    I looked again, apparently they are "optional", lol. Playing around, I did notice a similar 3 prong connector on that assembly that when I removed it the light on the top fan went out

    Yea, front fans working. They come off that same spot but plugged into the cable used for hdd and cd drives. Will have to check the others

    Finished the build, mostly went smooth. One issue though, have 2 extra connectors from the case I have no idea where go or what they are for. The last picture is where they come out of. It's not labeled, and nothing about it on the documentation. All fans and lifts are on so far as I can tell

    CPU question

    HI everyone, thinking of doing a build, and considering the AMD Route. how much of a difference is there between the Ryzen 7 3700X and 2700X? looking at the specs, they're both 8 core and run about the same speed. The 2700 is a tenth of a GHZ slower both regular and overclocked. I did notice...

    yea, bought it the other day. but from searching the internet seems to affect some systems and not others. some people had problems with shutting down but could restart fine, some couldn't do either. so could be some kind of compatibility issue.

    that's exactly what mine was doing. seemed like a software thing but being a complete novice I wasn't sure. but fixed it by changing the power options. like I said in an above post, windows 10 has this weird fast startup/shutdown feature that keeps the kernel running so it can start up...

    oh, it does snap in now. when I said went in but wouldn't lock I meant before I bent it back. what kind of issues were you having? haven't experienced any so far. but like I said, the port isn't an issue as it will never be used.

    considering first build

    i just want to make sure it isn't going to cause a short or anything. it will connect to the internet through wireless USB adapter, which is already set up, so that won't be an issue. I really don't want to take the damn thing apart if it wont cause any harm Edit: just bent the damn thing...

    aside from appearance, does it matter? the port isn't blocked, and wont be used anyway.

    thanks. I thought it was right, but wasn't sure. when I was putting the board in i wasn't sure what those tabs were or what to do with them; whether I should bend them back or what. have read a million times how important is was the MB not touch the case, so didn't want to force things...

    considering first build

    the standoffs on the case were preinstalled. it came with extra, but the the preinstalled ones lined up correctly. and I did snap in the IO shield. i think whats go me unsure is it seems there are "spacers" for lack of a better word, that keep the MB from touching the plate. if you look at...

    back with an update. well, everything came in and I just just finished my build. definitely a bit of a learning curve, and I feel like I learned A LOT. now, a couple issues and a couple questions. first of all, not sure if this is a software or hardware issue, but I can't shut the computer...

    It's all good, I do value the knowledge here. If I didnt, I wouldn't post. My point is, when I said I wanted an intel build it would have been nice if people had put together some intel builds, or helped me tweak mine instead of pushing amd.

    Some people definitely think that. But the overwheling impression I got from a little research was: For most people and application you wont notice a difference Each one does some things better Amd is a better value, especially at the high end
