Do you Have to take the motherboard out to install this?

Yes, It the MB must be removed plus you must remove the springs of 3 of attachment screws and shim them with nuts and where the springs were and screw them in 1st in order to hold the Heat Sink in place while you attempt to screw the 1st screw with a spring on it. If you haven't bought the Thermaltake 21 yet I highly suggest you get Cooler Master Hyper TX3 instead. It costs less, cools better and is installs without removing the Motherboard. Been there done that.

When purchasing this one, I didn't realize it needed extra support, luckily, I have a case that both side panels can be removed. So, for my installation, I didn't have to remove the motherboard, but normally it would have to be removed.

Yes, you do, unless your case has a hole or an aperture right behind the mother board's rear socket plate. You have to remove the rear socket plate to put a new one -included- in which the Thermaltake Cooler is going to be anchored

I think this depends on the other components you have on installed on the motherboard.

Yes you can.All you need is the adaptor.It should fit confortably on the IDE of the motherboard.

Is not necessary, because inside the mother board you can take the HDMI video output to connect to any HD screen, but if you wish can install an additional graphics card.

I recommend reading your motherboards manual to be sure, but its probably separated by one, but needs to be in the right slots for dual channel. If your motherboard already has some installed just copy it. You should still read the manual though.

Hi Sam. As far as hardware goes, the board comes with 3X Serial ATA cables, an I/O shield for the rear panel I/O manifold, an SLI bridge connector and a 2 in 1 Q connector. So an I/O 'bracket' does not come with the motherboard. The motherboard has a front panel I/O connection manifold (ATX configuration) and there is a intermediate connector provided that makes attaching your case front panel switches and LEDs easy to do with the motherboard installed.

Yes, you just have to unscrew the X that is in the center of the fan when you install it. I recommend you to watch a video in youtube about installing it so you can get what I am talking about more easily. Remember that the installation of the X type accessory in which the fan is mounted onto the motherboard has to coincide with the type of processor you have but that info is in the manual so don't worry

Yes, I had to remove the four screws that attach the motherboard to the cabinet and slide it over about a half inch so I get slide the power supply into place, It has several wire harness's, just use the ones you need and dis re guard the remaining ones!

None, since this case does not come with a motherboard. However, the case gives plenty of room for everything on the motherboard that you choose to install.

It depends on the size that the motherboard allows that you install in the unit. This is a case only.

No, It is installed in an open PCI slot on your computers motherboard. Make sure you need a "low" or "high" plate....before ordering any adapter, or that the adapter comes with a low plate if needed. This adapter comes with the low plate so you're covered either way.

You might be able to pull off a top install without modification, but looks like this one is going to be a rear fan installation. Ultimately it still depend on the combination of which motherboard you use with this case.

Yes, I have done so on both of mine. Suggest a USB. If you add one internally the BIOS will "yell at you for having opened the chassis". Not a big deal to turn off but.... In any event, I have an internal on one and a USB on the other. Little or no difference in performance.

I don't think it did. It just plugs into the motherboard for all its power needs. It was very easy to install and setup.

Yes, though you may have to remove the backplate that comes with the motherboard and replace it with the one included in this kit.

No, but taking it apart is fairly simple. It is a bunch of screws, but it's just a matter of unscrewing them and pulling the back off. That provides access to RAM, hard drive, wireless card, msata slot, and most everything else.

No. You have to solder them on to the motherboard. Look up a tutorial on You Tube about how to solder if you are unsure. That's what I did and it worked well.
