Re: Motherboard - installing CPU, cooler, RAM

Add me to the 'before' camp.

I once made the mistake of installing the mobo & CPU first, then trying to get the heat sink seated properly after it was installed in the case. I burned up a AMD 1400 Athlon because the sink was resting on the lip of the socket and not flush.

Expensive lesson learned.
