Good luck mate!
Don't forget, start with the minimum....and no OC'ing till long after it's working 100%.....and make sure that CPU cooler is on PROPERLY!

So I'am waiting on the graphics card,but in the mean time I think I will start the build this weekend and get it up
And runing then install the card when it comes,this way I can at least get things loaded again and get on team speak.
That's if it starts of course!

Wish you had gotten the socket 2011 instead of the 1155....but the 1155 is cheaper and more popular.
Well if there's a problem when you mount the chip and cooler, it will already be too late after you hit the power button. If it won't POST and won't even give you an error code, or a code that isn't even in the book, you'll know what the problem is. If you hear a faint, high-pitched whine, you'll really know it.

My thinking was since this is my first build I would go for the tried and tested,plus like you said if it all goes pear shaped it's easier to swollow.If the whine starts it will only be me mopping up my tears........

She's up and runing boy's
Started first time,what a relief that was.Just down loading every thing now.I've got the old card in until the new one arrives so it won't be long until i'am flying again.Tried getting on TS but it looks like it's down for now.

Great news, Reddog!! I'm happy for you! Have you been in the BIOS yet? Not to OC, but just to make sure the temps, especially the CPU, look good in the board monitoring section. How did that H100 water block go on?  Hope all continues on course!! Salute! |

Awesome speed, RD !!  It really downrated your graphics! On mine it's the conventional HDD that ruins my score. Throw that out, and I'd have a 7.7; instead, I get the 5.9  Using RAID striping never really helped it, either. |
