Mobo issue

edscdk · 10 Sep 2015 at 17:10

A friends PC, his mate put it together,

I

tried different ram,
tried a different video card
tried a different PSU
tried to reset the BIOS

took off the heat sync

picture is a bit bigger than i expected...

edit, should added for extra lol's

the RAM was in the wrong slots, the wrong way round, and the video card Gforce 980 was in the PCIE x8 slot (or what ever you call the full length slot with only half the pins)

Wow, that is amazing! Is it a z170 board or a x99? Guessing x99

Wrong section.

1150 CPU on a 2011 board... lol

edscdk · 10 Sep 2015 at 17:17

asus x99, they did at least apply thermal paste (i wiped it off to see what the CPU was)

This never ends well · 10 Sep 2015 at 17:18

Bet there bent pins, or the mobo dead or cpu dead from doing that.

plenty of room for upgrades, can fit another CPU in there...

also the RAM was in the wrong slots, the wrong way round, and the video card Gforce 980 was in the PCIE x8 slot (or what ever you call the full length slot with only half the pins)

This. It's a setup. Nobody is that pants on head retarded.

Err....I hope your friend never lets his mate build him a PC again.

Though, I am now doubting this is real.

I make it 4 weeks for letting his mate build it.

100% genuine,

I spent 30mins swapping bits out and testing before I took the heat sync off... (dont like to waste thermal paste)

What age are you all?

i'm wondering if his "mate" did it on purpose out of jealousy, the CPU cooler was also attached to the case fan connector, both HDD's are attached to the highest numbered SATA ports...

i like the fact they did a good job of applying the thermal paste thought (i rubbed it off before taking the picture)... even though the stock cooler they used has the paste already on it...

One of those times when if it was visible there would be a giant exclamation mark view-able for miles from where I am sitting.

In that case, tell her he needs a 5960x and buy a 5820k, pocket the rest

If that is all genuine, then it has to be deliberate. No way someone would that daft they'd get all those things so badly wrong in one build!

Ram in back to front, how is that even possible??
