How to Build a PC - Step-by-Step Beginners Guide

hello and welcome back to another PC builds so this is gonna be another full pc build guide so i'm gonna be going through all the steps you need to put all the parts you can see in front of me together we're then gonna be good all installing windows and in st drivers you're going to need to get your pc up and going and any additional steps then that you're going to need to do i'm gonna be showing you how to do it so if you watch this video you're gonna be able to put all these parts from being parts into a fully working Pacey so if you've never built a PC before you've come to the right place so the first thing I want to do is go through the parts I have chosen for the PC today and this is probably mid-range to high-end mid-range PC and it's certainly gonna have no issues running any games and it's gonna be very comfortable for a video Adam so let's have a look at the parts okay for the kiyose I've decided to go with a pure bass 500 DX from beat once and I've already done that I am building this kiss and a lot of thermal testing and I focused review so you're thinking to get in this case it's worth the check in that light and a spoiler alerts I was really impressed for this kiss it performed really well thermally and at the moment this is my kiss of the year so far so that's the reason I have chosen it for today's build with the b5 15 motherboards having just been released I've decided to go with the be 550 tomahawk for this build and my opinion is one of the best-looking be 550 motherboards and I've already had some reviews of its anise performed really well so what are the main advantages a B 550 motherboard is gonna give you over a B 450 is access to some of the fast PCIe Jen for SSDs so that's something you're not interested in you might want to think about the be 450 tomahawk so I'm gonna put a link to it in the description as well like why is if you're going to want to use more than one of the PC a gem for SSDs you might want to think about x57 day so I'm gonna put a link to the x5 70 motherboard as another option for this build as well for the CPU you have decided to go with the risin 730 700 X so this is an 8 core CPU and I won't have any difficulty with gaming or video editing if you don't need the extra 2 cores I'll put a link to some six core CPUs which will be perfectly fine for gaming in the description so keeping our CPU cool I've decided to go with the dark rock proof for CPU killer from be quiet so this is their top-of-the-line CPU killer and shouldn't have any problems at all keeping our 3700 X code under load if you don't to spend this amount of money on a CPU killer the pure rock 2 and black where I think would live protect me well in this case so again I'll put a link to that in the description as a cheaper option and again if you don't want to spend any extra money on a CPU killer you can't of course use the stock CPU killer that comes with a 3700 X so in this video I'm going to show you how to install that as well for the ROM I've got 16 gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro in black ass 32 hundred megahertz speed so I've used this round kit before and a number of bills never had any issues with it so the GPU I've decided to go with an Nvidia 2070 super so this is a very capable GPU and a perfect balance between price and performance you'll get some great gaming performance promise and it's also very capable for video editing so I use a 27 day super and my second rig and unless I had it right beside my main rig which is a 20 DTI and I can't really notice any difference so a great choice for the graphics card so as already mentioned one of the main reasons for going be 550 is to take advantage of the fast PCIe Jen 4 SSDs so that's exactly what we're gonna do we've got r7 rocket Gen 4 SSD 500 gigabytes to use as our men but drive for this build so as well as the m dot 2 SSD from seront i've also packed up to 500 gigabyte sava SSDs and these are the KC 600 from Kingston some of you may well be wondering if I wanted 1 terabyte of additional storage and why didn't they just go with a single SSD and the reason for that is in the pervious 500 DX they have an SSD point in the front of the case and it has space for two SSDs and I think just having a single 1 terabyte SSD here is going to look a symmetrical and in fact the two 500 gigabyte models were priced freely similarly to your one terabyte model so it's gonna give us the same story engine but look slightly better part in the whole build I've gone with a 550 watt gold the semi modular power supply from Corsair and it's the TX 550 m model and this should be enough par for what we've got in front of us here so the pure BS 500 e ax comes with three pure wings two fans already included and a my previous kiss review young thermal tests and I find that the three unfitted fans perform really well so if you don't wanna put any additional funds into this build there's no need to however there is space for additional three 120 millimeter fans are two 140 millimeter fans and as the pure wings 2 fans are reasonably cheap I've picked up an additional to 140 millimeter fans so the additional two fans that I have picked up are optional you don't need to go for these if you don't want to and your build will look good and run reasonably cool however if you want to improve your temperatures a little bit more and I also think make your build look slightly better because I think when you occupy all the fans nuts things do look better and for a free little additional cost i would recommend packing up these additional two phones given their little price and the last 10 items that i've picked up are also optional so there are some cable extensions so i've got a set of black and white cable extensions from cable mode i've used these in a number of builds before and these are purely aesthetic they're not going to add any additional performance to your bills you don't need them at all but they will make a look better so it's up to you to decide whether you want to add these in or not okay so the final item I picked up is also a cable extension but it's for the one of the front panel connecting cables the HD audio cable and the reason I picked it up is the original cable that comes with a kiss' has lots of multicolored wires coming from it and it's gonna be on full display at the bottom of your kiss and it's gonna really I think detract from what is otherwise a great-looking build and in fact when I reviewed the pure BS 500 DX this was really my owning negative to the case so packing up this little cable extension is gonna solve this problem for you okay so that's all the parts for the build you'll find a part list in the description and I'm gonna inflate the options I've mentioned in that so let's get on with the belt okay so the first thing we need to do is to prepare the case and in doing this we want to remove any panels or dust filters that are gonna get in our way during the build so we'll start off with removing the front panel so it's held on with four thumb screws that we just need to listen and then we should be able to lift the front glass panel right to remove the rear panel we just need to loosen these two thumb screws and then we should be able to slide the panel to the right hand side and left tight okay so we'll have a look in the hard drive kids we've got a little box marked accessories so this is quite often where your accessories box comes in most cases so in here you're gonna climb and normally a collection of screws that are gonna let you secure your another board to the case to secure your hard drives on SSDs and also to secure your par supply we also got some cable ties to help with cable management but we can note already there's some velcro straps to help with cable management okay so we already mentioned that's the old bracket where we're going to mind our to use our SSDs so we can go ahead and remove this and are you by loosening a set of thumb screw at the top the brackets should just slide right on the top of the case there's a magnetic dust filter which just left side of place okay to remove the front panel there's a little handle down here and all we need to do is pull it towards ourselves it is quite stiff so it does need a good poke okay so that's the front panel off what you'll notice when you look at the front panel is these three metal pins and you've also got three metal connectors here so that's one of the nice things about this here so though this case does are RGB and their front panel there's no wires actually holding it on so removing the front panel after your build is fairly straightforward okay and the front of the case we've got a dust filter all we need to do is pull this bit to the side and I should lift tight okay so as already mentioned this case comes with three pure ones two fans already installed so one of the fronts one at the top one at the rear of the case I certainly the one at the top and the one of the rear the case are gonna get in the way we'll be fitting our motherboard and trying to feed wires in from the back and into the sockets on the motherboard the one the front probably will cause any problems but I do like to remove all the fans at the start to make the build a very easier so each fan has held on before screw so we just need to loosen these and then we'll be able to get the fan site okay that's the kiss ready to go next thing is to move on to the motherboard okay so this is our tomahawk could be 550 motherboard so we want to do as much as we can but the motherboard I decide the case before we install the motherboard into the case because working it on the flat table is much easier than working in the Titan posts pisses off a kiss so we're going to go ahead and install the CPU into the socket here we're gonna put our end up - yes SD into this socket here and we're gonna put our round into here all before we put the motherboard into the case as well we're actually going to go ahead and put our CPU cooler onto the motherboard first unmanned put the motherboard into the case so the first thing we want to do is install our CPU which is going to go into this socket here in the middle off the motherboard so to repair the motherboard to receive the CPU you all we need to do years left this retention clip all the way over to the