My Asus manual sez to install cpu only after mobo is installed in case.
I usually install cpu with mobo on bench-top.

They prolly figger you'll klutz it and break the cpu fan working the
board into the case or similar.

Any opinions?

I do it the way you do it.
Much easier to install outside of the box.

Same here.
I think you are right, they are selling to a mass market and they can't
be sure that the person assembling the box has good, if any, knowledge
or experience, so they give everyone the "for dummies" instruction sheet.

And another. The force required to put on the HSF nowadays flexes the
board too much for my liking when its in the case.

Agreed. Also easier to fit the memory beforehand.
