Tutorials to build your own pc:
Building your custom pc is a strenious task. The essential components needed for building a custom pc is given above. We first find out the right slots on to which all these pc parts are fitted.
First step is the installation of the CPU. We open the CPU socket lever on the motherboard and align the CPU with the socket and gently place it in and close the lever.
Next we install the CPU cooler and for that we apply thermal paste to the CPU if necessary and mount the CPU cooler according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then we connect the cooler’s power cable to the appropriate header on the motherboard.
Next step is the installation of RAM. For this we open the RAM slots by pushing the clips outward and Align the RAM sticks with the slots and press down firmly until they click into place.
Now is the time to install the motherboard for this we place the motherboard standoffs in the case if not pre-installed and then align the motherboard with the standoffs and the I/O shield. Then we secure the motherboard with screws.
Next is the installation of power supply unit(PSU). Position the PSU in its designated spot in the case, then secure it with screws. Connect the main power cables to the motherboard (24-pin and 8-pin/4-pin CPU power).
Next step is installing the storage device for that place your SSD or HDD in the appropriate drive bay and secure it with screws and then connect the SATA data cable to the motherboard and the SATA power cable from the PSU.
Installing the GPU is the trickiest part for this remove the appropriate expansion slot covers from the case.Align the GPU with the PCIe slot on the motherboard and push down until it clicks then secure the GPU with screws.Connect the necessary power cables from the PSU.
Attach the front panel connectors (power button, reset button, USB ports, audio jacks) to the motherboard headers.Connect case fans to the motherboard or PSU. The next step is to connect the monitor into the the CPU and a power source. Finally cross check all the connections. Now your are ready to go. Boot up your system and enjoy!
Optimizing custom build pcs:
Optimizing your computer is crucial to ensure it runs efficiently and provides the best performance. Optimization is of various types. Constantly doing BIOS and Firmware update helps enhance stability and performance of your computer. It helps fix bugs and enhances security features of your pc. Firmware updates can also help improve power management of your custom pc and hence reduce the wear and tear.
Overclocking is another way of optimizing your custom pc. But it comes with it’s pros and cons. Overclocking can help tweak the performance of your custom pc but it can cause stability issues and exessive heating. It also voids the standard company warranty.
Updating computer drivers can also help optimize your custom pc.
