I'll post some later on today when I have more natural light :P (it's 4:08AM as of posting this)

Sorry I haven't posted lately! I have to say I am REALLY happy with the end result, and especially the fact that I built it myself (aside from the help here - which is VERY much appreciated!) A quick question though, what is a "good"/expected temperature for the graphics card? Mine is about 46...

The connector I have plugged in has three-pins Alright, I'll take a look :) It kicks on when I boot it (I'm only doing test boots for now), so I'm not sure if I'll come close to the temperature it would need. Also, on the box it says it's thermally controlled, so I'm assuming that means it will...

Got everything plugged in and did a second test boot but got a CPU Fan Error showing up on my monitor, along with a no keyboard detected error (which is fine). What confuses me is the CPU fan is spinning fine, any idea what could cause the error? Also, is the power supply fan only supposed to...

It looks like the first one. From what I've read though, I should be able to unplug the molex plug and just use the three-pin to connect to the points on the motherboard? I also read somewhere that Molex plugs are mainly for plugging it into the power supply (if you don't have enough case fan...

Hey guys! I started the build today and the out-of-case boot went fine! :D I mounted the motherboard, power supply and started hooking things up, but I'm purplexed.. Where do my case fans hook in? They have a 3-pin connected to another three pin which ends up being a 4-pronged thing. I looked in...

Rush processing and next-day. And it's alright, at least I get responses here - other forums have just buried my threads (most of which were simply noob questions, too). And according to UPS and Newegg (not sure if they sink results or something), but the estimated delivery date is 9/24 (which...

I don't think it is, but I'm hoping it is haha. Kinda pisses me off since that's the only thing stopping me from continuing with the build, but what can you do. Edit: Looks like I missed this in their FAQ: "No deliveries will be made on Saturday or Sunday.".. Looks like I'm waiting until Monday...

That's what it looks like. Got the retention bracket ordered yesterday, just waiting for NewEgg to ship it (it's 10:48PM on a Friday night); really hoping to have it tomorrow since I paid for next day..

Thermal paste? If so, it has it

Would this work for the mounting bracket?: COOLER MASTER RR-ACCY-2011-R1 Intel LGA 2011 Reten...

Are the mounts for the fan supposed to go through to the bottom of the motherboard? Me and my Dad got the bracket aligned, but we couldn't figure out if they are supposed to go through and be tightened down by the nuts. The instructions really aren't clear

I got all of the parts today, but unfortunately the CPU fan/heatsink isn't compatible :/

I don't know if I can get any of putting it together, but I'll try; and I'll definitely post pics after! :)

Thanks for the info :)
