#

First pc build and i messed up 😭

#

Ive screwed the fans to the radiator and wired these before putting the bracket in between

#

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

Ok let's look at what funkery is going on here. This is the x53?

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

Yes

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

Ok, first, I think the white LED is suppose to be facing outside. Where are you planning to mount this rad?

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

Front

#

Lemme remove the fans

#

What now

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

This is what you are trying to do on ur build right.

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

And just two clarify if i mount it with the led outwards it will be exhaust right

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

LED outside is intake

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

So these are exhaust

#

#

I just need two opposites

#

So if these two are exhausts ill put the other two intake

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:54 AM

#

Ok so that's fine

#

those are exhaust fans. The led side take in air, the other side exhaust out air

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

#

blue is the bracket, purple is the radiator, orange is the fans

#

#

you want the fans facing wher it pulls air into the case

#

@glass meteor

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

Like markus shown above, if that's the orientation you are trying to do (those are intake fans), then you need to put LED side facing the glass of the case

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

Alright

#

it'll leave more room inside the case

#

but you won't see your RGB

#

So should i leave the bracket in and put the fans or take it our

#

Its alr out

#

But should i put it back in

#

you need to take it out to mount everything together

#

Like so?

#

the h510 is an absolutely horrible case to build in

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

Which bracket is this?

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

the front fan bracket

#

#

yeah

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

Oh god those

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

Put the screw through em

#

and then you want the radiator right behind it

#

yeah

#

Alr

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

I'd advice to put the rad on top if it can fit

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

you cant

#

its only 120mm on top

#

Ye

#

Its so hard moving the radiation

#

Since its that big wire

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

Ok yeah, you would need to take the bracket out, mount the fans on it, then put the bracket back in, mount the aio on the other side to fit the fan screw

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

Ion know how im supposed to screw these in

#

So now i just put this in?

#

Then get the radiatior from the other side

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

Ah, try this. If you screw the bracket in between the rad and the fans, can it go back in the case?

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

tawny belfry Ah, try this. If you screw the bracket in between the rad and the fans, can it g...

One sec imma try that

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:05 AM

#

glass meteor Then get the radiatior from the other side

Its kind of difficult so imma js try this

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

glass meteor Ion know how im supposed to screw these in

Wait i messed up

#

The wires should face the other sides

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

Try just assemble the rad on the other side of the bracket with the fans screw onto the rad and the bracket on your table, then put the bracket back

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

So it faces the outside of the case

#

I messed up right

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

Rad should go on this side that's facing us

#

the fans should be the other side

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

Yes but the wires

#

Should face the back of the case right

#

Wiat im stupid

#

That means i did it right

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

You can fit the wires through the front holes

#

so it's fine

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

Oh alr

#

I cant connect the radiatior to the brscket and fans without worrying the pump is gonna hit something

#

Is there any way to disconnect it or something

#

just let it hang

#

Wym

#

From the side of the table

#

Like let it hang down

#

yeah

#

Alr

#

just keep the protector on the thermal paste

#

Alr

#

Protector doesnt fit

#

Cz i alr changed the bracket to am4

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

Just make sure the thermal paste isn't gonna touch any surface

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

Alr

#

Is this supposed to happen

#

The screw went like inn

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:18 AM

#

that's fine

#

though don't screw it too hard

#

#

Basically, you have 2 options, we are trying to get you to do the first option since that would give you more space in the case

#

Option 1 - fans led facing outward

#

You can do option 2 and that's where the fans led would face inward toward the radiator

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:23 AM

#

Option one is intake right

#

And 2 is exhaust

#

3 out of the 8 screws refuse to go in

#

Should i remove all and re screw

#

they're both intake

#

Oh

#

Well its too late alr made it option 2 😭

#

what gpu do you have again

#

3060ti

#

Y

#

ah

#

you'll be fine

#

Lmao

#

What do i do now

#

put it in the case

#

How do i put the bracket and fans in

#

just

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:29 AM

#

You can do option 2 if you are having issue doing it in between

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:29 AM

#

Cz the screen

#

the way you took the bracket out

#

Will go around flying

#

you just put it in

#

there's nothing you can do about the pump, just have it rest somewhere

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:30 AM

#

screw aio onto the bracket, then screw fans onto the aio

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:30 AM

#

or mount it onto the cpu and then mount the radiator in

#

Wait shit

#

I gotta redo thi

#

I made the radiator pump be down

#

the orientation of the screen doesn't matter

#

you can rotate it in the program

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:31 AM

#

Dont worry about the pump for now

#

worry about getting the rads and fans on the right way to the brackt

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

#

This wire is in the way

#

What do i do

#

move it so its not in the way'

#

Its connected from both sides

#

I gotta unscrew

#

Its stuck between

#

Im so stupid

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

Are you screwing the fans onto the rad now like option 2?

