Just got the i7 bundle with the asus evo motherboard and zalman cooler, quick question, the cpu fan cable coming from the cooler has 3 holes but the cpu fan on the board has 4 prongs, does it matter which 3 of 4 i use
 
right ok, ill leave it to the left side, so why is there 4 prongs mate? there is another thing with this fan called fan mate 2, but i dont want to use that, wont have to will i?
 
well i will use that thing but i wouldnt know where to put the other cables, another thing the zalman cooler is so large, ive put it facing the back of the case towards the fan of the antec 1200 case. but the cooler covers the first pci express slot to an extent its no usable? theres 3 pci express slots. does it matter which one i use

What Zalman cooler are you using ?

Sorry mate could be more specific on other cables, it's been a long day :eek::p
 
Sorry mate its this bundle.

1 X Intel Core i7 860 2.80Ghz @ 3.80GHz - Retail
1 X Asus P7P55D Evo Intel P55 Motherboard
1 X Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
1 X Zalman CNPS10X-Quiet CPU Cooler

The cooler comes with something called fan mate 2, ill have a mess with that tomorrow.
 
Cheers for that, I wish Overclockers would update there photos :mad:

You may need to turn the cooler 180 deg, so the fan blows out towards the top fans as the second PCI-E slot only runs @ 8x, looks like it shares the bandwidth from pci-e 1 slot.

In saying that are you sure slot 1 is unusable (no disrespect :)), as it would seem strange to supply a cooler that limits the use of the board.
 
hope ur here still mate, just done the build all looks well. No beeps on boot, only problem is theres no signal getting to my monitor. I have the nvidia 295 in pci slot 1. What can i try now to get that signal mate.

do i have to use the sata cable that came with the board? They are different that the ones im using, but both fit. I dont know what else to try, can someone ring me if i put number up
 
Can't work out what I'm doing the red memory light is staying on , it won't autotune or boot , all fans are on there is no beep any ideas please
 
Hi mate sorry your having problems, Sounds like a failed overclock.

But double check a few things regards the power supply - you have installed the 8 pin for cpu power and the main 24 pin ATX motherboard connector, the 8 pin cpu power connector often gets missed :)
 
I am going to go with a failed overclock, you can reset the CMOS but this will wipe all settings which Ocuk have put on, but hopefully they have saved this as a profile in the BIOS.
 
Ok mate, how do i go about doing that, sorry ive never done it, please make it as easy as possible. and couldnt i just put the overclock back on, surely we know near enough what
would need changing and what to. sorry for the slow reply, been waiting for this 10 year old laptop to boot up. Please can you explain in real simple terms, as im never done that.
 
Edit:

Just had a read of the manual the red led shows a problem with the memory, before going down resetting the CMOS try with only one memory stick in, if that has failed then try the other stick.
