here u can see the first 2 problems

1. i installed the motherboard correctly? i had 7 holes on the motherboard. only 6 of them actually connected to the case- and the case had 9 screw holes.
2. the ram should be at the black slot of grey slot?it said 1234 so i place on 1 and 2

here u can see my main problem!

3. i cant install the fans without damaging the ram slot, and couldn't  manage to place the ram when i installed the fans before the ram., idk how i should place it that the ram and the fans will both be fine.

Did you check the case before you mounted the motherboard? Most cases will have numbering for each mounting hole and which holes to use for what size motherboard. So make sure that's correct. If it isn't mounted correctly, then that will be the source of your problems. And your RAM looks to be installed correctly.

 

Make sure you have read all of the manuals carefully

If the rear I/O fit to the rear I/O shield, the motherboard should be ok, even though it doesn't use all the screw holes.

 

The Arc Midi R2 has very tight space for radiator mount on top. Some motherboards will fit, some don't. In your case, maybe they need to remove some material from the fans in order to fit. Or I believe the case has different mounting holes on top. You can move the radiator and give more room to the motherboard.

 

Socket 2011 has 2 levers for CPU. Socket 1150(z97 motherboard) has only 1.

Your Motherboard is different from the one shown in the other set of pictures shown, that's why the fans fit on the other person's build. The ram is located in another position which allows access to the screws unlike your motherboard where the ram slots block the area where your fan screw holes are. If you look closely you can see that the other persons ram fits in between the 2 screw holes on the fan, or at least don't fit as closely.

is your h100 offset away from the mobo? because you should be able to fit it just fine.

yup , i checked it, like 100 times,

and i read all the manuals but there was noting about it..

the i\o shield fits

what do u mean to remove some material?

i can place it only in 2 places - where its now or a bit into the drive bays but itll block them (and idk if the ram problem will be ok)

oh so my motherboard is fine i guess

so i need to change my motherboard , and ram? there is no way?

what do u mean?

what do u mean?

its like at the only place its can be.

is your h100 centered in the case from left to right, or is it off centered to the left away from the mobo?
