@tamzzy @Plec

PC is up and running, although I can't find how to set the XMP for the memory?

Just waiting on the Fans to turn up, then I'm updating the BIOS, after that installing Windows!

Cheers Tamzzy, fans just turned up going to fit these and do some cable management then I'll bang up some pics once Windows, etc is done.

So far, not had time to do much else yet but should find out later when Windows is running if all is well?

@Plec @tamzzy

Fitted the fans, dead silent compared to the stock fans. I'm sat on BIOS screen and currently the CPU temp is idling around 36/35'C? Quite warm in this room too. All sound about right to you?

I wouldn't pay too much attention to idle temps, unless they're grossly abnormal. 35ish isn't abnormal. What's more important perhaps, is load temps

Plec · 12 May 2019 at 16:55

About right - the BIOS works the CPU.

Once you have windows installed you should see idle temps drop.

* @tamzzy, got the drop on me

/back to wading through applications....

@tamzzy

Quick question? How do I stop Windows downloading and installing drivers? Got them ready, need a new version of Windows too.

Plec · 12 May 2019 at 18:01

disable internet on install - and only allow critical updates.

/gone

Mr G · 12 May 2019 at 18:08

Unplugged whilst installing and I've just paused updates whilst I download new Windows.

Plec · 12 May 2019 at 18:14

(only have one drive attached when installing too)
/really, really gone

Mr G · 13 May 2019 at 11:23

Cheers guys, all up and running smoothly and as promised here are some pics of the build.

Have to say very impressed with the Night Hawk memory, pics of the RGB don't do it justice at all!

Not played any games as yet, but not had any hitches!

Looks good! ~~Too much~~ RGB bling bling

That 60% keyboard drives my OCD nuts lol

OCD? Explain...

tamzzy · 13 May 2019 at 12:36

Nah I just can't stand mini-keyboards that's all lol.

Plec · 13 May 2019 at 12:38

Glad to read all went smoothly.

I do like the look of the Phanteks - and the mATX is still a tidy size for desk placement and the ITX sits nicely in there - looks good.

I think @tamzzy is like me and uses full size keyboards with the number pad (very useful if needed) - the look must be imprinted on his brain now.

The cure:

orbitalwalsh · 13 May 2019 at 12:51

looking smart ! remove the front of the evolv case and see your temps dropped ! I modded mine to get the front plate to sit 6mm further out

Mr G · 13 May 2019 at 12:54

I see, I'm kind of used to both now. My other system has the Logitech G513 Carbon, fond of the Romer-G switch. The Razer has Yellow switches which I'm liking.