right-hand side okay so this is our CPU and what you'll notice as I'm holding the CPU by outsize and the reason for that is I don't want to damage these gold pins that are on the bottom of the CPU so if I able to touch the bottom of the gold pins I could ban them making our CPU you're absolutely useless so when you take it out of the plastic package and make sure you hold it by the side so you don't damage the pins on the bottom one of the other things I want you to notice about the CPU is if you look at the bottom left hand corner there's a little gold marking on us none of the other corners on the CPU have this marking so this is gonna be important when we put the CP in the socket we're gonna want to line this marking up with the marking on the sockets we put the CPU in the right way reign'd okay so we take that closer look at the CPU socket and what you'll notice on this corner here there's Oh triangle on the corner of the song yes there's also a white mark on the motherboard itself so this is where we're gonna have to line up the mark on the CPU so we are entered the CPU in the socket the right way round okay so I've got the CPU you I've got the mark here lined up with the mark on the socket so the installments off at all I want to do is hover over the socket and let the CPU fall into the socket it's really important I don't go pressing down on the CPU because I'm gonna ban the pins if it's not lined up properly so you notice they're the CPE just dropped into place and if it doesn't you just want to move it around a little bit till it falls into place but don't be tempted to push it in there's all you're gonna do there is damage your pins okay so to secure the CPU in the socket all we need to do is close this little lever and we've now installed our CPU okay so the next thing for us to do here is install our MDOT two SSD and this motherboard has to end up to SSD sockets we've got one here and one here and both these sockets have heatsinks on them to help keep the SSD school when they're running importantly only the one at the top supports gen4 speeds the one at the bottom only will go up to a maximum of Gen 3 speed I mean even if you have a gen 3 SSD you're much better putting it in to the top socket as we've got a jam for SSD we're going to install it into this socket so we need to remove these two little screws here to remove the heatsink and expose the socket okay so and I should just be able to left Dietz and Goff okay so let's take a closer look at the SAP if so this is here is actually where I round up to SSDs gonna plug in and this is a lot of standoff that's gonna hold it in place not on me and the motherboard box you're gonna have a little screw which is then going to screw into the standoff and secure the end up to SSD and what you'll notice there's empty places here so we're able to move these little stand off so long so they're in the right place for our SSD so the first thing for us to look is to check and see are these standoffs in the right place so this is our SSD and if we look that we line it up with a socket we're gonna be able to screw it in here so this one is in the right place for us okay to install the SSD all we need to do is inserted at a slight angle into the socket then when we lower a dime we're gonna be able to screw that into place okay so then that will screen here that comes with our motherboard we just line it up with a socket and we should be able to screw things into place okay so the last thing we need to do is just put the heatsink back on but before we do that there's just a little there plastic that we need to remove okay that's the end up - yes st installed next thing to do is install the rom okay so the rom is gonna go into these sockets over here on the right hand side off the motherboard what you'll notice is there's four round slots of the kit around the we cut only came with two round stinks so we can't just pecker to choose which of these sockets we insert them into and if you look in the motherboard manual it recommends that you install if you've got two sticks around into the second sock it away from the CPU and the fourth socket away from the CPU first he only got the two sticks Rama okay so this is also marked on the motherboard for us here it's saying we need two sticks the first we should be installers and here that's here okay so this is our around and one of the things I want you to notice is that the all connectors that are gonna plug into the motherboard are at the bottom but they're not of equal lengths so the one over the right hand side is longer than the one over the left hand side so it's important we line this up properly remember plummeted in to the socket okay so to prepare the motherboard to receive the round all we needed open is the little clips on each of the sockets that we're going to be inserting around into next we need to line the RAM up with the socket making sure we've got the long side on the long side off the socket we just line it up in the socket check that's the right way right and that all we need to do is apply some firm pressure and it should lock and click into place most a matter of repeating the process of the second stick of RAM so we line it up with a socket and then apply a bit of pressure and it locks and clicks into place so we've now installed the RAM okay for the next thing for us to do is install the CPU killer and are going using the dark rock proof or for this build I did mention I would show you out it's a stock AMD color that comes with our 3700 X so let's take a closer look at this color okay so really all this color is it's a fan on top off I hit thank you so this is what's gonna keep our CPU Co importantly during the bottom of the CPU cover we've got thermal paste pre-applied so we're not gonna have to add any additional thermal paste but we need to be really careful be double damage the curry apply of thermal pH so don't be touching this at all rub off and anything else during the build process next thing to do is higher is this gonna clip onto motherboard it's gonna use these double clips on to apps that are on their motherboard also coming off the CPU turn we've got a four pen found connector which we're going to plug into your CPU fan header on the motherboard and I we have a look over at the side of the CPU Kiner we've got some little sockets here so if we pull this clip off so we've got a four pin and also a three pair socket here and this comes with two different cables so we've got one which is a standard 12 volt RGB cable which is going to plug into your 12 volt RTP header on your motherboard and it has the four little socket so it's going to plug into here so that's that's plugged in if you want to control the RGB on this with the four pin header on your motherboard and you use it with another board software so the other option that we have is there's also a USB cable supplied and if we look at the end of it it's got the three pin so it's plug-in over this side here on the other end of the cable we've got a USB plug and we're gonna need to plug this into one of the USB 2.0 headers on our motherboard we're then gonna have to download software I'll put links to that the description and then we can use that software to control the RGB lighting Oh Kara so importantly you don't want to use both of these you want to use one or the other okay switch we install the clearer we want to lower it down and then line this little clamp up for the socket here okay so that's the science locked in okay so now all we need to do is line this little clip up on the other side so we just put a pressure on it Jen so that's my lot into place okay now I just secured the pillar over that have to do is lift this lever all the way over to the other side okay so that's now locked into place and the CPU currently is nice and secure in fact we can actually lift it up with the car okay so the next thing for us to do is to plug the cable which is going to allow you the fan the power to spin around but also lie on motherboard is here just the speed of the fan depending on how hot the CPU is so we're gonna plug it into the CPU fan header which is this little four pin connector here and a smart here CPU fan okay but look closely at the fan header well notice there's a little bit of plastic over this side and that all connector here has to that with it's a plastic on it as well so these need to line up so we line them up on this side and then just push and it should lock into place now the only other thing we do want to leave this cable here looking on tidally so we're just gonna tuck it in the way things look a little bit more tighter okay so out the moments and if we were to plug this in our CPU cooler would work it would have power I'm the motherboard would be able to control the speed off the fan but we wouldn't have any way to control RTB as both mentioned there's two ways of doing this we can either use usb with a separate software or we can use a 12 volt 4 pin RGB header on the motherboard analyzed to either our motherboards software to control the RGB so I'll show you both of these so if we're going to use the USB bond first of all we're going to plug into the 3-pin connector ok so that's not any secure and in place so ideally with this cable you would want to rip it back run the motherboard out of the way and then we've got our USB headers the 2.2 headers down in the bottom of the motherboard if we look at this pin there's one whole mess in here and there's one pin mess in here so we have to line it up the right way and then all we need to do once it's lined up it's just a matter of pushing them ideally like I said this cables gonna be coming out the back of the motherboard coming around and coming back and down the bottom so it's not gonna run on the front of your motherboard and I put a link in the description to the software that you're gonna need to use this with if you are gonna go down this route ok so the other way that we can control the lighting on the CPU cover is to use one of the 4 pin 12-volt normal dresser book RGB headers on our motherboard and our motherboard has two so there is one here and one here and this would be the method I would recommend if you're planning on using the stock CPU killer and the reason for that is our motherboard has RGB on it so we're gonna have to download MSI's RGB software