The actual 100% correct fans HAVE ARRIVED :D I also took more pics by request but you didnt say what you wanted.
Nice Shot of the motherboard area, cables are mean in such a small case but I've managed to keep the heatsink area clear.
Graphics card out of the case, surprisingly not...
Thanks dude :) I'm really happy with the build overall. Its surprising how accessible the overclocking is considering I looked into it just a few hours ago. Unfortunately I can't get temps I'm happy with running LinX at the moment. I'm hoping the Noctua fans I get will let me boost the speed a...
Well damn :) thanks for the heads up. They'll arrive tomorrow then I can start returning them. Also I imagine PWM would be a better choice anyway so its all good, just harmless delay. Might as well do it properly considering the price.
The Hadron comes with a 500W gold rated PSU which is 50W over what is reccomended on Nvidia's site for a GTX 460. The PSU comes with 2 6+2 connectors already and would be difficult to replace considering its not ordinary shape.
There are many reasonable heatsinks that will outperform the stock...
Ah bugger daveip unfortunately theyre already dispatched. I can't imagine the difference will be significant enough to merit returning the ULNs immediately.
Yep the case's biggest downside is the very small range and wattage available in the PSUs. Hopefully there will be more soon such as...
Splashed out on 3 Noctua NF-S12A ULN http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-019-NC
Those will be here by Saturday and the PC should be shut for more than a couple days :D
The Silverstone fans I stole from a TJ07 are too loud and not worthy of this build. I'm going to replace them but I haven't decided on what yet. Most likely Noctuas to match the heatsink but damn they expensive.
Yep that cooler is amazing, I'll definitely need to look into overclocking guides at some point. Dont want to start a fire where a PC used to be :P
I can imagine the wait is painful but hang in there :) its my favorite PC of my bunch and I'm certainly gonna stick with this case and form factor...
Hey just did a run of LinX on default settings because I don't really know what I'm doing with it, here are the results and the max temperature reached.
And thanks again Cooper, looking forward to seeing your build and how you manage the cabling :)
Hello again! The lil thing is amazing! CPU temp a comfortable under 35C at idle, GPU temp even better around 30 idle :D.
I dont know what else you'd want to see but I'm seriously impressed by mini ITX and especially that tiny Noctua cooler. Thanks again guys for the help in the beginning and I...
Ahh I sorted it with good ol' electrical tape, was the wire of the fan on the case panel. I'm just struggling to make this bootable usb at the moment, the windows usb creator tool is saying the iso i got from the disc is invalid.
Update again :D case came with no fans so I added the 2 I took out of my old case.
Graphics card fitted on mount
Motherboard in and IO attached
All together :D
Next to its little big brother
AND IT LIVES
Current issues:
A wire is hitting the cpu area case fan...
More Pictures :D
Beautiful lil motherboard
And a beautiful lil heatsink
Everything together (cpu is in there :P)
And noticed something on my memory
So its all together in terms of the motherboard! now we need to assemble and hope nothing is dead :) for now its all in the...
Ok good progress so far and I havent lost anything, so far ive fitted the SSD to the back of the graphics card mount as well as the hard drive and power supply to their own mount.
Case looks amazing and it comes with a silverstone sticker badge im going to leave off.
