can't get all the screws to screw into mobo. is this ok?help me on aim

I can get about half of them. I can't get the 2 ones closest to the I/O thingy. Can't get the exact middle one. and cant get the one that is top middle. It basically makes a square(top left). Is this ok? I have a gigabyte x48 ds4, and a cm 690 case.

and I can't seem to figure out the fans and how to install them. they connect to a 3pin adapter thing which turns into a much bigger 4 pin and a 4 pin reciever. On my mobo there are like 4 fan connects actually 5 i think.

it says theres a cpu_fan(4 pins), a sys_fan2(4 pins), sys_fan1(3 pins), pwr_fan(3 pins).

thens theres also a nb_fan(3 pins).

can someone talk to me on aim to help? strider1338

thanks.

Well I think the I/O panel is causing that corner to lift off the case a little bit causing there to be extra space between the board and the case backing. should I try moving the connectings out of the I/O panel??

So does it matter which 3 pin connection I hook it up to?? I mean aside from the cpu fan, arent they pretty much the same? And where is the cpu fan connect? I can't seem to find it.

the retention bracket shouldn't do that...

Are you using jumpers in between the mobo and the case??

As for where the fans plug into check the mobo manual and it will show you the locations of the cpu fan and case fans. If you dont care about controlling the case fan speeds through the bios then i would just connect them using the 4 pin connector and not worry about the 3 pin.

good call Kari... thats exactly the problem i bet.

kari..excellent call friend +1
