I'm preparing your PC build but feeling more anxious than usual. The motherboard already has the CPU and cooler installed. You're trying to position it but aren't sure about the placement. Adding a picture can help verify alignment. Are you ready to move forward with the screws?

Check the PCIe cable carefully. Look for any gaps or missing parts in the connectors.

Everything appears properly aligned, and as long as no metal components from the I/O shield are entering a USB port, you should be all set. That’s the usual outcome.

Hey there. I checked it using a USB and believe the motherboard is set up right. The PCIe slot is present, though the PSCI isn’t reaching through the hole to tuck the cables behind the board. Installing the HDD is tricky because the case doesn’t have a built-in support bracket—unless there’s something missing, it mentions “radiator brackets” and screws, but the holes on the HDD don’t match them.

The unit should include screws for attaching it to the bottom of the HDD. You can then insert it upright into the corresponding holes on the back plate.

You should connect the fans correctly by matching their ends. The motherboard has 3 holes for the fan pins, so you’ll need to align them properly. The cables have two ends, so make sure you plug the correct one into the right port. It shouldn’t be an issue as long as you follow the pin layout.

Connect the 3-pin fan to a 4-pin header

You're correct, but it looks like the cable isn't fitting because the case blocks it. Turning it upside down might help, though the HDD won't fit that way. I think I'll have to purchase a support bracket.

It’s good to double-check. If you don’t connect properly or power it on incorrectly, there could be risks like overheating or electrical faults. Always ensure proper installation and testing before use.

The image appears clear. Let's give it a shot.
