Fan should be here in the morning, from some reason dhl transfers to usps. To bad I have jury duty tomorrow. I do have a few questions about setup. Do I need to update firmware for the hard drives before installing windows? Yeah no problem on the pix, sorry there crappy cell pix. I looked for a picture intensive build and didn't find one ai hopefully this helps others.

if there's a firmware update might aswell,
but remember to set your sata type to AHCI in the BIOS
before installing windows on your SSD..
oh yeah and,
unplug the mechanical hard drive sata cable from your motherboard before installing windows.
i dunno, i always do that...
just taking extra precaution so windows does not install stuff on my none O/S drives....

My question was more how do you do a firmware update with no os?
