First Build! :D

[luke123]

Looking great!

And sorry cant help with the fans, im not an expert at this XP

lol

So where are the fan experts then


cheers Luke

 

[luke123]

Definitely intake at the bottom!

So the bottom fan is sorted, what about the side fans both intake or one intake and one exhaust


Cheers Luke

 

[luke123]

Before you do install the bottom fan as intake,Where will the tower be kept on carpet or your desk?

It will be a pc desk in the pc compartment part.


I could install dust filters

 

[luke123]

Iv'e never used dust filters and my case is just as clean today as it was the day i built it,But if you want to go for it there cheap enough anyway.

Ok i will leave it then, and just clean the case regular, because iv'e seen on some reviews on ama.......zon and they restrict air flow??


cheers Luke

 

[luke123]

luke do you gave a CPU cooler,I can't be bothered to look through 12 pages again,If not i have a akasa venom for you FREE

I bought a arctic cooling freezer 7 pro v2.

So it's up to you tokin if you would still like me to have it or you can stick it on the bay???

 

[luke123]

This build is really going to cost just about nothing if it continues like this

I know, and i just want it finished lol


P.s 200 POST

 

[luke123]

If you already have one it's pointless in me giving you one I'll just save it as a spare,O and i almost forgot a freind of mine gave me 2 computer parts today free,I'll upload a picture tomorow im sure you will like it

Can't wait, upload it now

 

[luke123]

I know i said i didn't want usb 3.0 but will it be good for a gaming mouse and keyboard??

 

[luke123]

At the moment i shouldnt think so...

Is this a future upgrade though??

usb 3.0

 

[luke123]

Don't worry about 3.0 dude im not,And back to the picture it will be uploaded tomorrow sometimes not sure when yet busy day tomorow.

Ok no problem

 

[luke123]

Where is this picture tokin ;]

 

[luke123]

Sorry mate having some problems with my camera,So i may aswell tell you now and upload a picture when i can figure out a fix,It's a Q6600 + MSI MS-7360 not sure how good the board is,but cant complain for free

Whats it going in??

No can't complain

 

[luke123]

So here we go ram update

Corsair xms2 extreme performance 4gb i got them for £30 with shipping

Granted they are used but not to old they are about 2 months old if that he said on the listing

pc2-6400 and cas latency 5

Latency Timings: CL5 ( 5-5-5-18 )

 

[luke123]

So whats left just cpu now?And im not sure yet may build a HTPC

Cpu and Hard drive, Gfx Card

 

[luke123]

What are you looking for for your CPU and GFX?

quad core idealy, but what ever i can run flight sim x, euro truck, bf3, sims

and gfx card that will support dx11

 

[luke123]

It will be worth holding out for a quad, especially for FSX and BF3, make sure you get a joystick FSX doesn't play too good with the keyboard

Bought many more fans yet luke? lol. I can't judge I have 5 in mine, 7 if you include gpu & psu.

Ok will do

No not yet roughly if i get fans on the psu,gfx and i will have on the cpu cooler i will have 8 fans in total.

We have a wood burner in our dining room that we use in winter and it heats the house very good and every room is roasting, So i thought with me playing games and how warm it gets in winter in our house i thought i better equip it.



I also have a fan that goes on to the pci ports, i will get a pic up, it is an exhaust fan realy but with that hot air rises i don't think it would do any good

 

[luke123]

best keep the window open in winter then, no point having 8 fans blowing intense wood burner heat through the case

having said that, a good airflow in the case can drastically lower the temps, load and idle of the major components, a good airflow case can get away with fanless coolers on the cpu & gpu, not that I would recommend spending the rather large amounts of cash on those coolers. and besides that they are usually quite large.

Im already freezing as it is, so opening windows is a no..no

I will take a pic of the fan unit i am on about

 

[luke123]

To see what ?

Im hoping the finished pc

 

[luke123]

So i have an update with pics, There is a few so be patient

SORRY ABOUT SOME OF THE BLURRY PICS


Any way i have got my fans and cpu cooler

I have put the P4 in to see what room i have with the fans

There is about 1mm gap if that lol

The copper pipes on the freezer 7 pro rev.2 look to be bent what do you wreckon, as i have looked at images on the net and they are all the same????

I have posted a pic of that pci slot fan as well.

I am also out of fan screws im missing 1 of the exhaust Every other fan has 2 diagonally accross from each other.

I have had a couple of reviews say about the cooler as well that the pre-applied thermal paste is abit rubbish, so atleast i atleast get to use the pre-applied paste, then i can use the arctic silver 5 on the quad



Also it will be abit now for the quad and psu and Gfx card as i need to save up for a few things


So some pics:::

Hiper clear exhaust fan 120mm fan

RED L.E.D cooler master 120mm fan

Arctic cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev.2 That fan is tiny

Are the copper cooling pipes crushed???

Sorted the fans out side fans intake, front intake, bottom not decided, rear exhaust

1 screw short

FANS INSIDE IN SITU

Cpu cooler is very close to the fan (Blurry pic sorry)

Pci fan exhaust

Cheers Luke


p.s let me know about the fans, cpu cooler etc as mentioned

 

[luke123]

Not sure about the fans,Though aslong as they do the job who cares I can vouch for the cpu cooler though,It served me well for a long time

Why whats up with the fans???

Is that how the cooler is meant to be with the copper pipes???


cheers Luke
