New Motherboard Installation.

AshyCFC · Jan 10, 2014

Got a new Mobo, It's an ATX(I had an MATX before) I know my case can take ATX size motherboards already so I'm fine on that.

I'm just looking for advice on what I need to do to install it beside just screwing it in and assuring all parts are attached.

It's a http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-970A-DS3P-Motherboard-Socket-Express/dp/B00CX4MUCC

thanks a lot for your help in advance.

That's it.

Remove the old motherboard and I/O plate.
Install the new I/O plate.
Align the new motherboard to the new I/O plate and motherboard risers.
Secure the new motherboard to the risers.
Reattach all other components/drives
Depending on your old motherboard, re-install Windows.

the ATX motherboards need 9 screws and stand-offs.

in your case you will find the screw holes mentioned with M/A or A this means this hole is for mATX or ATX

i mean but 3 stand-offs in the holes A and simply put your board in the case and screw the all 9 holes in your motherboard.

Quick note, New Mobo didn't come with screws. Will my older MATX one have the right screws/amount in them?

If not, what screws will I need?

This is the case: (basic i know) http://www.amazon.co.uk/CiT-Tower-Part-Mesh-Gaming-Display/dp/B0062MC80U/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1389372205&sr=1-2&keywords=CIT+mars+case

The old screws should work. If not, my old PC Screw Kit says Screw M3 x 1/4" long for attaching the motherboard to the standoff.
