How to assemble a P C

I would not recommend that you assemble a PC without having at least once watched someone else do it from start to finish. Highly edited online videos cannot count. At least for the first time, do it with the guidance of someone who knows how to assemble a PC. Without expert assistance, you might apply too much force or too little force and run into problems. No book is a substitute to real practical experience.

Precautions : Handle PC components with care. If a pin is bent or a solder joint becomes loose, the entire component will become unusable. Also, before touching a PC components, discharge your body of excess static electric energy by (grounding yourself by) touching a reasonably big metallic object such as a steel chair. You must not be dropping beads of sweat on the components so make the room comfortably airy but not too drafty. Remember that you cannot make connections too tight or too loose. Read all manuals. Installation procedure prescribed by them is more relevant than the following generic description of the steps.

Install CPU : Stack some old newspapers and place the motherboard over it. Get the CPU-heatsink-fan combo out. Relax the CPU retention lever on the motherboard. Align the CPU properly and gently insert it into the socket. Snap back the retention lever. The thermal compound would have been already factory-applied to the heatsink. If it has a foil, remove it. Place the heatsink over the CPU and tighten the screws that came with it. Connect the CPU fan power cable to its header (pins) in the motherboard. DO NOT START PC WITHOUT THE FAN CONNECTION.

Install RAM : Relax the retention snaps on both sides of the memory slots. Properly align the RAM modules and insert them into the slots. Knock the retention snaps on the modules.

Install motherboard : Spread some more newspapers and place the computer case on them. Remove the left panel. Find the packet of screws, nuts and washers in the case and place it outside.