realize to control the lighting on the motherboard it's also gonna let us sort of control the lighting on the RAM and let us control the lighting on the CPU killer as long as we plug it into one of these headers so for me it just makes sense to use the one RGB software rather than two different software so like I say we're gonna go down this route this would be the method I would recommend ok so before I come on the show you how to plug everything in there's a couple of things I want to mention about RGB headers on motherboards so there's two different types of RGB headers the one we're gonna use as we've mentioned is a four pin 12-volt Nam addressable RGB header this motherboard also is a different type of RGB header there's three pin addressable five volt RGB headers as well so we've got one here and there's also another three pin one I think yes there it is of the top for the motherboard so these are not interchangeable if your hardware requires a four pin 12 volt non addressable header and you plug it into the addressable header you're actually going to damage your hardware so you have to be really really careful here so we're gonna have to use one of the four pin headers and they cannot be used interchangeably okay so what we want to do is plug the cable into the bottom of the CPU cutter and then we're going to need to plug the other end of the wire into one of the four pin headers on our motherboard so as I've already mentioned to you this cable is gonna be rid of right in the back of the motherboard and back in once it's in the kiyose so we're going to use this four pin header here okay so again you're close up look at this cable one you'll notice this pin over the left-hand side has a little arrow on it and that is to highlight the 12 volt pen so it's important it's lined up with the 12 volt pin on the motherboard we have a look at the motherboard what we will notice that our 12 volt pin is the one all the way over to the left hand side so we line our cable up with that into place okay so that's the stock see pker and installed and we know you'll be able to use our other boards aren't Ubisoft we're not a really difficult well item on the motherboard itself the ROM but also the CPU correct okay so the first step in installing the dark rock proof 4 is to remove these brackets from the motherboard so we just need to loosen each of these four screws and then Misha people just left the brackets off so importantly don't throw these I put them into your motherboard MOX so you ever come to change your cpu killer in the future or to sell your motherboard you're not gonna have to go searching for them okay so the first thing we're gonna have to do is put the 19 brackets onto the stock of another report of a plate so in the curve package itself here labeled AMD so that's the packaging we're going to have to open what are the other nice things you get in the box with the cpu color is our magnetic screwdriver so I've been using this for the build so far and having the magnetic tip on the screwdriver it makes it much easier managing any screws so I recommend you open the box right at the start of your build and get this screwdriver right okay so we need to put these little spacers over the backplate and in our little bracket it has two holes on each side one of them has little damn four which is the one on the tops where them in put the screws through the am for mark to the place on the socket and the line them up then with the spacers and then all we need to do is screw into place okay just to same process on the top them yes we put the screws in through the holes labeled a and Forbes this is a name for a socket that we have and just screw things into place okay so the next thing we want to do is add some thermal paste to the CPU and if you live online there's a whole variety of different ways people do this and everyone has their own reason of why their way is best I prefer just to put a pea-sized amount in the middle of the CPU and then when the color is applied that will squash the peer state and cover the whole of the CPU so thermal paste comes with a killer and a little syringe so we need to do is squeeze a little bit out into the middle of the CPU okay so that looks about right to me okay so the next thing is just to line up the CPU color with the brackets importantly don't forget to remove the plastic sticker from the bottom of the CPU color this we need to make sure the b plant logo is the right way up and then it's just a matter of applying this with the center off the surface next we want to align this little mat we'll wrap it up with the CPU cover it just goes in through the middle and then now we need to put two screws one down here and one at the back to secure the pillar to the motherboard the problem is we need to get the screwdriver in three holes on top here so we're going to have to remove these two orbits from the top of the printer this is just on the screen okay so important at the top we're able to fit the screwdriver through the hole but not the screen so what we need to do is line the screw up here feed the screwdriver through and then pass the screw into the screw driver and then we are able to line the holes up at the bottom and secure things in place so I'm just going to loosely tighten that one and then repeat the same process with the one at the back okay so I'm missing the alternates tightening H knees up a little bit at a time it's also you're gonna tighten one up and then also have the other one tighten just gonna pull one way on the socket so a couple of turns of each at a time fully screwed in Sweden as well okay to finish it off all we need to do is squeeze our caps at the top back in again okay so that's the heatsink onto the motherboard the next thing to do is insert the fans on to the heatsink and this CPU fitter comes with two different fans we've got 135 millimeter round to go into the middle between the two towers and we've got also our 120 millimeter fan which goes on this side of guitar it's smaller because it means it's gonna up gonna get caught on the RAM itself so before we put the fans on it's important to talk a little bit by airflow through fans so fans have a front and a back so this is the front of the fan you can see it's got the logo and it doesn't have any bits of plastic block in the farm on the back you tend to have these bits of plastic and the fan looks clear leaf to be the wrong way round so with a fan air is going to come in through the front I'll write the back so it's important we install these fans only sink the way we want her to come through the chaos so when we go on to look at our key error is gonna come in for the front of the case which is going to be the right hand size we wanted to go through the heatsink and then right on the back of the case which is going to be the left hand side over here so it's important when we put our fans onto the heatsink we want the front of the fan at the right hand side and the back of the fan at the left hand side so it's gonna be pushing car coming into the case through the heatsink and then out the back of our kiss the other thing to mention is we are going to have two different fans on the CPU connect but we've only in one CPU fan header on our motherboard so they supply you let all kept with fans better on it so it's got one 4 pin connector on the front and to your 4 pin adapter so both our fans are gonna be able to clearly controlled by the motherboard and spin a CM speed so I'm gonna plug this in right at the start because I find it makes things a little bit easier so the other thing we're gonna have to be careful with is the amount of cable and where the cable comes out so I would like the cable to be cuttin the CPU header is at the top of the motherboard so I even like most of the cable to be hidden and only a little bit to come out the top so I'm gonna have the fan installed with a cable wrapped around here and only this that will bett at the top is gonna come out it's going to make things much tinier okay so to secure the fans to the heatsink the fans all have little holes and we've got these little metal brackets we just need to slide this in through the holes on the fan itself and then pull it back to here so what catches on the heatsink and that's just a matter of repeating the same process at the top okay it's just the same thing so if I in line these up in the holes and the farms and then pull it all the way over to here and it's just a lot to the person I this fan is nicely secured okay so next thing to do is put the 120 millimeter fan on the front of the heatsink importantly we want the direction do we go in the same way as the big eruption 35 millimeter Wow and it's just the same process we align these little metal clips with the front of the fan and then catch them on to the heatsink a little pin lock in place and then we just do the same thing on the other side okay so that's just clipped on and locked into place okay so now we can plug the end of this fan into the fans splitter there's only one way I can go in and then the last thing we need to do is to plug the end of the farm splitter into the CPU fan header on the motherboard which is just here at the top and again there's only one way that this will plug in and then we'll just tuck any excess cable in underneath make everything look nice and tidy okay so the next thing we need to do is put our motherboard into the case but I won't have a look at the back of the case first of all so you'll notice that these little standoffs there's nine of them at the moment in the case and the standoffs are in the ATX slots there's a little cool here which says holes one a 1 to a 9 or for ATX motherboards and all this time does at the moment are in a 1 to a 9 and as our motherboard is an ATX motherboard that's perfect for us if you had a different size a motherboard you may do refer to the code and you might need to move some of the standoffs I want to look at this one here which is a 4 in the middle of the motherboard so all the other standoffs they have a little hole in it where you're gonna pass a screw in through the motherboard and screw it in to the standoff so there's no hole in the 1n a 4 and the reason for this is when you first put your motherboard in this little bit of metal is gonna pass through the motherboard and help hold your