Mentor Log #9 April 15, 2013

Individual Time: 1.5 Hours

Running Total: 27 hours

Ram came in today, so I decided to try to install it. Actually putting it in the computer was really easy since the slots are open, but I did have a problem I ran into. The CPU cooler I have is extraordinarily large on the main board of my computer and covered one of the slots with the fan. I had to remove the fan from the cooler and then add in the extra stick of RAM and then put the fan back on. It was quite a hassle, but it was the first time adding something major to the computer without the mentor being around. I was really nervous about it, but it ended up ok. Once I booted the computer, I made sure to set the proper speeds of the ram in order for it to be using its full potential. Everything ended up well and I ended up with full on 24gb of RAM in my computer. Feeling super accomplished that I was able to do all that on my own.
