a few problems installingm y motherboard, please help

[ricflairandy]

Hi, bit the bullet and baught a nf7 toady

When installing the motherboard, it doesnt sit totally flush on the studs.

What i mean , is that if i screw in the bottom row of screws, and then the middle row, the top row end up pushing th board down, kind of bending it slightly.

is this ok?

Secondly, is there a set amount of space that has to be between the slots end of teh case and the board?
Because when im trying to install my usb bracket, it seems as if the bracket is actually touching the board. Is this safe? as i cant see any way of moving the board back

Cheers guys

That sounds as though there's something pushing the motherboard up - check that you've put all the 'studs' into the case properly, and none are out of place.

checked and they all seem to be in fine. it really is just a tiny bit.

Risk it then. if you're lucky or things fine nothing gonna blow up. If not,well ....

also guys, my new case has a side fan, leds and an led on the front. In total 3 power connectors. Am i ok to lopp these through each other and then onto the harddrive or should i use a sperate one for the hardrive.

I'd use a seperate one.
It's OK to put fans, lights and other bling and the same molex tho.

Give ur HDs one line for it. Another for fans, light etc.. Or use 2 PSU (like me ^^)