motherboard in place and obviously when all the other screws are in it's gonna help secure your motherboard as well so just be careful don't be trying to put a screw into this one because it's not gonna fit and important to say all the screws for securing the motherboard I could have gotten that accessory box me to go to a power and drive cage right at the start so just before put the motherboard into the case just to mention our motherboard has the i/o shield already aligned and some other words this comes separately and if it does all you need to do is slot into this piece before you insert they're bored into the case okay so all we're gonna have to do is slide our motherboard and line everything up and then what we're going to want to do is get some of the screws and to hold it in place so that's much easier once you've got the first screen everything is a lot easier and definitely one of the things this magnetic screwdriver really does make things much easier otherwise your screws could follow night so definitely candidate to the park if you have you've bought this CPU cooler okay so that's the motherboard in the case the next thing I would recommend doing is plug in in any of the cables that we can at this stage and the reason for that is particularly once we start putting fans at the top and the back plug in any cables in is gonna be much more difficult so we'll make a start with the kiyose cables okay so this collection of cables at the back here are what we call the kiyose cables so the open the front panel we've got a USBC connector and this is the cable that we need to plug into our motherboard for that to work we've got a USB type a 3.0 and we need to plug this into your motherboard for that port to work as well these are the small trucky from panel connectors so we've got one for par switz when we press the wire switch at the front it's gonna turn the PC on and we've also got power LED connectors as well so whenever the powers turned on the LED at different is going to indicate that we've got power we also got a hitch the audio cable which lets the headphone and microphone jack at the front work and then the last two cables are to do with the RGB at the front of the case we've got this time a three pin 5 volt addressable cable which should we plug in to our motherboard we're gonna be able to use our motherboards software to control the RGB and different of the case the last one is a SATA power connector so this is required to par the RGB at the front of the case regardless of whether you're gonna plug this cable into your motherboard to allow your motherboard to control it or whether you want to use the controller that's built into the front panel if you don't plug this cable in it's not gonna work because this is needed for par so all these cables at the bottom are gonna plug into your motherboard this power cable is going to plug into our power supply whenever we go ahead and plug it in okay so before we go ahead and plug these cables into the motherboard I want to talk briefly about cable management most people think this is something you do at the end of a build but actually if you neglect cable management to leave it all to the end you're gonna have a real mess the sort of three so it's really important when we written these cables to our motherboard we bring them through yet the closest cut to the connector they're gonna plug into on the motherboard you don't want to bring them across the front of the case where they're gonna be on view and again you want to take them out along the back and the most direct rip that's going to help you manage them later on so for example the HD audio cable which lets our microphone and headphone jack on the front panel work it generally plugs in dying on the bottom left-hand side of the motherboard so it would make sense for us to bring it up through this knockout here so let's right next to where it's gonna need to plug in so let's make a start with it so right on the bottom left-hand side of the motherboard is where our HD audio cable is gonna plug in so importantly if we nuked I have a look at the plug the plug on the top is missing and on the top of the header is missing so just make sure we plug it in the right way around so all we want to do is line everything up and then it should just push into place okay so ready mention I don't like all these multicolored cables being on display in the bottom of the kiss in other cases you're gonna have fans at the bottom so these are going to be hidden but in this case there's no fans and pointers here so these cables have gotta be on display and aren't kind of like very good so for this reason I've got a cable extension that has I think it's gonna look slightly better than these multicolored cables okay so to use the cable extension rather than plugging in here we're gonna plug this into the cable extension itself so the line everything up and that's gonna push into place so they weaken them bring their sight at the back of the hiss and then plug the other end into the HD audio connection on the motherboard okay and I think that black and white cable down the bottom looks slightly more attractive than the multicolor cable that we have before this is available in a range of colors so you could get all black if you prefer less but what I think once we start to plug in our black and white cable extensions coming from the power supply you're gonna see the reason I've gone with the black and white cable okay so now if I come on do what I think are probably the most difficult cables to plug in and part of the reason for that is they're small and fiddly and you have to look at your motherboard manual to see which which pins you're gonna plug each of these cables into so our front panel connectors for the power switch and power LED is this connector here okay so the first one we're gonna plug in is the power switch so it's a double cable here and it plugs into the Pens third and fourth from the left-hand side on the top row of pins and importantly the positive cable is over towards the left hand side so when we look at the back of the cable there is a little arrow on the positive cable so we don't need to plug this cable in upside down into pins 3 & 4 from the left hand side okay so that's that one plugged in and then we've got the power LED cables to plug in as well so these are separate cables so we're not going to mix them up they're labeled as positive negative so the negative one is going to go next on pin number 2 in the top row that's it plugged in and then the positive one is the one furthest to the left hand side in the top rule and again I'm plugging these in upside down just to match with the ones that have already been plugged in okay so that's AB din we'll just tuck all the additional cable right the back off the PS okay so the next cable we're going to plug in is the address of a large eb cable coming from the front panel so that's going to align our motherboard to control the RGB on the front panel so it is a three pin cable so it's gonna need to plug into a three pin header and as we've mentioned before the motherboard has two different headers there's three pin 5 volt addressable headers 4 pin 12 volt Nolan decibel and we can't mix these up so we're gonna plug into this 3 pin 5 volt addressable socket knowing importantly there's a pin missing on this cable and there's a pin missing over here so we need to line them up the other thing that you'll notice on the socket there's a little arrow which represents the 5 volt cable so we're gonna need to plug ours in this way around just a mattr line all the pins up and then pushing it in the place ok so the next thing to plug in is our USB 3.0 cable which let's argues via a port on the front panel connect to the motherboard so what you'll notice this cable has a little notch here and there's also a little notch here in the top of the socket so that's gonna help us line things up the right way so a word of question here if you're gonna damage any of the sockets on your motherboard plug in the cable in this is one of the ones most likely to happen so be really careful if it doesn't go smoothly stop don't just keep pushing because if you banned and damaged these pins you're not gonna be able to plug the cable in and you're gonna damage your motherboard so be really careful when doing this so I'm gonna bring plenty of the cable through the line things up and ask captain really nicely so I'm then gonna pull any excess cable light the back okay so that's seven well there okay so I'll ask hist cable that we're gonna need to plug into the motherboard is the USBC connector from the front panel so it plugs into this header here just a matter of lining things up then pushing into place you know it wants me to put our hard drive cover on it's gonna help feed this cable okay it's the only additional kiss cable to plug in is this not a power supply for the front panel so we'll plug it in later when we install our power supply okay so at this stage I will select to plug in the power cables to the motherboard so we're gonna plug a 24-pin cable into the socket here and there's also additionally a pendant cable which supplies additional parts the CPU I'll put the top left hand side of the motherboard and it's the main one that we're gonna get into trouble if we put founds and first you're really going to struggle to plug it in okay so as I've mentioned I've got some black and white cable extensions from cable mod and these are purely aesthetic they're not going to be anything for the function of our PC and they're completely optional so you want to save yourself some money there's no need to pick these up however in your bill will look significantly better if you add these in okay so we're going to plug the 24 pin cable into this socket here and we know the socket closest to me now has a little notch on it and the cable itself also has a nuts we want to line these two notches up come and just push it in to place so that's that right lined up right a little bit of pressure and I clicks and locks into place so we're gonna plug the other end into the 24 pin cable coming from our power supply and also whenever we put our little bracket into place at the back of the case that holds the hard drives it's gonna tidy up the cables this one this one plug it in here okay so the little