INSTALL MEMORY AND STORAGE

Thankfully, these builds without GPUs and AIO coolers are generally less of a brain-bashing experience and this next step is one of the easiest. We now need to add the memory and storage. First, the RAM sticks slot in by releasing a clasp on the top and pushing in. It will only go in one way so check the bottom groove aligns properly. Also, if you are using two sticks like us, you must check the mobo’s manual to slot them into the correct DIMM slots. As for the SSD, this slides into the connector at a 30° angle. Then a tiny screw secures it onto the mobo. We mentioned how easy these steps are, but this can be a little fiddly and brain-frying, oh the irony!
