[kilvehk]

the motherboard is a asus p5q premium btw and the case is a corsair c70 vengance

Newegg on youtube have a really good guide on how to set it up

Does everything fit in the slots where you didn't have to force it?

Computer parts are designed such that they won't fit in the wrong way. Just make sure the little triangle on the CPU matches up with the one on the board, and that it has a good connection with the heatsink. I bought a new heatsink once that didn't even touch the processor worthless.

Now on the RAM, I can't tell how you've got it setup, but with dual-channel you want to try and keep identical sticks (same speed/size) in each channels (which is why you by in packs of 2 or 4). If you only have 2 sticks, make sure they are both in the first channel, looks like yellow would be the one.

For the USB thing, maybe this'll help:

lol so now i need an adapter on the adapter?


all im doing is moving things from 1 case to another so that was the easy bit now im confused by the wires everything ive done so far fits correctly but idk if it actually needs to be there for ex theres 2 cables coming from that big bit that plugs into the motherboard

the cable on the case is like like what that adaper you showed is however i one on the case is to wide for the slot on the motherboard

[McSwindler]

That should be the adapter the case came with, the small end will fit on the motherboard, the large end hooks up to the case's USB leads.

[kilvehk]

except that the adapter doesnt fit because it changes from an ss usb plug to the usb 3.0 and the motherboard doesnt have slots that fit either one

There should be a diagram in the manual if you still have it.

And I'm really confused about the USB situation o.O

[kilvehk]

i dont have the manual but i found an attachment from the old case that plugs into that white bit and tells you very clearly how to attach them problem is now its not detecting the hard drives

[kilvehk]

just got back from pc outlet ....the verdict..... i did everything right and theres nothing i can do about the usb apparently if i try to use a adapter it will simply say the device failed

[McSwindler]

that sucks, guess you gotta buy a USB 3.0 mobo now XD

[kilvehk]

nope he can just use the ones on the back its up and running now got it working

[DJ Phox]

glad to see you got most of it working. usually pc's are pretty easy to assemble... bit eaiser when all parts are new (and whoever bought them knows what's buying) cause then everything fits right.

[kilvehk]

yeah if i had bought all the bits and bobs it wouldnt have been to much of an issue i just didnt have any paperwork to reference so it was a bit wtf
