Friday night head scratcher help :(

Dirty but is currently stopping my hair falling out :D

Just getting the mrs to clean the kitchen so I can get to work :rolleyes:
 
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS ALIVE!!

Powered up first time of asking on the GS800, just about to test the HX1000.

Looks like the culprit was of all things, the CPU!
 
Over the damn moon :D

Now to find out what the score is with the other Corsair PSU. I have a hunch its going to work just fine.
 
SHOCK HORROR!

The HX1000W functions perfectly with both one and two EPS plugs powered up.

Looks like thats a local retailer on my hate list :cool:
 
Indeed, I can now spend the next few hours rebuilding the loop and who knows, I might even get chance to apply an OC on this thing!

Gawd I hate the smell of MX-4.
 
Me too, but better not speak too soon, I haven't actually booted into an OS yet, just bench power to get a readout from the motherboard.

Just waiting for the battery drill to charge up for a minor mod (adding res), looks like my dewalt batteries are on the way out too, things have completely drained over 2 weeks without use :(

Are you safe to be around a drill right now, especially as you haven't loaded an OS yet :D

Power tools I can handle/repair no probs, I'm a dewalt/metabo/makita/bosch (you get the point) repair agent :cool:

Computers on the other hand....wind me up :p

I hope so too, at least I'm making progress, I've gotten further in the last 2 hours than I have in the last 2 weeks :D
 
Unless the motor smells like fire it'll be fine, grinding noise would tell me a gear is stripping, or a bearing has burst ;)

Yup of all places to put a damn sticker that was the worst possible choice.

Didn't get any further last night, ready to bleed the loop and fire it up tonight :D
 
Ta :)

If it's jumping out then it needs the gear box assy replaced, if you registered it you can get this done for free under warranty. Over the last few years manufacturers have been using softer metals in power tool gearboxes, they strip so easily, metabo lt series is a good example of this. Makita do the same. Parts are very very cheap to buy on makita tools though :)
 
Add me on steam - pgi947 and I'll find the right part/price for you, save this thread being over run by power tool repair talk :)
 
Idling just 3c above amb temp too :cool:

I'll leave the overclocking until tomorrow, have to get a heap of drivers and what not installed :D

Very very happy.

Edit: And for the record, my +5v is humming along nicely at 5.04v ;)
