All language subtitles for 4_Putting it All Together Adding the RAM And The Drive

Let's install our RAM,
locate the DIMM slots on your motherboard.

So, these are the DIMM slots
like we discussed before,

I have four slots available here and I
have four RAM sticks, lemme pick those up,

that's my RAM sticks and
of course they're my anti static bag.

Just take them out.

So as mentioned before this build,
we're going to use DDR3 RAM.

All right, one thing I like to do before
I install my RAM is to make sure that I

align these slots with my RAM slots, so

that way I'm not going to be forcing
those in when it's time to install.

So, if you see right here,
you start to align in the middle.

So something I do is before I put it in,
just visually make sure that you got this

right, then align the rest of your RAM
sticks to the same position, like this.

Sort of go like this,
like this and like this,

that way you're not going to
be damaging your pins

if you pick your RAM sticks up and
accidentally force it in.

So now we've got that, we're going to
put this in this slot right here.

Line up the pins correctly and
pushing the RAM until you hear click.

You know it's secure when both sides
of the RAMs are locked in place.

And there's something else you
should know, your slots right here,

they're both black and white.

We're going to stick to
using the white slots.

There's two and we're also
going to put this one right here.

There you go, you've securely fastened
your RAM inside your motherboard.

Next, we have our hard
drive in this example,

we're using an SSD SATA
hard drive instead of HDD,

we just need to use one SATA cable
to connect it to our motherboard.

So first, I'm going to go ahead and
slot this in this cage.

This is going to vary from case to case,
but this one's going to be easy, all we

had to do was just slide it in like so and
normally you'll hear it click, like that.

Once that's in,

we just need to use one SATA cable to
connect our SSD to our motherboard.

Lemme go and get that.

So here we go, here's a SATA cable.

So what I'm going to do is I'm
going to connect this end to our SSD,

I'm going to connect this
end to our motherboard.

There we go, it's in.

Remember, SATA cables
can only go in one way.

So now that we have our SSD installed,
let's go ahead and install our case fan.

And this is how this looks like.

One thing to note is a small X,
you're going to go ahead and

find a label on your motherboard
that says rear fans.

Not all motherboards have this, but
in this example we do have that, so

just to note.

Get those into the grooves, there you go,

my fan's installed and
now I'm going to go ahead and

attach this to the more AX, there we go.

Now my fan is attached to my motherboard.

The best practice you want to create
a wind tunnel that takes an air,

blows it over your components and
then pushes it all out back.

Check out how our heat
sink has a fan on it too.

That's pretty normal since our
CPU generates a lot of heat and

we want to help cool it
off as best as we can.

We're almost done,
now we're going to connect our power and

test to see if everything's working.

So let's grab our power supply.

Here we are.

First, let's secure our
power supply to our case.

Be careful not to damage
the motherboard when you install it,

what you're going to do is you're
going to put this in slowly like that and

then just slide it in, there you go.

One thing I like to do is I like to put
my cables all the way up to the side, so

like I mentioned before, it's not going to
go ahead and damage the motherboard.

So now I'm going to go ahead and
start securing my power supply.

It's always fun getting it, there we go.

As you can see, I normally like to
go ahead and start my fingers so

it's easier to get in.

And then once I put all my screws in,
I'm going to go ahead and

use my screwdriver and
fasten it, tighten that.

There you go.

So let's go ahead and
tighten our screws right here.

Great, so now we've secured
our power supply to the case,

so some won't move anywhere.

And just another note, you can also
install the power supply before adding it

to the motherboard depending
on how your case is laid out.