notch is on the top and we've got our clip here on the top as well so just a matter of trying to plug this in and I'm ready with a CPU through this is quite tricky plug in okay so that's clicked and locked into place and all I'm going to do is push the excess cable right to the back and then whenever we come in to install our power supply we're just going to plug this in to a power supply give yourself so all these cables are little black cable combs on them which helped organize the cable at the front of the key s you're gonna want to try and tidy the cables up a little bit with those cable combs okay so the next thing for us to do is put the fans back in so as I mentioned there is 5:19 for 140 millimeters fans there's one at the back two at the top and also two at the front so there's a few things to talk about when it comes to the fans when we talked about the CPU cooler we already have mentioned there's a front and a back to the fans so that this site is very clearly the front this side is very clear in the back to the back empty of these plastic bits and it just doesn't look the same as the front when the fan turns around it brings air in from the front I like the back so we need to do this I need which direction we want to install the fans in each of the locations and it helps that I've already done quite a bit of thermal testing in this case so we want the two mounting locations at the front to be in tick so that means we're gonna need to install the fans and this way right so the front of us is at the front bringing a color in from the front into the case and that makes sense because we want killer to be come in here in through the CPU killer and then light the back off the piece so that makes perfect sense as well we want the fans and Aseema orientation of the back so they're blowing our hot air piped at the back of the case and getting rid of us so our fan of the back is going to be this way right at the top we can have the fans either as intake or exhaust but what I like to have any case is either the found balanced or positive pressure so that means more air coming in than our going right and that's - positive pressure the reason for out is you don't want a negative pressure and there's lots of arguments like what's best but the one I do with is that if you have negative pressure in a kiss which means you have more exhaust than you do in tick you'll come then to suck air in through the normal filtered intake suppose we're gonna have a filter over the intake at the front and is for the like so here air is going to come in it's not filtered and dust is going to come in with it and that's going to clog up your components in your kiss so we've got two options here we can either have two in ticks on two exhausts and from a thermal testing the best piece for your exhausts are here and at the top left hand side off the kiss another factory you have to consider is aesthetics and I think just having one fan at the top and a fan place on occupying it doesn't look very good so I am going to be filling all five found locations on this kiss and because I don't want to avoid negative pressure I'm gonna have this also as an intake and it makes sense because I'm going to be bring an additional air into the CPU killer and then I'm going to have two fans at the back taking it away again so to summarize we're gonna have three intakes two at the front and one at the front top and two exhaust one of the rear and one of the rear huh and I have chest of this thermal configuration I'd worked fairly well the other option you have at the front of this case is rather than two 140 millimeter fans you can put three 120 millimeter fans and again the reason I decided to go with the one forties is one aesthetics I think it looks well of all the fans are the same size and two noise obviously the 120 millimeter fans having three of them they're going to be a little bit noisier than two 140 and the other factor as well is gonna be caused three 120 millimeter fans is gonna be slightly more expensive and to 140 so that's the reasons I've gone with this particular configuration okay so the final thing I want to mention about the fans before we go on and put them into the case is the actual plugs that are going to plug into our motherboard so the three fans that come with the case are actually only got three pin connectors on them whereas the motherboard fan headers of four pin connectors knowing this used to really worry me when I was new to building pcs because I could I plug a 3 pin header in tier 4 pin header but you don't need to worry about doing this there's little markings on the fans and little markings on the header so you're only gonna be able to plug them in one way Rimes so they're only gonna plug into the three pins and your fan is actually gonna work perfectly well with like an additional pin so the additional pin is for PWM control off the farm so it's a way of controlling the speed of the fan but your motherboard has two different ways of controlling the speed it can also control it with voltage so we're gonna be able to still use the fan speeds on these but we just need to go into the motherboard bias and make sure they're working in DC mode rather than PWM for the three pin connectors so sounds complicated don't worry about at the let me plug in one way to the four pin header and all you need to do is going to your motherboard BIOS and make sure the fan occurs are working on a DC mode and I'll show you how to do that at the end now I did need to pick up two additional funds and I much prefer PWM control and I may use these fans in other builds so the two additional fans I have got have got four pins on them so there's no issues with them PWM control is going to work and I'll show you all this at the end when we're in the motherboard bias said not the fan curse okay so do you install the fans in the kiss over what I want to do is pass the family write the bathroom kiss and in Slough cognition so as we said we want the fan at the back to be exhaust and then all that I need to do and each of the fans is held on with four screws so we just need to secure it in place and there's little holes in the back of the case of the fans laying up with okay so this one's also gonna be an exhaust so it's gonna be installed the right way around we'll just pass the cable right of the back of it yes and then slide the fan into position okay so this found here we want to be an intake so we're gonna have to put it in this way right so where it comes in through here and into the case so I'm just gonna feed the cable right the back okay so so the front fans we're going to want them round the right way we're gonna put the cable the end coming off the table all the way over to the back of the Pierce and we're just gonna feed it out the back for the kiss here and then we're gonna have one towards the top of the kiss just feeding the cables three is the first thing and then we're gonna screw these into place and again we're just gonna screw them in gently to start with and then we're gonna see where we want them to be at the end one of the great things about these sliders is you can have your fans and a whole variety of positions it's up to you to decide where you want them and as we've mentioned you can accommodate it up all the way up to 320 millimeter fans at the front if you prefer okay so that's all the fans squid and the next thing to do is plug the mainland to the motherboard so this motherboard does have sex system fan headers and we've got five fans again so we're not gonna have any trouble that's all with that we'll have one fan header spare if you go with the motherboard that has less fan headers done you have fans you can get found splitters or fan hubs and that would solve your problem with not having enough fan headers on your motherboard but like I said for us it's not a problem so all we need to do is bring the fan cable in one of the colors closest to the fan header that we're gonna plug it into so we've got two fan headers up here one fan header here and then we've got two along the bottom that we're going to use the second fan header is up around about here and it's a bit awkward to get plugged into so we'll use the two at the bottom and the three along the side okay so we've got three pin cable here there's a little notches on either side of it so it is only gonna plug in one way right we are going to have one fan plug saleem free but that's not a problem it just means we're going to have to use our fan that voltage control rather than PWM and again whenever we put our bracket and it's gonna hate all these cables okay so these are the four pin connectors but it's absolutely no debt to plugging in the three pins they'll go to the rego one way 30 differences all the pins will be occupied again that we want to use voltage control we can or will also have the option of PWM control as well let's add lined and pushed in and then the final one so all the way over here okay so that's all the fans installed and this shouldn't I work whenever we turn the computer on so to summarize the fans if you don't want to spend any extra money on fans leave the fans in the orientation of be quiet I'll install the men I've done some thermal testing and I find that's the best configuration with three fans if you want to pick up one additional fan I have two front intakes and two rear exhausts one of the top rear and one of the direct rear off the kiyose and if you want to have one extra fan then obviously you can put it in there as well knock your high all the fans lost okay so the next thing first to install is the SATA SSDs on to the SSD bracket stroke cable cover so as this is removable it's much easier to do this on the table and then put the whole thing back into the case when we're done so one of the nice things about this bracket is the cables are gonna plug into the SSDs on one side and this little bit in the middle is gonna hate them so on the bottom of this SSD you've got connectors here so it's gonna go right this way the one on the other side is gonna go right this way and then all the cables coming from them are gonna be hidden by this bit in the middle so before we screw things in I want to talk about the connections coming from the bottom of the SSD okay so what you'll see on the bottom of the SSD are though it looks like one