My Desktop Computer

This is first time since 2005 that I have Desktop computer. I have open the big tower(bigger than my old tower of 2005!) and had good look at the small motherboard. I have notice that the ram is just next to CPU! The graphics card is also next to it if I buy Graphics card for it.

Click the picture as then you can zoom it :)

My Tower and it is massive!

Attachment 82047

CPU is close to the RAM and also GPU(Graphics card if I going put in!)
Attachment 82048

Good Close up of CPU

Attachment 82049

For Hard drive and SSD Hard drive which I will put in later!
Attachment 82053

Back of the Tower and you may notice that there is HDMI which back year 2005 as I didnt that.
Attachment 82054

I need to get Gaming monitor next :D

You know SSD Hard drive and I have notice there are 2 black SATA and also 3 Yellow SATA.

Which one do I plug in to? Black or yellow or it doesnt matter?

Either. But the motherboard's manual will tell you which are connected to the internal Intel chipset and which are controlled by the 3rd party chip. Intel is usually the preferred option here as they tend to be slightly faster.
The second scenario, of course, could be that the colours are to show the fact that some are SATA2 and some are SATA3 - then you'd definitely want to use the SATA3 connectivity for the SSD.

Really need to take a look at the manual, either way.

Looks great, good luck with the project :)

Thanks fitzsteve:)

Hey RichyV

I have checked the manual and it say

Black SATA is SATA ATA 3GB/S

Yellow SATA is SATA ATA 6GB/S

So the answer is Black Sata for SSD Hard drive....is that correct?:unsure:

Connect your ssd to the yellow ports and CD/DVD drives to the black ones. 3GB/s is SataII and 6gb/s is SataIII

Thanks scrappysphinx :)

I got the computer up and running. I went control panel and check device. I have notice that I dont have wireless WI FI

So I need get Wireless WI FI or would USB Wireless WI FI any good?

Just need download Driver on memory stick then port to my new computer!

The new pc is quiet which is nice even thought if I did get beefy graphics card then it going be noisey! LOL

USB Wireless are fine. They avoid using up a PCI slot and in an emergency you can pull it at any time to immediately go offline.

RAM should be as close to the CPU as possible. It is one of the highest frequency buses outside the CPU, so you want to keep the PCB tracks as short as possible, otherwise you'll have an EMC nightmare on your hands.

Bryce.

EMC?

It is electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC)?

I havnt got clue what this is.

I will have look at USB Wireless tomorrow when I am in town like maplin or somethings like that.

I having trouble finding B85M-G Driver for my motherboard on internet..... does anyone know where find honest website for it?

You can get the drivers from Asus website. They are there. Also I had a 3 fan gigabyte windforce gfx 760 card in that PC and even under load I could not hear it. Half the reason why I purchased the case in the first place to be honest.
