**Upgrading Your Motherboard: A Step-by-Step Guide**

The process of upgrading your motherboard can seem daunting, but with the right tools and a bit of patience, it can be done easily. In this article, we will walk you through the steps involved in upgrading your motherboard to a new shell with proper connectors.

I decided to do a video on how to do this because I've already got one up if you go back which I'll probably link to this video so you can see a full build it's gonna be pretty much the exact same thing. This way, I'll just do one show you what it looks like in the computer and away we go.

Another thing I recommend guys to get rid of the wire here when you're putting it in your computer put your RAM in the shell the way you want the wire to be so for example on my board the longer part of the connector is the top so I want the wire to be at the top. I remember this in the last video what a pain-in-the-butt pull off these plastics and have that happen in this case if I remember correctly it was too long anyway that was somewhat stupid of me, take off this little bit and now because it's a longer side here this is going to flip over like this and go in to the RAM socket again this is very very very simple we're just going to I always recommend taking off the heavier part of the plastic first it doesn't stretch so easy when you're doing the second part when you're finally get it in there we go.

**Removing Old Plastic Cover**

Now, we need to remove the old plastic cover from the motherboard. This is actually the hardest part of this whole entire bill finding that stupid little plastic come on I got it go slow because if not it will tear it will pull it will not be your friend take a look make sure it looks good right now that looks pretty darn good voila put them in nice and tight but don't over-tighten to break anything.

The old plastic cover was actually the most difficult part of the build, requiring patience and care. It's essential to remove it slowly and carefully to avoid damaging any of the components underneath. Once removed, you'll be able to see the new shell that I've installed in this video.

**Installing New Shell**

Here is a new shell on here again it has the new connectors that you require on pretty much all of the new motherboards and controller systems that you buy aftermarket the old way that I had on it you can get controllers for those pain-in-the-butt because then your fans don't work with them and so on it just becomes a headache these are $20 under $20 bucks on Amazon Canadian for the kit for a pair and I think the m2 was actually around 14-15 dollars Canadian as well.

The new shell is installed, and you'll notice that it has proper connectors, which are required for most modern motherboards and controller systems. These connectors make it easier to control your fans and other components, making your system more efficient and cooling.

**Controlling Fans with New Shell**

Let's put this in the computer and show you what it actually looks like controlled by my motherboards so I'm actually color coded and not just running multi-color I made them green just to show you those different than the motherboard right now as I can control each input independently so I'm gonna change them to what I like things to be and that is red for this case there we go guys take a look at that how awesome it is.

With the new shell installed, you'll notice that you have full control over your fans. You can adjust their speed and color independently, making it easier to customize your system to your liking.

**Final Touches**

Look at that matching my color scheme that they went with the Thor as a still love this case there's the new RAM modules all lit up and beautiful red and there is the m-dot tube look at that staying cool and looking cool go all my wires all neatly stashed away I actually took the two wires here I went right down the middle of the two sticks around knowing I'm not adding I already have 32 gigs and went off the side I thought that made a cleaner appearance than having it going on the top there so no guys let me know what you think of this type of video as you can see in the link below you'll be able to see me build the old ones and how they looked which was like a multicolor and I couldn't control them which was cool for the time but I really wanted to be able to control and make it all red so there we go I'm still having a weird issue of my software my gigabyte card if anybody knows about that it's all gigabyte hardware my gigabyte RGB for some reason isn't detecting the lighting on my video card anymore so it's stuck on blue at this point comment below if you know anything about it.