connection it's actually two they're two l-shaped connectors there's a larger one over to the left-hand side and a smaller one over to the right-hand side so the one on the left-hand side is for SATA par so a cable coming from our spar supply is going to go to this one to power the drive the one over the right-hand side is for SATA data and it basically connects up to one of the SATA connectors on the motherboard and that's how data is transferred from the drive to the motherboard so we're going to get a set of data cable in our motherboard box whereas we're going to get our set a par supply cable in our par supply box so I've got both of these eye to eye and I'm gonna plug them in and later on then we can plug this out of data cable into the motherboard and let's have a power cable into the power supply okay so having a closer look at the cables these are some data cables which are going to come in the motherboard box this little silver connector is a locking connector so once you've plugged it in you have to hold this in to release the cable and it's the same on both sides and one is going to go into the SSD and one end is going to go into the motherboard the [Applause] some of our cables they generally come with multiple connectors on the cable and in the power supply I've got I've got one that has three SATA power connectors I've got one that has two SATA power connectors so each of our drives is going to use one of these winding the RGB controller for the kiss RGB is going to need another one so it makes sense to use one cable that we're all three off the connectors are going to be occupied so we're going to start off by plugging in the SATA data cable into the bottom of each of the SSDs so it's just important we need a nine the elves up on the cables and then push them okay now squished and locked into place next thing I'm just gonna pass this through the bracket I like to the back [Applause] and then the opposite of the other one okay we might turn the silver the next thing you're gonna need to do cables so I got up to start passing these three I'm just gonna make sure they're lined the right way so the L is going right this way and that's the way this one so gonna pass the power cable through and then plug it in to the SSD master cables factory and amber just gonna line the holes up I'll screw them in so these screws come when that little accessory box fort with the kiss that we got out of the hard drive cage at the bottom okay so are halfway there one of them's secure you slide it in through the gap so you can see this is gonna be honestly be much easier to do on a table so I'm just gonna go in this way here that just pushes in and clips in place and then we pull the excess cables back three that's it in place and then it's just a matter of screwing things in okay so that's the hard drives on the bracket I think it looks gripped all we need to do is put it into the kiss and plug the cables on okay so just bring these cables over to the side go in through there and we just angle this into here and then push it forward into place and then we screw the end this comes through at the top just secure the bracket in place so we're going to need to plug the two sava data cables into the motherboard so we're passed them in through yes they're gonna go in quite near to here now we'll get them at the front in a minute now we've mentioned that we've got one additional SATA power supply free for the kiss RGB par that's gonna be needed so we just need to line the ailes up and push them to place and then whenever we put our party supply in we'll plug this cable into the power supply so we'll turn the case Rhino and plug in the SATA data cables okay so this motherboard has sex out of sockets so all six of them and I'm here in three rows of two so we can just plug into here so Albany to do is line the little l-shaped connector up okay there's one in okay and that's the second one plugged in okay so hopefully you can see now the reason I decided to go with to 500 gigabytes SSDs rather than one one terabyte SSD it just wouldn't look great I think with one SSD installed in this bracket likewise I think leaving the bracket empty it just wouldn't look as good either and you can see the reason why I decided to go with these SSDs from Kingston I think they look great and the black and white thing really goes with everything else in the build okay the next thing for us to do is install our power supply so this is a semi modular power supply so that means that some of the cables are attached but you've also got optional slots to plug in additional cables that you may want you get some parts of planes where all the cables are attached and other parts of lines that are fully modular but none of the cables are plugged in and you wouldn't look in the cables that you want the big advantage of semi modular and fully modular power supplies are is that you're only gonna need to plug the cables in that you want and that's gonna mean you're gonna have a less of a mass of cables at the back of the case that you're not going to use and obviously semi modular and then fully modular power supplies are going to get much more expensive and the ones that all the cables attach to tend to be a little bit cheaper so this is a modular one is somewhere in the middle so we have a look and see what cables come pre attached we've got our 24 pin cable which we've already plugged a cable extension to and we've got an eight pin cable labeled CPU so again we've already plugged the cable extension in for these cables no the other cables that come with it we've got SATA cables we've already got a SATA cable in the back of the case with three connectors almost so we're not going to need our second SATA cable which has two connectors we're also not gonna need any of these cables the only additional cable that we're gonna need to plug in is the one for the graphics card so the one cable that's gonna plug into the power supply will get in here so the cable for the graphics card has to get pin connectors and the upend connectors are split into your six plus a two pen and our graphics card is gonna have one 8-pin connector on one sec spinner connector so just means we're not going to use that additional two pin connector so for the graphics card as well now you do have black and white cable extensions so we can go ahead and plug these in nine so this is a knit pin black and white cable extension Aniki and there's a little notch on the extension a little notch on the cable so we just need to line them up okay that's locked into place and then for the six pin connector we weren't gonna need to plug the six pin connector into the 6 pin extension cable okay so that's ready to go with any additional thing we're gonna need to plug in is the SATA cable which is really installed in Arceus it's good practice I think to plug all your cables into the power supply first because once they're in the case it's going to be now even more difficult the one exception to this rule is as you've seen and stolen the hard drives was pretty difficult on the table that are much more difficult on the case so that's the reason we haven't plugged the SATA cable in to the power supply first because plug in the power supply the SATA cable our supply later on this could be a much easier job but trying to do it the opposite way you Bryant okay one of the nice things about this case is they're a little bracket for your power supply so we're gonna unscrew the bracket by a listen all these thumb screws and then we need to fit this bracket to the back of our power supply one of the big advantages this is that it means that we can insert our par supply straight in through the back of the case in other cases that don't have this this gap is obviously much smaller I don't you need to put your power supply in from the back side here which is a bit tighter to get it fitted and we shouldn't have any difficulty at all installing this one of the important things to mention about the power supply is when you look at it you'll notice it has an intake fan and this is important because you want to install this intake fan where the vented intake is and we look at the bottom of our case down the bottom is perforated and there is a little dust filter on the bottom of us so we're gonna want to install our power supply with the fan Fierstein so I can get cooler which is filtered from the bottom of the case so we're going to put the lower bracket along in this way around here and the power supply into the kiyose okay night he installed the parcel my all we need to do is feed this mass cables through the hole first of all hold on three and again we've got our found fishing don't don't forget about that and then it's just a matter of typing these little thumb screws which is a great design that's the power supply installed so the last thing we need to do is just join up with the cables for the cable extensions we have ready plugged into the motherboard so we've got our 24 pin cable here line it up with a 24 pen extension and push it in place CPU cable and then we've got our graphics cards cables ready for when we install the graphics card okay so we're now ready to install the graphics cards so the first thing we need to do is remove the two expansion slot covers and that's the one second from the top and third from the top because our card is a jeweled slot card so we're gonna need to remove two songs that's so to do this we just need to loosen these little thumb screws and that lets the slave this bracket off and then we use a screwdriver and just loosen up the screws here a little bracket then it's just gonna slide straight right and if we just repeat that process then with the third bracket time okay so we're not gonna build a paragrafix card into the computer okay so this is our graphics card and you see it has a long slot here which is gonna plug into our motherboard so if we have a look at our motherboard there's two long slots there's one up at the top which is silver I'm one rather dying which is black there's also two smaller slots this obviously aren't gonna be big enough to accommodate the graphics card so it's really important we put our graphics card into this top slot and again one of the advantages of B 550 is that you're gonna get PCIe for only this top slot as pcie gem for and it is important