Internal connections motherboard z170-K and desktop PC assembly

[Sylver]

The SATA ports are in the motherboard manual, which, surprisingly, has a section in SPANISH and they explain it 45 times better than wikipedia and "only" 5 times better than us

And in case you don't find that section, on the ASUS website they have a BEAUTIFUL diagram about various connectors of the aforementioned motherboard: https://www.asus.com/es/Motherboards/Z170-K/

Best regards!

Basic assembly working.

The doubt of the six SATA 3 ports or four SATA 3 ports and one SATAEXPRESS persists. I think using the sata express invalidates the two sata 3 in the same socket or group.

The speaker cannot be found in the market. It would have to be taken from an old or broken computer.

I proceed to install the operating system which will be windows 8.1, 64 bit, in Spanish.

Strong build with the row of lights that flashes amber yellow at the back of the plate. But I think it's simply because it's a gamer plate. Also one of the fans comes with blue led light...

The case speaker is something that has almost become history, it was used for quick diagnosis when the board wouldn't start or show a signal. The problem is that since you don't seem to be interested in reading the board manual, which although it looks like it's not a paperweight, you wouldn't know how to interpret the beeps either, so I honestly wouldn't worry about the "speaker".
Saludos and good luck with the build.

The manual was read. And the computer is already built and working.
As for the board's sound codes, it's on good internet pages.

As for the speaker, here in the square it's very difficult to get it. But you'll just have to use the visual codes. As you probably haven't read the manual for my board, you'll know that they're not there. But you can find them on the internet.

Keep well and thanks for your valuable help.

It's good reading from WC lol but no, I don't think I've read yours in particular, the last ones I looked at I think came with, it will depend on the brand. If you're really interested you have them on aliexpress for a few cents, free shipping.

Of all of them since you've started looking on the internet, you're sure to also find them in some store that ships from your country.

I'm glad you were able to put it all together

Well, finishing installing the software... which is endless!!!!!!!

And I want to connect three monitors directly to the board, but there are problems...

I'll tell you later.

In the BIOS I don't remember seeing anything.
Sometimes all three turn on, then they blink and two remain.

I connected: first a VGA
Then I connected a DVI
So far so good

Then I connected an HDMI and pluf
the HDMI worked fine, the VGA continued, but the DVI only turns on sometimes.

In the end it's like it's running out of fuel and I've disconnected it so that the hardware doesn't suffer.

Investigate well and see the solution.
I have two Nvidia graphics cards parked: one with 512 MB three outputs, and another with 1 GB three outputs.

The board has capacity for three outputs with 1 GB memory. Which apparently gets from the 32 GB of RAM I installed.

I'll leave you the manual in case you want to take a look.

I was intrigued by this topic and even had a chat with a lady from Asus who I thought I understood what I put above.

Thanks for responding

I guess that's something to do with the Intel graphics adapter drivers, try installing, updating, or deleting them (so that Windows detects them automatically). But the motherboard won't be affected by connecting multiple monitors. It's a silly thing, but don't forget to check separately that the cables are okay.

Thanks Bm4n
I have parked the theme configuring the rest of the pc.
Now I was with the network and I got confused.

But we will return to this topic.
Even for four monitors...
