If the new PC component products are available, the next step is to assemble the PC. This is the interesting part, and also the most rewarding, if the system is running, all credits to you!
Essential Tools needed:
1) A screwdriver (cross-shaped)
Optional Recommended Products:
1) Torchlight (For the illumination of difficult to see)
2) anti-static wrist strap (in order to discharge static electricity)
Let's start now. First,Get yourself of static electricity by touching the metal case or attack the other side of the wrist strap to the metal housing.
1) Open the case
2) Install the motherboard
Find the motherboard standoffs that should come with the case. Insert the I / O Shield that came with the motherboard. Now locate the screw holes on the motherboard and find the corresponding holes on the motherboard plate (or tray) in the case. Put a standoff in each of these holeson the tray and position the motherboard so you can see the holes in the top of the spacer through the holes on the motherboard. Now fix a screw in each of the screw holes in the spacers under the motherboard. These screws must be tight but not tight. With the motherboard, we can now start adding in other components.
3) Install the CPU.
As I said, go to the processor (CPU) and motherboard hand in hand, then you should spend some 'timePlanning and search for what you really want and buy compatible CPU / motherboard components, such as the importance of buying the right size shoes for themselves. Being a system upgrade at least, you can save up quite well through the reuse of other components, I suggest you build a better system implementation so that it can serve for many years.
Before installation, read the instruction manual of the motherboard / CPU that came with attention, understand the different parts andthe installation diagrams before proceeding. Then again, it is very difficult, with just 3 easy steps to success.
1 Step to success: Install the CPU
I'm going with Intel socket 775 as an illustration of how to use the latest version so far.
-Remove the protective cover of the new socket connector to protect the pins
-Open the lever and lift the metal cover to install the CPU
-While carefully holding the CPU at the edges, find the notch in one corner andMeeting with the socket. Slowly the CPU into the socket before lowering the metal door and close lever to secure the CPU.
2 Step to Success: Do not install the CPU cooler
If you want a cool place to enjoy some air conditioning when you're hot, you can tell the CPU that you just installed. We need the heat generated by the CPU, so it does not overheat and fry disperse.
Get hold of some thermal paste, I recommendyou apply it evenly on the surface of the CPU for better heat conductivity and dissipation. (Note: Intel ® Boxed come with built-in thermal solutions already, and therefore needs no extra effort)
-Align the heatsink on the CPU socket, oriented with the fan cable to the fan the next feeding, and the possible involvement.
Press-on caps with thumb to install and lock. Repeat with the other 3 screws.
Step 3Success: Turn off the heat sink
This is achieved by connecting the cable from point 2 is CPU_FAN connector on the motherboard, that runs very close to the CPU. Tie the excess cable to prevent interference with a fan or other components.
Congratulations, when finished, if the rest is easy enough already =)
4) Installing Memory
With a new motherboard and a faster processor, then we will need more RAM (Random Access Memory) to facilitate andTo facilitate these services faster. Again, you should spend time planning and research of memory, bringing compatibility with your new CPU and motherboard have the best overall performance. To install the RAM modules you need the clips on each side of the memory slots resolved. Align the RAM module into the socket, depending on the memory chips and memory slots indent, which is located right on the view direction. Press the memory modulerefasten until both clips and hear a click. To change the memory, simply press the two clips at the same time, and the RAM is easy to backtrack.
TIP: Begin by adding RAM slot labeled "Bank 0" or "DIMM 1". If not, the system will think that there is no available memory and wont boot.
TIP: For newer systems, appear HyperTransport technology, have pushed the ability to dual channel memory slots using two rods with the same alternative memory(For example:. Slot 1 or Slot 2 & 3 and 4, which are often differentiated by color) This has been shown to increase performance as well.
