Actually, i would recommend doing a minimal install (cpu/heatsink, ram, video, keyboard) outside the case first [edit] to make sure that it will POST [/edit]. It makes it easier to troubleshoot and saves you time if it doesnt post. Plus, some boards will short out on the case. Very tough to troubleshoot this when the board is in the case. 🙂 If you POST outside the case then you know you are safe to deal with all the little PIA pin connectors, etc. 😉

im not exactly sure what u mean 😛 but I have a Kingwin case that has a slideout try that has the slots/mobo connected to it so its easier to install stuff 🙂 what do you mean by "to make sure it will post"?

hello 🙂 right now im installing and Im using the http://www.hardwarezone.com/guides/amd-socket939/index.php?&pg=1 guide. Im on step 12 where I put in the power supply. My OCZ PowerStream 600W has a 20+4 connector.. and i have a asus a8n sli deluxe motherboard so what do I do to install this? do I put the 20 pin in and put the 4 pin on the other part of motherboard in the upper left to the processor or do i just put all 24 in the place where I plug in the powersupply to the motherboard?