to our lower card doesn't support PCI hmph or you're still gonna get much more PCI Amiens in the top slot compared to the slots further dying so in general this is the one slot no matter which motherboard reason if you only put one graphics card in it should win to this slot first similar to the m dot two drives you're gonna want to use the top one as well okay so to repair the slot to receive the graphics card all we need to do is push this little clip I don't want the slot ready to take the card okay to install the card all we need to do is line things up with the slot and once things are lined up just push and you'll hear a click as the card locks into place so that's our card locked into place so all we need to do now is replace the little screws and brackets the WETA tight from the side to secure the graphics card in place and then we just need to slide this little market back home okay so that's our graphics card installed in the case but it doesn't have power and as I've mentioned this graphics card has a nib pen but also a 6-pin connector so all we need to do now is plug our black on my cable extensions in through the bottom of the case and into the connectors on the graphics card okay so I plug it in okay so what you'll notice at the top of the cable extension is there's three that will Koons in each cable and this is help just to tidy up these cables and make them look a bit more presentable so we just need to pull them further down on the cables okay so that looks better things are a bit more neatly lined up no okay the last thing for us to do is cable management so you can see at the back we've got a whole mess of cables so we need to make these look neat and tidy and also have an enigma tidy will let us people that are back panel on and off without any issues so as you can see there's already some velcro straps which we can use to help tidy up some of the cables and as well you'll notice there's a lot of nineteen points here where we can use the employees Keable ties to help tidy up the cables as well also done between the power supply and the hard drive cage there's plenty of space which is perfect for these large power supply cables and cable extensions to go into so we'll get all and try and make the back of the case look a little bit more tidy almost forgotten we need to plug the extra cable in go into our salad rice here our supply okay that's it plugged in and then if you just talk to the excess cables [Music] and every morning counts baby bastarz understand [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's make the most of this night come on daddy take my hand [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay so that's the bill complete next thing we need to do is install Windows and get the PC up and running so there's even that you're gonna need a Windows 10 bootable USB Drive if you don't know how to make one of those I'm gonna put a link to it in the description to show you yeah so we're just gonna plug this into one of the USB ports on the back of the computer okay so now for the moment of truth we need to flip the power switch and see does the computer bit up so we've got lights which is a good sign and the fans are spinning so now all we're looking for on the screen is do we get our boot screen and hopefully what we're looking for then is the computer will find the windows bootable drive unload off it so that's a good sign so I like waiting for just to see will it find the windows but it'll drive I'm again that's a good sign that looks like let's find it perfect so I'm not gonna show you how to install when do so I'm gonna flip over to the screen G okay so we're from the United Kingdom so we're gonna leave all this as default and just click Next and we're gonna click install 9 so if you've got a Windows 10 product Hey you can enter it in the box if you don't just click I don't have a product key and then we can select what version you are I'm gonna get a product key so we'll select Windows 10 Pro and hit next we're just going to accept the license terms and conditions and what we want to do is a custom install of Windows so we're gonna click on it now what's showing up on the computer is our hard drives that we have installed so we have got three different drives drive 0 dr1 and dr2 so drive 0 and drive 1 have the same size so they're likely to be our two SATA SSDs whereas drive two you see less storage so that's gonna be our PCI a Gen 4 nvme m2 SSD from segment so that's where we're gonna want to install our operating systems we're going to select drive number 2 and then all we need to do is click Next and windows will copy all the files across and carry on with the installation you so this is normal for the computer to restart during this so don't worry about this at all ok so now we need to go ahead and set up windows so again here United Kingdom so we're gonna click YES on keyboard for the United Kingdom as well so click yes we don't want the out of secondary keyboard so we're going to click skip okay so we're going to set this up for personal use or that I click clouds and go to the next and then if you've got a Microsoft IUD it's worth putting this and I'm gonna pick mine in and then type in the password okay next so it's going to ask us to create a pin so I know to go ahead and do that and this is going to what we're going to use to log into Windows and then click OK that's going to ask us about using online speech recognition I'm just gonna turn that to don't use and head except I don't want it - no my locations when you go turn that off accept and obviously if you want different option to go out ahead and select what you want find my device I'm going to turn that off now I'm just gonna send basic Diagnostics no I don't want that new as well and known as well but again obviously pick what you want okay I'm gonna turn this off as well and go No and then it's gonna ask you about link in your phone and you can do that if you want I'm gonna click do that later I'm just gonna see if as the PC so I'm going to click this only see if as to this PC again if you want two different options than me go ahead and select them I gotta go - no thanks to the free trial of Microsoft 365 and not my - Cortana and when news is gonna get things ready to install the operating system okay so if neither windows installed it can be really tempting to go ahead and install programs and drivers that were thought I want to do at this stage but what I would recommend doing is updating windows to the latest version before doing any of that so if we go down to the bottom and click on the windows icon it in the bottom left hand corner of the screen and go to the settings and then updates and security and what we're going to want to do is check for updates so when does is gonna find lots of updates it's gone to install some of them for some of them it's gonna require a restart of the computer but we're just gonna let it complete all these updates until there's no more updates available and only when there's no more updates available are we gonna go on to the next step you okay so we just need to click restart nine to install the update and we're just going to keep repeating this tell there's no further updates available okay that's when those fully up to date so the next thing I want to do is get all our hard drives to show up on the PC click on the documents icon and then we click on this PC what you'll notice on the drives and devices we've only got one disk showing up so local disk C which has four hundred and thirty four gigabytes left or four hundred and sixty-five but we've actually got three hard drives installed in this PC but two of them are showing up so when it detects that so to do that if we were go into the search bar at the bottom and type in disk management and what will happen if the control panel shortcut will come up with Korea and for most hard disk partitions so if we click on that and as asking us we're gonna have to initialize the disk before we can use it so we're going to click ok so now we can see our drive so disc zero is four hundred and seventy six point nine two gigabytes of an allocated space desk one is exactly the same and then if we go down we can see disk two which is our m2 SSD which has our operating system on it so we need to go ahead and format of the drives drives zero and drive one before we can use them so what we want to do is right-click on the space and create a new simple volume we're going to take next next as we want to do the whole but we can allocate the disk a letter so at the moment has been allocated D I don't see any reason to change that so I'm gonna leave it exactly the same I don't like next so under this we can pick what file system we want to use we can allocate the unit size pick a volume label newly but I'm gonna changes the volume labeled us what the drive is going to show us so I'm gonna call it kc 6 hey I'm gonna head next and then we click finish and what you'll see now is that drive has been formatted and there's no irritation on it so it's just a matter of repeating the same step with disk one so right-click new simple volume next next it's gonna close the drive letter e that's fine next the only thing we've got a change is an M so KC 600 KC 600 and we're gonna call it B and hit next and finish okay so now that's shown up and you can see the devices have a ladder and also a name if we scam going to our me and drive which has been formatted us see it doesn't have a name so we want the add one we just right click on it go to properties and then we can type a name into the box so we're gonna call that say Brent rockets I then click OK so you know see all our drives have names and letters so we close this time and go back then into this PC what you'll notice is that all our discs know are showing up so they've been all three drives available to us so we've got the sidrón rocket KC 600 a KC 600 B okay so now we've the window is fully up-to-date and we've got all our disks showing up the next thing I want to do is install the drivers okay so what we want to do is head over to Emma size page and find our motherboard so we've got the be 550 tomahawk I'll put a link to this in the description to see if you happen to find it and then click on support and then if we go to driver select our operating system so Windows 10 64 bit and