I just finished building my new rig and everything went quite well (which is good since it's my first time building). However, I do have a few follow up questions.
1. I felt that I had a more difficult time mounting the motherboard that expected. I mounted all of the standoffs correctly, but one seemed a little tougher to screw in. I did get it screwed in, but maybe not as well as the rest of them. It didn't effect the motherboard as I got that screwed down to the standoffs just fine (the MB doesn't seem uneven). I take it that's not that big of a deal, right?
2. The case fans are plugged into the motherboard (SYSFAN ports 1,2, and 3). Is that better/worse than having them plugged into the PSU or does it not really matter?
I can get a little paranoid with stuff like this and want a second opinion. Thanks!
Specs:
i7 2600K
MSI P67A-GD55
CM 690II Advanced
MSI GTX460 Hawk
650W PSU (Corsair)