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

Im never building a pc again

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

tawny belfry Are you screwing the fans onto the rad now like option 2?

Yes

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

Just let the cable hang or try to fit it through that hole so you ca n group it to the back of the case

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

if you dont want to build the pc anymore you can bring it to microcenter and they'll build it for you for a fee

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

Tuck it thru the holes on the bracket @glass meteor and worry about organizing it later

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

Too late 😭

#

This major?

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:40 AM

#

Can you send pic of the entire thing?

#

If it's attached to the fans, don't worry about it

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

tawny belfry Can you send pic of the entire thing?

Wdym

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:44 AM

#

Like send pic of how the rad and fans are attached to the bracket

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

So you are going with option 1? Ok

#

Now put that bracket in the case, can it fit?

#

Don't worry about the cables

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

#

Am i good

#

What next

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

It fits? Fantastic

#

Now install your pump onto the cpu

#

All the screws are tight on the bracket and aio yes?

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

I gotta unscrew these right

#

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

tawny belfry All the screws are tight on the bracket and aio yes?

Yeppp

#

O no i js saw this

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:51 AM

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:52 AM

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

#

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

Ah ok. And no. You don't need to unscrew anything. You got the am4 bracket on the pump head?

#

Oh I hate those am4 clips

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

Yes

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

Well...the hardest part is to clip those things on

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

So i just push it in?

#

Is it ok to bend like this?

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:56 AM

#

Yeah that's fine.

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

need to unscrew the brackets

#

Alr

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

What does your manual says for am4 installation? @glass meteor

#

I thought he still have the old bracket for am4.

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

The mobo?

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

The aio manual

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

#

Which one

#

So i cant give better qual

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:02 AM

#

Installing the pump Am4/Am5

#

Follow the instruction on that picture

#

I thought you have the clipper style bracket like the ones I have. Must've mistaken corsair ones.

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:05 AM

#

Gimme a few mins

#

I need a lik food break

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:40 AM

#

tawny belfry

Whats the original backplate

#

It says and keep the original backplate on the rear of the motherboard

#

@glass meteor

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:41 AM

#

If your mobo has it. I don't think your mobo has one

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

So what do i do noww

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

Follow thru the rest of the instruction

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

I cant put the amd sleeves with no backplate tho

#

you have the original backplate attached

#

its am4

#

Wym

#

then it fell

#

when you removed the brackets it fell, those things hold the backplate in place

#

Those?

#

yes, when you removed those the backplate fell

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:44 AM

#

glass meteor Those?

When you remove those, did anything from the back fall?

#

Behind your motheboard

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:44 AM

#

#

it should look like this

#

Ohhhh

#

#

Didnt even realize it fell i heard a noise i was like wth and moved on lmao

#

Screw it on with the same screw from the front but on the back?

#

yes, so you want to put that back on the rear of the motherboard through the holes and mount the aio on following the instructions

#

it’ll be loose until you mount the pump

#

Alr

#

Keeps on falling

#

Hold it while putting the sleeevs?

#

you have to hold it in place until you mount the pump on

#

Alr

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:49 AM

#

Did u put the screw on already?

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

Wym

#

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

Just hold the backplate while you are doing step 2 and 3

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

Should i just screw it with my hand

#

Cant screw it too much since i have oy my hand cant use a tool for this

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:52 AM

#

This is fine

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:53 AM

#

Ale

#

screw in a star pattern

#

Wym

#

so once you get two corners you can let go of the backplate and finish the rest

#

Ye i js let ho

#

Go

#

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

#

Exactly how your manual instructs

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:54 AM

#

#

make this shape

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

More like hourglass tbh

#

Kekw

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:55 AM

#

yeah

#

but

#

its easy to say star pattern cus tire

#

for tires you do the same thing

#

Done with them

#

My hand feels numb thos lil things hurt sooo much 😭

#

use a screwdriver to finish them off

#

How

#

make sure theyre as tight as they go

#

I cant use a screwdriver on them

#

theyre literally marked for a PH1

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

tawny belfry

Did u follow this? @glass meteor

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

#

oh

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

tawny belfry

Still not here

#

thought you installed the pump

#

Ye still

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

Put ur aio pump on it

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

Imma do that now

#

🤞

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 4:57 AM

#

Put the right am4/am5 bracket on, and screw those screw on the holders

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:06 AM

#

Shi

#

Alr what now

#

#

Now where do i connect all this

#

motherboard manual and check the nzxt video i sent you

#

Should i put the psu firsy?

