Hi everyone!
Sorry in advance, if my vocabulary isn't up to par. Very new in building computers, this is the second one I've done and the first one I've had my hand held throughout the process. I'm building an i7 8700k w/ 2080ti with 2 1 tb SSD's and a Blackmagic Decklink I/O card in an extra PCIE slot, all on a GIGABYTE Z390 Motherboard I'm in dire need of some assistance!
I've installed the CPU cooler and two extra fans, but with my Fractal Design R5 case I'm really confused on how the cabling works for the fan control. I don't want anything fancy at all. I'm just trying to connect the fans there to the automatic fan device thats on my case. Can anyone walk me through what I need to do? I've looked at guide after guide, and so far what I seem to be doing is just conneting the females and males of each fan to the big provided to the case.
Second question: I'm salvaging my old 1 tb ssd from my previous build and putting it in this one. Great, easy; just plopped the NVME 1 tb into the compartment and screwed it in (i hope?) but I have a second SSD that I also connected on the R5's back mount for SSD's. Now here's where I'm confused, I connected the PSU component, but I feel like I'm missing the other "piece" necessary to connect it to the motherboard's SATA port?
I can provide pictures if necessary! Someone please save this new guy, I'm terrified of turning the computer on and breaking all the $2000+ components.
Thank you all so so so much in advance.
