| 1346483 | 2013-06-20 23:34:00 | I did it, put my new computer together and it goes ! Went with Haswell and haven't worried about separate video card as video is fine at moment with on board graphics. Hardest part was the I/O plate interfering with the motherboard when positioning motherboard in case, broke the silver tags off and everything slotted in fine. And its so much quieter than my old AMD machine (think case fans were getting stuffed). A special thanks to Mr Google for his help :thumbs: . Also fixed up my internet speed wise and connection reliability . The new computer couldn't pick up my old adaptor so got new one and everythings fine. Skite over :) |

| 1346485 | 2013-06-21 04:50:00 | Good stuff mate, well done :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1346486 | 2013-06-21 05:13:00 | Well, done, indeed. Did the butt clench when you pushed the power button? That is the scary moment, eh. | linw (53) | ||
| 1346487 | 2013-06-21 08:06:00 | Yep, definitely nervous then. Specially after the trouble with the O/I plate- must have had the MOBO in and out a dozen times till I decided to get rid of the tags. | Clod (7853) | ||
| 1346488 | 2013-06-21 12:53:00 | Great feeling huh. :) | Jen (38) | ||

Just hold them up with your fingers while you get the board in with the other hand. It's easy once you get the hang of it. You shouldn't really break them off, they are there to provide a ground connection to the jacks etc and reduce (electrical) interference. Not that you will likely notice any diference... |

| 1346490 | 2013-06-22 00:51:00 | Well done! I remember the first time I built a PC. I was worried whether my parts were faulty or not, whether I had wired it correctly etc. It's great feeling building a working computer. :) |

| 1346491 | 2013-06-22 08:26:00 | They need to redesign those tabs on the IO plate, they are a pain in the butt at times. While they are at it it's time to abandon Molex connectors altogether, they are horrible. How many times have I pushed a fan adapter onto a molex plug only to see the pin push out the back of the connecctor. But griping aside, great job. Careful though it's addictive once you start building them. |

| 1346492 | 2013-06-23 02:47:00 | +1 on those grounding tabs. Just did a mobo transplant on my oldest comp and those tabs were a pain. Patience is a virtue, though!! | linw (53) | ||
