I agree with cleeecooo

also the fan is on the wrong side

cleeecooo please cast some of your knowledge into my thread

Cleeecooo · 28 Dec 2011 at 16:01

Fans fine

Also, done

Maybe the fan is pulling?

Also done

Tibbz2 · 28 Dec 2011 at 16:40

Tbh I don't really care about it anymore...

That cooler is impossible to mount without a lot of swearing so there is no way on earth im removing it!

Plus my CPU temps are fine - 25-28C

Cleeecooo · 28 Dec 2011 at 16:41

You are going to sort the cables out right?

Hyburnate · 28 Dec 2011 at 16:45

Its only his first build. Give him a break

Tibbz2 · 28 Dec 2011 at 16:49

Here is the build anyway, prepare for fail!!!

Mounted this after about 30 mins of hell and a severed mobo

And that's it

After many hours of cooler catastrophe and cable management.... well.... lack of cable management the PC OF FAIL lived up to it's name.

What a load of ********, and a massive waste of your time. So sorry if you were expecting anything more than a bag of crap.

Cheer-y-oh! Time to fix the broken power button, invisible HDD and CPU fan error.

No.

Not until I get the rest of it fixed....

And probably not after that either. Unless my case starts to melt. Then I may...

Lol

Seriously, it'll give it a much neater look. After my first build I had something that looked like that and after a few months I re did all the cables

Yeah I will at some point.

First I need to sort out the power button, HDD and fan error

Any clues?

Cleeecooo · 28 Dec 2011 at 16:55

What's wrong with HDD?

Fan error, just turn te fan monitoring off in the BIOS or plug a fan into the fan header on the mobo next to the CPU.

What's wrong with the power button?

I've set the fan to ignore but that didn't work

The HDD is detected in BIOS and in Device Manager, however it won't show up in My Computer so I can't save anything to it

Power button just refuses to work... Reset and HDD buttons are fine.

Re wire the power button on ur mobo.

Try formatting the HDD

I tried to do this, too many cables!

I'll have a proper look tomorrow..

And I shall reformat the HDD which I have no idea how to do. Google to the rescue!

PS Like my new sig? Thanks Google cache!

Cleeecooo · 28 Dec 2011 at 17:06

All the details are in ur mobo manual

Nice

Going back home in a few hours so I can sort out the issues and hopefully cable manage a little better if I can. (Also download Steam and BF3 if I have time!)

The only trouble is all my cables are routed in between each other and when I move one about 5 others fall out!

KiiYzOo · 29 Dec 2011 at 08:15

Disconnect them all first then and then manage them
