First time H440 build!

The windows copy is genuine! It's just doesn't include the support. It's a pc builders copy. I was pretty sure that it was a dvd drive but I'm going to try it on a laptop later and check. I've not updated the bios but how would I do that?

To be honest it should just work - might be a silly question but is the drive definitely DVD drive? We have an old external drive here at work and it is only capable of reading CD's not DVD's!

Brilliant!

That was the problem! it didn't say on the drive itself but i looked up the model online and its a cdrw not dvd. I just bought a dvd drive online so hopefully all is well! Thanks!

just a few pictures of the build coming up!

This is a backplate i bought for my GTX 780ti. Just took a little fitting.

Wile i was reassembling it all i took a snap of the base interior.

Im not a fan of the way the cables on the cooler pump route round but I've tidied it up a little bit since that photo. :-)

The next step for me due to a lack of OS was to fit the lights (had nothing better to do).

I bought some adhesive backed velcro strips so i could move or take off the lights if i needed to.

This is the velcro fitted to the lights and next to the radiator

After much debate i removed all the unwanted hard drive sleds and fitted a second strip down the front of the fans.

FINALLY GETTING THERE! (can't change the light colour for the RAM or pump logo without software so it looks a bit odd).

As if you were using a CD-drive instead of a DVD-drive

I just went on what my dad told me! Plus it wasn't stated on the drive itself

Looking good man, love the GPU backplate!

CK_LUDA · 4 Aug 2014 at 18:56

All finished! A troublesome build but finally complete and looking good! I'm currently away and about to go on holiday but I will load pictures ASAP

Very nice man. Just finished a long H440 build too and am so relieved that I don't have to do anything else to it (for about a week until I decide that something needs changing)
