This is the fourth and final part in the build your own PC series by ASUS where the step-by-step videos take you through every aspect of creating your very own special technology baby. Using the ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe motherboard, the team have shown you how to install it, how to connect the various components to it, and how to get everything neatly slotted into place.
This episode briefly recaps the ground covered by the series so far and then shows you how to set up your BIOS and install Windows. You’ll see how much easier the ASUS BIOS is to navigate and use, certainly compared to Ye Olde BIOS that I used to deal with, making it much less confusing to sort out, and a lot more fun.
There are few things as satisfying as making a PC live and breathe and obey the way you want it to. So if you’re not sure about BIOS, this video guide will show you what you need to know.
The ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe motherboard also comes with AI Suite II which is your one-stop access to fine tuning your PC without any hassle. You’ll be shown how this works and how to set it up in the video as well.
So, once you’ve finished watching the video you should be able to build your own custom PC from scratch and have a general idea about overclocking and handling a complete PC shutdown. Congratulations! Did it work first time? Do you have any hot tips that you think we missed? Tell us here.
