using a phone and imgur won't work because if you use a phone everyone is obsessed with forcing you to download the app because for an obviously reason they earn money. also can't exit or use tabs so I had to turn it off and turn the entire browser back on.


Maybe I can just install ? ignoring these preinstalled entangled cables everywhere.
It will be thick as there are lot of cables becoming a blockage.

Makes me wonder why they installed it like this. Never had a case like this nor saw anyone dealing with this on youtube.
 
You can take off the side panel for the case behind the motherboard tray and then manage said cables behind the motherboard tray. (I could be wrong though)All fans look to be powered by molex which isn't exactly a good thing since they will be running at full blast. What is the make and model of your case?
 
anyway to delete this post ?
All I had to do was remove the top mesh and the fan screws were found to remove.
I did check at least and this was my first pc to have top mesh. Anyways problem solved.
was really frustrating.

Rgb fan is an obstacle. which was preinstalled or just made to be unable to uninstall.
There are even some square shaped whatever connectors which is also blocking.
obstacle, block I said, but doesn't mean it is shield blocking. I can install but it's such tiny spot to screw.

First I need to place the screw which I did with needle-nose pliers.
The screw is still tilted towards the side,
lying down, because it's not screwed.
I try to put screwdriver in the screw without being able to use my hand cause it's a tiny spot. I use the driver and slowly pick the screw up with force then try to rotate the screw but I've been failing many times. The screw seems to be made of plastic or less metal. The driver should pick up 100% metal screw but these won't stick.

I don't see any screws to uninstall the pc case fans.

Turns out when pc building, the youtubers make it seem easy by defying the material science and physics itself and just screw or install stuff like it will work but beginners suffer the most with screws.

wish it was so easy as they show it to be.

what I've learned is that you need to know everysingle parts and cable names in order to build pc.

pc build is very difficult. and it seems to be part of a cult to pretend it's the easiest thing on planet earth.

So now I have removed the fan, I installed the screw successfully. Just when I thought I was done with frustration, weird problem happened again.

I finished screwing the most left side 3 screws but the other parts won't screw in because it keeps rotating infinitely without being installed.

I have installed the 3 screws so I know how to install confirmed. I don't know why it can't be done now when it's exactly the same process.
Has to be the stand off not being aligned but it doesn't look like it either. Also tried other screws just in case it is defective.

It's been hours screwing and searching.
I totally thought I could finish within hours.
Now it feels it could take more than a week at this pace.

Make sure ALL standoffs are in their proper location and tight before installing motherboard.

Turns out there were 2 types of different screws that looked identical.
But if you look at it very closely, there was a very tiny difference.
So there were screws made only for the motherboard. And others for the other most.

Also I have to make sure the screws are not tilted towards right or left, try to hold it with left hand, rotate with right hand, index finger and thumb, then when it's nicely fit like a golf ball use the right hand, pick up the screwdriver and screw slowly without breaking the balance. This is the only way to smoothly make the screw go in.
If you fail and screw gets tilted, it gets really hard and stiff to turn and screw even if you barely screwed at all.
Screwing is so hard. I thought screwing was brainless work. It actually had a technique skill to make it work.
Even after finishing building my pc for the first time, I still get it wrong and just left some screws less tight for the ssd which doesn't matter that much unlike motherboard or gpu etc.
