Subject: Newbie Question about Motherboard Installation

OK, I was typing while Ray62 was posting, but I'll put the cooler/fan on too before installing in the case.
I agree that it would be optimum to test it outside of the case, but this case does look big enough that if there is a problem it should be possible to work on. What I'm thinking is I'll have the case laying on the side, so the motherboard is horizontal during installation and testing.

Connect the PSU, Monitor and test, if you can go to the bios, loading defaults and restart. Then switch off, unplug the PSU and install the drive (M2 or SATA HDD), where you want to place your OS. ... Believe me, if there will be problems with the setup/installation, it is more easy to deal with as if everything is in the case and nothing works... |
