the fan is definitely in all the way; i confirmed by checking the back of hte mobo as shown in the manual (you can see the pins flush with the receptors on the back side).
TIM? if that's the thermal compound stuff, i used this:
Arctic Silver AA-1.75G Thermal Compound - Retail

yes those are all done right. i do have one concern about hte aux input. my psu supplied a 4+4 jumper for versatility; well the right half matches up with the mobo in terms of square or contoured connections (hopefully that makes sense). the left half on the mobo has 2 square and 2 contoured connections, but hte left half of hte psu jumper has 4 countoured connections. it still clicked in just fine. is this something to worry about?

I went to turn the computer on and it would not boot up, so I hooked that up and I heard it click in the slot, so then I pushed the power button and it came on with no hassle. Also make sure you have the cpu fan in the right connector slot on the motherboard, there is alot of identical slots on the motherboard but the cpu fan connector slot is right beside the cpu on the top of the motherboard. |

audio right under the cpu? you mean towards the back where the peripherals connect, right?
and this is all i hooked up from my case:
Power Switch
Reset Switch
Hard Drive Activity LED
Audio
my power led has a 3pin jumper and i need to use a 2pin with this mobo. i didnt bother hooking up my front (case) usb's or temp monitor or anything.

I believe they are there incase needed for different motherboards/setups. The only thing needed to be hooked up on that motherboard is of course the on board connectors for the power switch and etc,the 12v 2x4 connector, the cpu fan,the onboard audio connector right under the cpu, the 24v power connector,the usb connector for your case usb. I believe that is all that is required, I just opened my case to check and that is all that is hooked up in mine. I looked for those leds you was telling me about and I do not even see none of them lit up on my motherboard, dont know if they only boot up during boot or what but they are not lit on my motherboard. |

ya, with my hdd's and case fan connected it was restarting about every 20 seconds or less, not even giving me enough time to navigate bios. so i really doubt i can boot it up. (last night i stuck just one hdd in after it seemed more stable with nothing extra conencted, and i couldnt get it to boot because it kept restarting on me).
Originally Posted by bedrockhorror yea that doesnt matter for boot up or anything. Yes the audio is right beside the peripherals yes, sorry for the mis-understanding. The question about faulty psu, is I don't believe its a faulty psu, because the fan on the psu would not come on at all or it would not boot up at all if it was a faulty psu. Have you tryed hooking up everything and trying to see if you can get into safe mode with your hdd connected, you said with the hdd connected it restarted faster than it did without it. |

Make sure none of this has gotten on the CPU pins or Mobo. Although Aritic Silver says the product has no electrical conductivity in their spec sheet, they also warn in their application procedure that getting in these places can create electrical problems... so go figure.
