PLEASE HELP

Holy **** I opened way too many things. Got a little too ambitious and am now frantically watching youtube videos on what to do first.

So I do an external build first right? Do I need to attach a monitor or can I just listen for a beep w/ the speaker? If I don't need a monitor can I wait on installing the video card?

For the external build should I mount the H100 backplate first before installing the cpu? Does it matter how I orient the H100?

Does it matter what ram slots I occupy? I checked the manual on my mobo and it doesn't say anything about that.

Do I need to instal a cpu cooler for the external test boot or is it not necessary because it will only be on for like 20 seconds?

The H100 backplate has a layer of plastic on it, do i remove that or is it there for a reason? I ask because the plastic is under the mounting holes and I can't see a way I would remove it.

So I do an external build first right?
It's not strictly necessary but it's an easy way to make sure everything works before you assemble it into a case. It's good for a first time build, but if you're confident and careful you can just start assembling into the case so you don't have to later.

Do I need to attach a monitor or can I just listen for a beep w/ the speaker?
While you can listen for a beep, attaching a monitor is still better so you can see in case it says something. However this isn't even 100% necessary. What I suggest though is hooking everything up and going ahead with installing Windows just to make sure it all functions beyond just POST and BIOS.

If I don't need a monitor can I wait on installing the video card?
If you don't plan to use the monitor you can skip the video card for now. If you install into the case off the bat then just install the card and monitor because you're going to eventually.

For the external build should I mount the H100 backplate first before installing the cpu? Does it matter how I orient the H100?
Install the CPU first, because once you do that you can pretty much leave it there, though it doesn't really matter. Just don't fiddle with the board without either the CPU in the socket or the protector in the socket.

Does it matter what ram slots I occupy? I checked the manual on my mobo and it doesn't say anything about that.
If you have one stick of RAM, use the blue slot closest to the CPU socket (DIMM_A2). For two sticks use the two blue slots (DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2). For four sticks it's obvious wink.gif

The H100 backplate has a layer of plastic on it, do i remove that or is it there for a reason?
Leave it. It prevents your board from shorting out.

The backplate doesn't seem to fit through the holes on my motherboard. Do I just need to keep adjusting it? It's really difficult because I'm trying to be really gentle with the motherboard :S never mind i got it.


btw thank you Lemon smile.gif

yes carefully adjust the bolt holes by sliding them until they line up with the mobo holes....what case is that?

Does it matter how I orient the radiator? I know most people have the cables that come down from the radiator at the back. I was just wondering because the routing seems like it would be more friendly if the cords/hoses came down at the front of the case (because the hoses are attached to the right side of the unit.)

Is it really necessary to install both fans on the radiator for the test boot?