#

yes you can

#

you can either start cable managing whats there

#

i'd recommend starting with cable managing whats there first

#

then add the PSU in, cable manage those

#

and then after that put the GPU in and you should be set

#

The vid is too fast

#

Too hard to understand

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:11 AM

#

Check your aio manual for where the cables goes

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:12 AM

#

What abt the fans from the case

#

The place on the mobo that says

#

Sys fan 1

#

And sys fan 2?

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:13 AM

#

Yeah you can connect them there or if your case has a splitter

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:13 AM

#

Whats that

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:13 AM

#

You can slow watch the video Markus sent you

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:15 AM

#

He doesnt plug anything to the mobo

#

He plugs it into the psu

#

??

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:17 AM

#

The fans on the case can be plug into sys_fan port

#

Or into these if you see anything like these

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:18 AM

#

Alr so sys fan NOT cpu_fan

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:18 AM

#

desert brook Jul 21, 2023, 5:18 AM

#

If you're referring to a fan hub... as the PSU

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:18 AM

#

Wym

#

Im sorry im not smart when it comes to pcs

#

Actually just in general not that smart

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:20 AM

#

tawny belfry The fans on the case can be plug into sys_fan port

It has 3 pins

#

Does it still go in

#

yes

#

wait

#

which one

#

Sys_1 and sys_2

#

Im tryna plug this

#

#

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:22 AM

#

should be 4 pins for fans

#

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:23 AM

#

Nope

#

It has three

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:23 AM

#

That port has 4. I'm zooming in on the picture you sent

#

That's sys_fan1 and sys_fan2

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

Ye so what do i do if it has three

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

what are you looking at?

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

The fans that come with the case

#

They have three pins

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

show me

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:24 AM

#

glass meteor

^

#

that can go into CPU FAN1 or PUMP_AIO

#

And then where do i put the actual pump

#

Besides

#

Pump fan 1 is like a L shape

#

And cpu fan is 4 pins

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:26 AM

#

That 3 pin can fit into the 4 pin

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:27 AM

#

you see theres a notch, thats supposed to help lock it into place

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:27 AM

#

^

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:27 AM

#

make sure it lines up

#

So i can still put it in sys fan

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:28 AM

#

Yes, all fans port on your motherboard are 4 pins, the cable from your fan may be 3 pins but as long as you line the notch on top up to each other, you are good

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:29 AM

#

Where am i gonna put these

#

gotta check the motherboard manual

#

#

I put them like this

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

Looks fine

glass meteor Jul 21, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

glass meteor gotta check the motherboard manual

Cant find it 😭

#

its online

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

glass meteor when you go into the motherboard bios, you have to remember which fans go where ...

Wym

#

you have to remember which fan goes to which header

#

each header is controlled individually

#

So like sys_1 and sys_2

#

It doesnt matter right im just gonna put them alk at max

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:34 AM

@glass meteor did you plug the fans on the AIO in yet?

#

If not yet, read the manual from the link I sent you, starting from here

#

#

Lemme untangle it to see

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:45 AM

#

excellent, now follow the picture on step 3.5. Plug the cables from the fans attached to the AIO to that splitter cable

What splitter cable

#

And on the fromt or back

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:45 AM

^That is the splitter cable

So put the fan on two of those and then plug it in where?

#

And should i plug it in the back

#

So it doesnt look like a mess

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:46 AM

tawny belfry Jul 21, 2023, 5:46 AM

#

But the tail end of that cable should go in cpu_fan

Update how-to:

Get the latest BIOS. It's the topmost one on the MSI support page for your board. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-B550-TOMAHAWK/support
Extract the file and you will get a text file and the BIOS file. Put the BIOS file into the root folder of a USB stick/drive.
Enter the BIOS by pressing DEL during boot, go to "M-FLASH" in the BIOS.
Once M-Flash (the updater) is loaded, it will show a list of your drives. Select the USB stick and select the previously extracted BIOS file on there.
It will ask for confirmation and then update the BIOS. It's fully automatic from there, takes about two minutes.