then we've got a list of drivers that we can install so if we expand each of these okay so what we've got on offer and we have the a m4 rear driver so we're not going to use nuts so I don't see any reason to install that there's the AMD chipset driver so we can either install it from here or we can stall it directly from AMD so we've got a AMD graphics drivers we've got a separate graphics card from Nvidia so we're not gonna need to install this and we've got HD Universal drivers so we can go ahead and install this and we've also got land drivers so we can go ahead and install these so probably the chipset driver is gonna be reasonably up-to-date because this motherboard has just been released but I think it's probably better practice to get this directly from AMD so we'll install the other drivers and then we'll go and get this from AMD so the install the drivers all we want to do is click the download button and then cut open okay so once this time lose if we click on it to open and there's a setup file we can click on we're gonna click yes now we're just gonna follow the on-screen instructions so we're gonna go to next click install okay and then finish okay so that's the land drivers installed next thing we're going to install the onboard audio driver so they click the download button click open once it's downloaded it look like on the file I click on the setup yes I just click next and it's just a matter of waiting for it to install it's gonna want us to restart our computer so we may as well do not mind I could finish ok so that's all the drivers I want to install from here we're gonna get the chips a driver from a Indies website and we're also gonna need drivers for a graphics card which we're gonna get from Nvidia's website so let's head over to AMD's website ok so I'm gonna put a link to this page in the description so you don't have to find it click on drivers and support and then we go down we're looking for the chipset driver we've got an A in for socket and we have got the B 550 chipset so we click Submit we've got Windows 10 64 bit and then all we need to do is click on download and we're gonna do the same thing run we're gonna click on yes okay all we need to do then is click install okay so that's installed all we need to do is restart the computer again so we'll click on restart ok so we head over to you and videos website and again you'll find a link to this in the description click on drivers and GeForce drivers so I like the GeForce experience so I'm gonna download this and click run we're gonna click on yes that's gonna go ahead and install the GeForce experience you look like agreein and soul and then we can go ahead and sign in so I'm gonna put my login details so we're gonna skip the tour for nine okay so when I want to check and see if there's any drivers available so we click on drivers and then where it says check for updates if we click on the three that old dots it's gonna give you a choice to drive or a preference so if you're built in the computer mostly for gaming you're gonna want to select game already driver if it's mostly for content creation and video Addison you've got a lot of the studio driver so I would do more of a do everything and give me I'm gonna click on the studio driver but I'll see just whatever your preferences so it's knife either there's a video driver available so we're gonna click on download you okay so it's now you're ready to install I'm just gonna go for the Express installation no importantly our screen will flicker during the installation that's nothing to worry about it's completely normal just as the drivers are mean and sold so I'll let the we'll let things install so again this is the flickering of the screen that I was mentioning just as the drivers were installing so don't worry about this and it's saying - we need to restart the system to complete the installation process we're gonna do that no you start mine okay so that's all the drivers that I think we need to install there is one more bit of software that I would recommend installing and that's back over on MSI's page ok we're back on the page where we got our drivers from so this time we're gonna track it on the utility tab we're gonna select our operating system is Windows 10 64 bit and then we're gonna go ahead and download MSI Dragon Center because this is what allows control the RGB on the motherboard so click download folder click on dragon center and click rum we're gonna go yes we're gonna select English I'm gonna click install okay SUSE open dragon central to school into the Windows menu and click on the dragon center we're gonna agree with the privacy policy now we're gonna click on continue like rum yes okay next I accept the agreement next install and then finish you okay that's Dragon Center install so it's mystic light that we're looking for to control the RGB on our motherboard so we go ahead and click on it okay so we've got our motherboard showing up we've got all the motherboards and it selects it and we've got selected all you want to change individual components you can select them from here or we can go select all at the moment they're on rainbow so I'm a fan of having them in white so I'm gonna select a static color let's say you may find that they're static and I would like it to be a white color so the drag is all the way to the top and then hit apply so now that has turned to white although our rom comes from Coursera and you can of course install the IQ software to control the RAM we're able to do it from this software as well so to me it makes sense just add the one software to control everything you will get more effects well thank you but again I like setting my round just to light so that's all I'm gonna do so I'm gonna go over it here click on steady drag this all the way to the top to white and hit apply and Iran is annoying white okay and while we're talking about RGB it's a good opportunity for me to show you how the front panel lighting works so a little button on the top and all we need to do is press it to cycle through the different modes so I'm not found a white sign gotta leave it on wait for an eye okay so that's all the programs and drivers we need to get us up and going there's a couple more things what I want to do so I want to adjust the RAM speeds and have a look at the found curves but to do that we're going to need to head over into the BIOS so what we need to do is restart our computer and when the MSI logo comes up at the start we just need to press the Delete key and that will take us into the BIOS so let's go ahead and do that okay so I'm just waiting for the logo see up here on the screen and then I'm going to press Delete or if you won't just keep pressing delete to anytime and it will take you into the vise so there we go okay so ii mentioned the first thing i want to do is check our memory speed which is quite often it won't run after this specified speed on the memory straight out of the box so we can see our memory is currently running at to 133 megahertz where we know I can run out thirty two hundred megahertz so we have a look down here there's two XMP profiles that we can enable profile 1 and profile 2 but when we look at them they're exactly the same so all we want to do is enable one of the profiles by clicking up here I'm not then she'd turn our memory to let it run at 3200 megahertz ok next thing I want to do is have a look at the phone's so if we click on the phone info and then click on the settings ok so what you can see is we have a number of fans here so we've got a CPU phone we've got system found one two three four and five those remember we plugged in farms into five the system found headers but we didn't use system found six because we've only got five system fan headers if we had a water pump it would be showing up here for example if we had installed an AI oh so you just wanna check that we're happy with the way all the fans are set up okay so we have a look at our CPU fan which is CPU one it's currently running in auto mode and each of the fans has four pens so we can enable PWM we've also got smartphone mode turned on which is absolutely fine also up here we can see as taken as temperature from the CPU core and then it adjusts the speed at runs out depending on what the CPU core temperature is so we want to adjust any of these we could adjust these points over here on the curve I'm going to leave them all of default at the moment until we've done some noise and thermal testing and then we can use that to decide how we're going to adjust that or even whether we need to adjust this at all so we covered a system fan one we can see it's currently running in DC mode so it is one of our three pen fan so we wanted them DC Mo's if I was to collect PWM mode it would run at full speed so you'll notice now it's all the way up at a thousand revs per minute which is the most this fan can do so this is my I'm Stannis important you come in here and check your motherboard is running it right so we're gonna put it back to DC mode because that's the way it should be it's working off the CPU core temperature and we're gonna enable smart phone moves as well so system found 2 & 3 are exactly the same so we can just keep them all in DC mode and smart downloads okay so that's the fans are running the way I want them to know system fans four five are the ones that have PWM control as well because they have got four pins on their connectors so we're just going to go ahead and enable that and turn on smart phone mode and also do it for system found five so to see if only sellings all we need to press is the X button in the top right hand corner press it again and it's gonna show us a summary of what we have done so we can see here we've chained CPI found one from auto to PWM we have enabled smartphone control in all the fans and return system found four and five from DC mood to PWM and we've also enabled and the XMP profile as well so click see if click yes to see of these okay so this one the checkered memory is and I run a thirty two hundred megahertz we right click here and go to task manager we go to the performance tab click on the memory and we can see here the speed is thirty two hundred megahertz okay so that's the PC built on the initial steps I would recommend you doing after you build the PC to get your starters so