After installing the new motherboard / CPU and memory, have already finished installing the new essential that you have purchased. YEAH! Now just have to migrate the remaining items from your old PC to "Brand New" PC. =)
5) Install the power supply
This is a fixture at the top of the case, if you can mount the power supply,and the power to fix it with screws. ATX power connector, power connector ATX_12V IDE connector, and FDD power connector: Power supply will consist of the following connections. Ensure assigned to 20 or 24 pin ATX connector and insert it into the feed slot on the motherboard. It can also be an additional four or eight pin power cable on the motherboard, which are inserted, which must usually be located near the processor socket. Vantage for double-confirm with the motherboard manualfor further details.
TIP: You want to consider, perhaps, a new power supply, the minimum rating of 300W, so that all future updates you have in mind to help.
TIP: You must choose the correct settings for the power supply (115V or 220V), depending on the country setting. With newer power supplies, features automatic detection so it is not a problem at all.
6) Install the floppy / hard drive / DVD burner
Floppy disks, hard drives and DVD-ROM / authors to communicatewith the CPU via data lines commonly referred to as FDD / IDE cables, even if newer hard drives connected via SATA cables hours for faster data transmission.
Note: FDD cable for floppy drives are smaller and fewer wires.
Note: The use of multiple hard drives if you plan on using multiple hard drives, you need to adjust settings on multiple hard drives to inform the computer system, which is the main hard drive and the other support / additional discs. If not done properly, theSystem can become confused, and the hard drive can not boot at all. Read these simple instructions on how to distinguish the surface of the hard drive for the correct way to position the jumper as between the master unit (main OS) and slaves (other files / documents) are shown. This statement may vary between different manufacturers of hard drives. This configuration should be done before inserting the IDE cable.
Take, first remove the front frame of the computer and the 5.25 "disk-likeThen expose the front of the DVD. Similarly, I do it for the floppy drive. Insert the IDE cable to the floppy / hard disk / DVD data port view of the orientation of the notch in the middle, so to put in the right direction. The remaining connectors are connected to the motherboard. Then to power the drive by inserting the 4-pin Molex power connector from the power supply to step 5 for each disk drive and optical. For the floppy drive, power4-pin connector in a row, but significantly lower than that of the hard drive. Must be aware to take the focus and power connection.
Final to ensure all hard drives and optical drives with screws before attaching the lid on top.
TIP: We recommend that the IDE hard drive can be connected to the IDE connector 1 and optical devices to connect to the IDE port 2. Up to two IDE devices to the IDE connector. If you have multiple IDE hard drives, you must enter the BIOS laterand their starting order set accordingly.
7) Install the video card
For older motherboards, we usually see, used AGP graphics card on the AGP socket, which are often installed in brown. With the new systems, PCI Express graphics cards are often used to improve the performance of data transfer performance and resolution. Both AGP and PCI Express can be easily identified and is usually right next to the CPU.
Now insert the cardslot with some force, and make sure it is fully inserted with no protruding edges, before screwing the top of the metal bracket. If you have a power supply, connect it with a 4-pin Molex connectors.
8) the remaining internal links
-Connect the audio cable from the DVD to the motherboard CD_IN port (if necessary)
-Connect the power / reset switches and signal indicators (these external lights flashing) F_PANEL connector on the motherboard. (That is:Display power indicator, hardware, internal speaker, etc. ..). Read each motherboard manual for the clearest signal the inclusion of these connectors.
Double check for proper power connection for all the hardware components
- (Optional) Install additional elements as the front mounted USB, Firewire and / or sound ports.
At this point we are at 90% with our DIY PC assembly is already done! Do not put the cover back again.
9) Final External Connections
Reconnect the outsideEquipment, including items such as
a) Keyboard
b) mouse
c) Monitor
d) printer / scanner
e) Speakers
f) External power cable
10) to bring the power!
This brings us to the final stage of assembling a PC. If you did everything correctly, now is the time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of success.
With the case still open, and all external devices connected, turn on the computer and not watching something unusual as a fanSpiders, alarms or beeps from the PC. In this case, turn it off and spend some 'time to check the connections, and the manual for a couple of suggestions for resolution.
Well, if no abnormalities observed up well, and displays the startup screen from the motherboard, congratulations! They managed to build their own PC in this guide DIY PC assembly flashg.