The final touches are complete, and your system is now looking sleek and modern. I recommend checking out the link below to see me build the old ones and how they looked. Unfortunately, I'm still having an issue with my software, where the gigabyte RGB lights aren't detecting on my video card anymore. If you know anything about this, please let me know in the comments below.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys a while ago I did some review and build on some memory RGB controllers for your RAM well that was from easy DIY from Amazon today I'm gonna do the MDOT - which is a cooler heatsink shall we say with RGB lighting which is going to be pretty cool and now motherboard controlled not just random now why I say random is because when I did the EZ d.i.y Ram kit before it was only able to do multicolor and its own built-in programming to the best of my knowledge it did not hook up to my current controller system now I have the new one that I can control completely ok guys let's have some fun let's get these built and let me show you what they look like when it's all said and done ok guys so here are the old ones with my axiom sticker or whatever on the outside here I don't like to take that off again and move them again which would be kind of neat but well first what we'll do we're gonna put these aside and we'll do my MDOT - so this is my 512 m dot - I'm about to get another one actually which goes underneath the video card but that already has its own heatsink and it's not lit but it's kind of hidden so this one's out in the open you see the little red dot come on because it's it's lit showing you that it's active let's make this cooler and much cooler it actually comes with a dongle to - I guess extend it or change it to different connector whether it's gonna be female or male so here we have the heatsink that the RGB lighting which is gonna pretty cool in my computer case as you can see now it has a standard hookup to pretty much all motherboard controlled our GBS and most new controllers use this connector here versus the old connector which I was playing with which is why I couldn't control it proper was this as you can see that's just not proper okay so for this apparently it's pretty easy we're just going to put this in between this and this and then we will have our compound to transfer the heat and then these are your clips to lock it on make sure it's fully covered mess much smoother than the last time I tried to do this type of thing with the RAM just goes on like so yes never justified for that there you have it that's how easy DIY it is these little plastic clips clip that onto your MDOT - now you have a lighted and more cooled and much cooler because they RGB of course em - so guys now that I have the old shell off from the previous version I'm gonna open this up now and take a look at what we've got of course we have two identical-looking - the old ones and every way just that these are going to be able to be controlled as they have the proper connectors so I'll just show putting one together in this video because I've already got a video if you go back which I'll probably link to this video so you can see a full build it's gonna be pretty much the exact same thing so this way I'll just do one show you what it looks like in the computer and away we go another thing I recommend guys to get rid of the wire here when you're putting it in your computer put your RAM in the shell the way you want the wire to be so for example on my board the longer part of the connector is the top so I want the wire to the top I remember this in the last video what a pain-in-the-butt pull off these plastics and have that happen in this case if I remember correctly it was too long anyway that was somewhat stupid of me take off this little bit and now because it's a longer side here this is going to flip over like this and go in to the RAM socket again this is very very very simple we're just going to I always recommend taking off the heavier part of the plastic first it doesn't stretch so easy when you're doing the second part when you're finally get it in there we go and now we go off that inner plastic which is the hardest part it's actually the hardest part of this whole entire bill finding that stupid little plastic come on I got it go slow because if not it will tear it will pull it will not be your friend take a look make sure it looks good right now that looks pretty darn good voila put them in nice and tight but don't over-tighten to break anything it's just so that you get that compound that silicone pad to compress decent between your heat shields and your plate and your RAM I mean the whole point of this not only is it to make it look much cooler it is to get it to actually be running cooler so there you go guys so here is a new shell on here again it has the new connectors that you require on pretty much all of the new motherboards and controller systems that you buy aftermarket the old way that I had on it you can get controllers for those pain in the butt because then your fans don't work with them and so on it just becomes a headache these are 20 under 20 bucks on Amazon Canadian for the kit for a pair and I think the m2 was actually around 14 15 dollars Canadian as well so anyway guys let's put this in the computer and show you what it actually looks like controlled by my motherboards so I'm actually color coded and not just running multi color I made them green just to show you those different than the motherboard right now as I can control each input independently so I'm gonna change them to what I like things to be and that is red for this case there we go guys take a look at that how awesome it is look at how beautiful whoa look how beautiful this is guys look at that matching my color scheme that they went with the Thor as a still love this case there's the new RAM modules all lit up and beautiful red and there is the m-dot tube look at that staying cool and looking cool go all my wires all neatly stashed away I actually took the two wires here I went right down the middle of the two sticks around knowing I'm not adding I already have 32 gigs and went off the side I thought that made a cleaner appearance than having it going on the top there so no guys let me know what you think of this type of video as you can see in the link below you'll be able to see me build the old ones and how they looked which was like a multicolor and I couldn't control them which was cool for the time but I really wanted to be able to control and make it all red so there we go I'm still having a weird issue of my software my gigabyte card if anybody knows about that it's all gigabyte hardware my gigabyte RGB for some reason isn't detecting the lighting on my video card anymore so it's stuck on blue at this point so comment below if you know anything about it thanks guys for watching and until next time game overwhat's up guys a while ago I did some review and build on some memory RGB controllers for your RAM well that was from easy DIY from Amazon today I'm gonna do the MDOT -
