Built my new system it is Awesome with pics

Hi all, I went with the advice on this forum and I ordered the parts below from OCUK. All was fine with the delivery and service was great and it turned up friday minus the sound card which 5UB explained what happened so im happy to wait on that.

My email to say the order was sent turned up late at night which concerned me and also my account never updated but all sorted after. I am well impressed with the system though based on the parts. It is lightning quick and games just look awesome on it.

The cooler was a bit of a Pain though, especially the stupid back screw. I tried 7 different screwdrivers to fit down the hole but none fitted :mad:

, finally had to use the little spanner thing to slowly tighten it, but got it fitted and it works fine and cool. I will get pics up when I get 5 mins as the cooler only just fitted in my P182.

Also watch the board and GPU combo as the card do sit slightly on the white SATA ports at the end of the board, but it dont cause any fitting issues or vibration.

Just kidding you could always do a draw on PC Games. I had to email them to get my vouchers which they sent by snail mail.

I might actually do that if I get the sleeping dogs code through again just to make it fair on the forums like

What do you think of the IceQ cooler? Any good?

acharris · 30 Oct 2012 at 11:59

Yes the IceQ cooler is very good. It is quiet and full speed the noise aint annoying or loud (tried setting it to 100% in the ATI software) and temps seem to go only to around 60 ish in games and the fan never seems to hit full speed.

Sorry mods about posting the pics in the thread in the general hardware forum, I didnt think last night I should have moved it to here.

Nice build, how loud is the GPU?
I bought true spirit 140 when it was 30 pounds. Than couple days after my buy the macho went down to 30 pounds. hehe...
