How to setup a motherboard test bench before building your gaming PC
Setting up a little test bench is a really good idea to test your components BEFORE building your new Gaming PC.
In this video i will show you the assembly process of an Intel LGA1700 socket platform and things to look out for when testing.
Doing this before you put it all in your PC case can save hours of painful troubleshooting and highlight any potentially faulty parts, or incorrectly installed component.
And as you will see in the video, you can do everything right and still not get a display signal first time!
