Installing the Corsair memory
This is simple. Just insert memory into the mb according to the notch in the bottom of memory stick .

I will be installing two - 4 gb sticks according to the MB config.
The will be placed into slots A2 and B2

 

Memory installed in A2 and B2 slots

 

Making sure all connections are complete for sata to the MB

 

Connecting remaining case fan molex connectors for fans and cleaning all wires up. Wrapping this up now and giving the interior a nice open air flow.

Again, only one video card is installed at this time just for the boot up and to install the OS. After OS and all necessary drivers and utilities are installed, I will install the remaining video cards.

 

Ok, here is a look at the cable management section in the back of case behind the motherboard. These wires will get tidy now. Picture all these wires running inside the case . You have to have patience to really run it neatly if inside.
Time to clean this a little with the provided wire ties and get the cover back on rear of case.

 

Ok back of case has been placed on after rear panel wiring was cleaned up.
All wiring inside looks good and neat.
The hardware part of this build is complete at this time.
Additional video cards to be installed.
I may add other parts to this build in the future, but a the time I plan on running it as it is currently built with addition of vid cards.


That's a wrap for this part of the build and it has been a blast. It was really fun posting it step by step.


I will post the boot up next getting in to the bios.

Let's see this thing fire up !
