Why would anyone spend $30 on a windows private key? I spent like $5 for a windows key on eBay. Can find them cheaper than that

edit- Was actually $2.25

It's going to be a good bit of work and you'll probably 2nd guess yourself at some parts. Post here to ask questions if you're having trouble with something.

It'll all be worth it when you finally get it to boot up

yes, but does it have a fan controller to plug into the mobo?
how are the rgb fans it includes plugged in?

i have those fans, and they're great, but i got the 3 pack which included their lighting node pro, which apparently is 60 bucks on its own. i cant find it cheaper.

well if you never plan on getting RGB fans from any other company, the commander pro might be a good investment. it has everything youll ever need in terms of ports <_<

thats why im curious as to how they have it connected. are you able to plug in the fans that come with it into the motherboard or is it controlled via a remote or something?

im talking about controlling the light. the fans will work (as in they'll spin) when plugged into the mobo.
the rgb wire should go into the RGB headers on the motherboard

but usually mobos only have 2 and i dunno if they'll even work. like mine wont unless its the CPU fan that came with the ryzen chips. and they're in weird spots. like on mine i have one in the middle of the board

since you have 2 new ones, you can probably control them. but then you have 3 more, and if you have to plug those in, then you'll run out of ports.

You can definitely use them, you probably just won't be able to control the RGB without that hub just guessing

You can definitely control fan speed through the bios and also with some manufacturer software.

Edit: Actually, after looking at that hub there's really nothing special about it. I thought it included a remote. All it does is allow you to plug up to 6 fans into one fan header, so if you could control RGB through that, you should be able to control RGB after installing Corsair software without needing the hub

Last edit: Disregard the above lol. According to Amazon answers, RGB control won't work without it

Fuck it then. I'll buy the RGB controller thingy later. I can always just slap that baby in right?

I gotta say I skimmed the topic but saw the picture. Looks good, but replace that Prism soon. They run a little too hot for my tastes even with the high fan mode switched on it, and turbo preset in BIOS.

75-85 with no overclocking and the rest of my case has good airflow. I got a noctua and cut that by 15c.

If you bothered to test the components outside of the case, building it should really not be a problem. Connecting the front panel header is annoying but that's pretty much it

It's probably for the other M.2 slot up top. See how there are different screwholes for different lengths of SSDs along that slot?

I dont think its very imperative you use it or keep it covered though

I think you would only need a molex cable if you have a lot of fans or hard drives. Plugging your fans directly into the fan headers is all you need for now.

But this again is coming from someone who doesn't have RGB lighting

Also make sure you don't suffocate your PSU where you have the PSU fan facing some interior case wall

Dont know how it would fit

It's for the m.2 slot below the top 16x PCIe slot. It's a heat spreader for your m.2 NVMe.

Im perplexed on how this SSD goes in

Like, mounting it? Should only go one way, with the SATA and power facing down. Look at the other 2.5" mounting bracket in behind the Mobo tray.

I didnt use that part, I just used the sliding trays. But from what I'm looking at, in the top right of the bracket is another hole that looks like a screw goes there. So I'm assuming you screw down the thin metal part to hold the SSD in place on the bracket and then screw the bracket back on

Not 100% tho but thats what I surmise

Hey man cut me some slack! My friend helped me over the phone with testing the hardware. Right now, the PC is basically done.

The SSD is still puzzling me. Since it's a SATA, I think it doesnt go in that tiny cage. Think it goes where the hdd would go.

Right now Im trying to figure out where to put my fourth fan
