Yeah, but does your girlfriend think it's sexy.

doyll · 2 Jul 2012 at 20:38

Chris, have you checked your temps yet?

Will be interested in seeing what idle and load tests give for temps.

Very nice clean build.... and we don't want to see the worm farm on the other side

Chris [BEANS] · 2 Jul 2012 at 20:51

Ha, you're all horrible at naming computers!!

I'm thinking maybe Phantom, after the awesome case, but that's not very original, so maybe the Grey Goose (because I'm going to reward myself with a grey goose vodka and coke when it's done!), or The Bruiser (because unintentionally it's black and blue!)...

Like your names are better. :eek:

Darth Vader because it's black and the fans make it sound like it's breathing

The Goose has spoken it's first words.

Chris [BEANS] · 2 Jul 2012 at 23:24

Just put it into place in it's permanent home and found two problems

One bigger than the other!!

The additional fan on the front now isnt working

The 500GB WD HDD isn't showing up at all :eek:

doyll · 2 Jul 2012 at 23:28

No idea about the fan.
Did you plug HDD in after you finished loading OS, etc. ? Not saying you might have forgotten or anything like that... Just I've done things like that a time or three.

Fan is a loose/faulty connection

It's on the case too, not the fan, so I really can't be bothered to return it!!
I've pushed it all together tightly and it's now working great, fingers crossed it stays that way...

The HDD is more troubling....

I have this HDD, and it's powered by a daisy chained SATA power cable from the PSU.
It's actually the first drive plugged in, then further down the cable is the SSD and finally the BD rom. Both of which work great.
It's attached to the mobo by the second of the two blue (SATA3) cables that came with the mobo.

The mobo has two SATA3 slots.
The SSD (boot drive) is plugged into slot 1 and the newly installed HDD is plugged into slot 0.

Could this be my problem?

Can't find anything of significance in the manual about socket 0, but it doesn't sound right!!

tamzzy · 2 Jul 2012 at 23:52

grey goose?

usually slot 0 is for the main hdd/ssd

Correct

tamzzy said:

Should that result in the HDD not showing up at all though??
