Building new PC in a month or 2.

I will, only bit that will be missing is the monitor. It's available on rainforest, fulfilled by them, but sold through a reseller, think I'll hold off until it's the forest themselves (shame OC don't seem to have it).

Found a review on it on youtube, reviewer seemed happy.
 
So it's on a 720p ancient tv right now, but this message is coming to you from the new 2700x build!

Looking quite nice, need to close it up now and go to bed. Tomorrow evening I'll be working on getting the ram to the correct speed in the bios, and generally setting up the system.

Delay on the 140mm means I'm going to have to open it up properly again in a couple of weeks, but I'm just happy it basically worked on my first try (first try the tv had defaulted back to original source, so I didn't see any input, managed not to get too panicked though).

There's a weird springy metallic sound coming from the speedlink mechanical keyboard, not to terrible though and no doubt something I could get used to. Some squeaking from some some keys and the backspace has a completely different sound to the rest.

Still, it's glowing, as is the mouse (which is quite large I reckon, I like it so far).
 
Glad to hear up and running :)

I always leave everything on default till everything's installed and running well :)

Work on CPU overclock first if your going to overclock it, and then the ram :)
 
It's just on the stock cooler for now, and I don't have the 140mm in yet, so really not going to try pushing it. Would like to try and get the ram upto speed though.
 
Went for the vulcan 3000mhz, since the 3200 dark was out of stock. Saved some, lack of patience, but given the red hot friday deal, it was a big saving to take it now.
 
Those are all pretty words and ideas, and the ryzen calculator looks very pretty too... but right now it's all vaguely familiar words, rather than useful instructions :D. I'll do some more reading, ready for later today when I'll actually sit down and have a go :D.
 
haha, you'll be fine.

enter bios. MIT section. Select Advanced Memory setting and then enable XMP . save and exit :D

I'm not panicking too much about this bit, I know the board has dual bios, so I think I've fairly immune to destroying it all now.

I spent most my time last night doing bits and pieces on the case, finally got my nerve together and took the motherboard, CPU and Ram out :D.

Going to have a bit more confidence when I open it up to redo the fans, try and get the cables a bit neater.

Old TV, waiting on the monitors to get released by Amazon still. Had to go into the corner of the conservatory, since that was the only place the power cables would all reach and there was a convenient enough table. That's with the window off. The mouse and keyboard are glowing too, bit tough to see on the mouse.
 
Yep, white isn't bad at all. The bright ryzen fan suits it, and the red from the motherboard fits nicely enough too with the red mouse and keyboard. More luck than judgement, since the colours really aren't what I was concerned about.
 
Done the ram, easy enough to set the xmp profile :D Haven't stress tested though, what would be the best way to do that?

I've also worked out why I likely wasn't getting any cpu fan speeds in the bios (that was a worry), but on a closer look, I'd plugged the cpu fan into cpu_opt rather than cpu_fan, so whilst it was spinning properly, it wasn't recording the speeds correctly.
 
Ditto for that question :D. I didn't even check. 1 task at a time for me, and that was the ram that time.

Can I just ask what is the issue with fast boot? Cheers.

doesn't allow ram timing sometimes, and also a pain to getting into bios when you really need to haha !

cinebench, will crash when it runs- doesnt take to long.

asus realbench. run 15 mins 4gb then 15 mins 8GB- doesn't crash then your fine
