| 1122095 | 2010-07-24 23:19:00 | When building a new computer from scratch, do you install the CPU + heatsink first before installing the MB onto the case or the other way round? | bk T (215) | ||
| 1122096 | 2010-07-24 23:27:00 | It's better / easier to install the CPU before you install the mobo in the case | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1122098 | 2010-07-24 23:37:00 | And it'll be harder trying to install a CPU into an MATX case. You've got a lot less space than an ATX case (if the case is MATX that is) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1122099 | 2010-07-24 23:51:00 | I install CPU, Heatsink and RAM before inserting into the case. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1122100 | 2010-07-25 00:58:00 | Yep as said by the others | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1122101 | 2010-07-25 02:56:00 | Yes. Have had to swap a CPU out in a already built system and you can, but it's easier to do it first. And The HSF makes a kind of handy handle for picking the board up and positioning it.:thumbs: |

| 1122103 | 2010-07-25 03:31:00 | And The HSF makes a kind of handy handle for picking the board up and positioning it.:thumbs: I thought that was my idea! :lol: I install the CPU and RAM first so as not to bend the board much. |
