Pretty much as title says. I know this system is way more then I will ever need, but I'm getting a lot of it for free with Graduation money, so I figured I might as well go way, way, overboard. Excuse the lack of thermal paste and hard drive, I have those at home
Really, all I need to know is if all this stuff is compatible. I checked all the obvious stuff, but my big concern is if my whole HSF thing will work. I am using a HDT heatsink, with a 1366 bracket. I did check out XIGMATEK's page for the bracket, and although the web site doesn't say it will work with the HSF I chose, the PDF on the bottom does, plus someone on Newegg claims to have it working. I originally had a cooler that was compatible with the i7 out of the box, but I feared it would be too tall for the CM Storm Scout. I will not be overclocking.
The other thing was the EATX 12V extension I am using. The motherboard only has a 8 pin socket, but there is a removable plastic cap over the other 4 pins. I was just going to take the cap off, and run the extension cable straight in there. They don't connect those extra 4 pins to ground, do they? I would assume those other pins would just be not connected, and the full 8 pin connector is there so that if your PSU doesn't have a EATX 12V connector that splits, you are still ok. Am I right?
Thanks!
