installing striker extreme

glennxx1 · 05-11-2008, 12:08 AM

do i need to put anything behind the board? like spacers etc? i sat it in there and it just doesnt seem like it would just lay flat in there

you need standoffs behind it but thats all

whats a standoff? and should it be in my box?

glennxx1 · 05-11-2008, 12:19 AM

ahh, ok, little brass looking things, got em, does it matter what screws i put in?

you need to match them up with the holes on the motherboard with the metal around them not the holes without metal if there are any

i put my mobo in and forgot to put the plate in that covers up the audio/ethernet/ps2 side panel

eh its not that big of a deal.

did you remember to put the spacers behind the motherboard though? they make it so the leads on the back of the motherboard do not short on the metal motherboard tray.

yea i put the standoffs in, yeah i thought it was funny i left the panel off, but i got it back on there now, im installing the striker extreme, im running some of my wires now, it doesnt appear to have a place for front audio hook ups, im looking through the manual now and i cant find anything on it
