I just bought my new case (The Corsair C70 White) and plan on moving my current pc from it's default, slightly modded, home. I understand that the most difficult will likely come from the movmement of my mobo from one case to another, anyone have any tips?
Note: I was originally fixated on the 650d from Corsair, but the recent sale of the C70 on newegg swayed me towards a slightly lesser case for about 1/2 the price.
Congrats! Also Not breaking it, is probably a good tip.
Make sure you tighten the standoffs and put them on the right holes for your motherboard size. When you unscrew your motherboard screws, work diagonally so you don't put too much stress on the board itself. Make sure you put in any case fans and the IO shield before you put the motherboard back in. Unplug everything before you remove it.
Excellent tips, i was already thinking of everything listed here but the case fans, thanks!
No problem :) BTW, some good case fans are the Corsiar AF 140mm fans for the case and Corsair SP for any heatsinks or radiators.
