Build Your Own - Step by Step ( i7 2600k)

At this time I have set aside the case and moved on to the motherboard and unpacked it

 

I use vinyl tight fitting gloves to handle the motherboard and cpu to avoid static and hand oils.
Out of the package now

 

Although the Antec P183 case has a cutout for the motherboard in the back to access rear of board, I decided it would be easier to mount the CoolMaster Hyper 212+ at this timeto the MB for easy handling so I have also unpacked the cooler.

 

Turned the MB on its face to access back for the mounting plate of the cooler

 

aligning the mounting plate of the cooler to the holes in the MB for the CPU

 

Getting a dry fit run through to check the cooler and its fitting to the surroundings on the board. Will install the cpu and get the cooler installed after all checks out well.


No it's not your imagination lol, this cooler is massive !

Tiki, looks like you've done this before. Again, great thread! Much appreciated!

Can't wait to see this setup up and running!

Btw, this thread should be a sticky. Got questions? Tiki has pics!

 

Ok back again. Had to step out for a bit.

I will be installing the i7 2600k into the motherboard and then finish the Coolmaster hyper212+ install.

To substitute videos that I would have liked to have done I have found you tube videos that are relative. They will be in addition to images of the actual step by step build.

Here is a great video of what is being done at this time. I will then have images up.
Thanks for the great feedback. ET is a great place to share for sure
