No need malu as long as you're willing to learn and take it slow. My first build took like 3-4 hours. I did very slowly, took breaks, didn't want to rush anything.

What 'final cables'? If you did part by part, you shouldn't have any 'final cables'.. unless you installed everything then want to connect cables, that one yes, will be damn confusing.

Suggest you remove everything and restart one by one.

Can also take pics? Think the bros here sure can guide.

Wah! Didn't know got such a comprehensive thread for this! Thanks for sharing.

Now I'm left with basically all the cabling. The only things I've connected are the 2 casing fans and the cpu fans. I was following a youtube video.

Also I bought a modular PSU, so really not sure which of the cables I need. Haha.

Right now do until very tired liao. Maybe I will try again tomorrow, if not just go SLS pay $10 for them to help me. Haha.

"Finally, we see improved audio performance due to the SupremeFX audio solution from Asus. We've seen this technology on higher end motherboards in the past but never on a budget board such as this. The H97 Pro Gamer combines high quality audio capacitors with a well shielded sound chip and tracer line, meaning you'll hear less background noise in music and games, and should aid towards having an incredibly clear audio experience. We also find a headphone amplifier capable of powering headphones up to 300Ohms which is something we really do love to see on motherboards."

Cause I saw this. Haha. Don't know improve how much though.

 

[DrSheldonCooper]

Dota 2?

Damn difficult to start playing hor. Walau I go the youtube see tutorial. Knn 100+ characters!
