My Christmas present came early and my Mother just said I could install them if I wanted to 3 x Akasa 140mm, 3 x SGT 1850 120mm. :D

So anyway, they were a ***** to fit on without taking my machine apart, just couldn't get the Apaches in at the top of the case, so I took my computer apart, fitted them and built it back up... BANG. CPU_LED. Awwww maaaannn !

Take my cooler off, thinking I've knocked it or something (which is also a ***** to fit imo!) and inspect the CPU. Nothing, fine... Inspect the socket, fine.. What the hell?!

By this point I'm raging, and I'm freaking out thinking I've screwed something up. Re-seat the heatsink, still nothing. Take it off again, a good hour or so later looking for loose connections or something I notice I hadn't plugged my 12v into the MB cause I was raging and freaking out haha...

Anyone else ever just missed something so stupid then realised? :rolleyes:

p.s. Awesome fans. Oh so quiet when they're turned down, but give some awesome cooling on full whack. Not too loud either :D
