[Something Else]

building

cpu in

attaching the cooler

when i was attaching the cooler i had an issue with the fitment. the bracket didnt specify 1155, only 1156 1366 and 775 but after fiddling and head scratching it worked.

ram installed

testing for life.

case prep.

the psu was now installed *note to self purchase modular in future!!

motherboard installed.

wiring this mofo up!

a disgusting amount of cables! what a mess

but here it seems very nice.

while installing windows

and now with the gpu installed which came a month later

currently on order i have 4 fans

3 120mm be quiet fans and 1 140mm apache fan and also some sleeved leds.

plan is to swap the front 200mm to the top of the case as an exhaust and have 2x120mm and 1x140mm blowing in with a 120mm+200mm blowing out
