Its build day! Finally. First time builder. i5 2500k, OC but quiet Fractal build.

I think having that CPU Smart FAN Control as disabled as you have it is correct and it will be full power all the time like that, as for tidying the cables, get some cable tie holders (little square plastic holders with double sided tape) and you can use them to tidy things up, also you could braid some cables if your up for it, if not you can buy them pre braided

Cheers, yeah I used two old Sata cables as I wanted right angled ones and the mobo only came with two. The old ones being red makes them stick out a bit!

I've noticed that when I first turned on the system the first few times it seemed quiet, I could not hear it unless I really tired, however now it seems slightly louder and from what I can tell the noise is coming from the Kuhlers radiator area, so the two fans on it, not sure which.

Dunno if this is normal can be solved? Different fans? Or having both fans working off the Kuhler using a splitter?

She only just started working and not in Colchester, however 4 or so years ago she used to work on Crouch Street in that gothic'y shop that no longer exists..

Anyway that is a rather bad picture of her looking rather simple :P She looks different normally, more attractive haha.
 
Did you have to buy any extension cables for the psu to reach the 8 pin/24 pin board connections?

Looking at buying this case and psu for my Sandybridge build.

Yup, I got both, but only used the smaller one (8 pin), although it depends on how tidy you want to make it. For the price i'd say get them, then you have the option and easier to organise the cables with a bit more excess.

Sum up...It wasn't a stretch but the 8pin is deffinately needed, however the 24pin you can do without but helps.
 
Updating the build..

Ordering two Gentle Typhoon fans at 1450rpm for the Kuhler as my stock fan is way noisy :confused:.

I'll then have a spare fan that is silent that I could possibly use with the other fractal case fans with the included controller.

Could someone explain how to use a Y splitter for fans? I've read you can't do it with something like the Kuhler as it needs the full volts, so where can you use a splitter?

Cheers
 
Ah terrifying photo, I wonder how this happens. The case seems very well built so it must have had a proper incident in its travels from OCUK or even from the factory.

Doesn't seem like it could break like that easily :confused:..

Hope you can get it sorted. I'm happy with my case now its all working!
