 

 1.Put ram in dimm 2 and 4  

 

2.Cpu in socket, put the lever down  

 

3.Nvme SSD in m.2 slot  

 

4.Insert PSU in case and screw 4 screws into the case, all my psu cables are already in the psu  

 

5.Put motherboard in case,screw it in 

 

6.PSU CPU cable into mobo  

 

7.Screw in my HDD and SATA SSD into its slots on the case and plug in SATA cables + power cables from PSU 

 

 8.Insert 24 pin motherboard psu cable in  

 

9.Insert case cables into the motherboard and case fans into motherboard   

 

10.Install Deepcool AK400 tower cpu cooler,plug its fan into cpu_fan on mobo 

 

 11.Install GPU + psu cable for it    

 

12.Final Cable management 

 

13. Turn on PC and pray that there are no problems

i would assemble mainboard, cpu, gpu , psu and cooler outside..  and test start it outside to check that everything works. 

the only problem then is that the cooler is mounted already, it will be a bit more tricky to put it in the case unless you ordered thermal paste too. as you shouldn't reuse it.

 

sucks to have built it and it don't work..

Okay, number 1 should be read the manual (or atleast read it as your going along).

Also, there isn't really a set order that works best for every build. Usually the best order is determined by the parts you have and the obstructions they are likely to create. For example, in smaller cases it's usually best to plug the 24 pin and cpu power into the motherboard before installing it in the case (turned off of course)

I usually install the cooler before I install the motherboard into the case because I have found it easier than trying to install the cooler after the motherboard is in the case unless it's a fairly big case. Usually having the motherboard in the case makes it incredibly cramped when trying to do things. Granted that is for air coolers not AIO which are usually incredibly easy to install after the motherboard is installed in the case.

i normaly put the case sideways after mounting psu and having all the cables come out the middle and mount motherboard

then cables

then ram

then cpu

then cooler

then gpu

 

double check all cables

 

cable manage

 

turn on pc
