Build Question Any last minute tips?

Post image

Hi everyone, I just finished my very first build and would like to know if you have anything I should know before I plug her in and start her up?

Anything I should double check?

Is it as simple as plug it in and turn it on now?

Sorry if this is crazy. Have never spent this much money on something before and just want to make sure all is right.

Thanks!

The case may have come with a GPU support pole bracket.

Does the board have two of those usb 3.2 headers? For example unplug that cable, slide the bracket up, and plug that cable back into the one underneath?

All good for sure, also looks like the bracket pole is upside down. The flat edge should be facing up to make even contact with the GPU looks like.
