The mobo instructions are fairly easy. Well mine was :) Explained the correct order to put stuff in and how to do it. I used it in conjunction with the actual parts instructions. Except the CPU, because it didn't come with one (OEM). Altough I did end up removing and resitting the GPU about 4 times!

Well, I know how it all goes together and in what order its just this mobo has so many features its unreal, it even has its own onboard OS so I don't even have to boot windows to surf the web or talk on msn, skype or to view pictures

Nodz isn't your licence key fairly viewable on that Windows OEM box?

[Iced_Bullet]

If I remember correctly, the key's on the inside, within the case ...

well the pics now gone.

 

Update for you all, started properly about 11:30 and its still not done, its lucky it isn't down the other end of the garden

 

Put most of it together and done a pre run checks and runs fine (cpu, fans, ram, gpu, psu). putting it in the case is a nightmare, the size of the cpu means the usbs and phono jacks on top of the case have to come out. and the case being this easy to put together with no tools is a load of [enter word of choice]. So haveing a break and hopefully its now just a case of plugging stuff in

Can I ask, why did you build it outside of the case first? xD

 

Or was to test everything fitted?

 

Looks good, I'm sure the CPU cooler will do fine :p It's massive!

To test the components as its pointless putting it all in and finding out it didnt work. All i had to do after was unplug the gpu and psu and the monitor and keyboard, it was also to run the bios and to see if i had a stable cpu temp to make sure i done the paste right.

 

The cpu fan is, theres 3mm gap between it and the side fan on the case
