OP OP D Deleted member 2463 Sep 16, 2020 #33 Took about 3 hours but I stopped and started a lot. Key thing is on the new GI strings is to put the screws into the holders they stick in and it makes easier to screw in without losing the screw. Also the pop bumpers are tied together using the legacy GI and they propose a wire nut which was fiddly so I used two of these instead You only need a four way version but I had a couple of 5 ways kicking about. Also when installing the new board I’d put it slightly closer to the CPU board as the cables from the topper are tight otherwise. Neil Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
