My New PC

beejjacobs · 24 Mar 2012 at 02:15

Home from Uni for Easter so thought I'd post some pics of my new PC. Got it second hand, added a few drives and tried to sort the cable management out (was good to start with mind), not perfect but I'm fairly happy. It's a nice case, quite big but plenty of airflow for the i5 and 480 (spec in sig)

Hmm, me neither. I'll try to sort that now.

Even when you make them urls here the reply from the server is "403 - Forbidden" but if you open them in a new window and paste the link into the new window they work. imgur.com must not allow them placed on this forum, try http://tinypic.com/ mate that works better.

I managed to get it to work. I guess imgur does block it being displayed on this site.

It lets you generate BB code on the site, so I doubt that? Though they will not work. Very annoying.

Yeah it does that but they may also block certain websites, so the code will work on other sites probably

Fair enough. Just put it as an album, seems easiest for now.

Nice system. Did you get the whole base unit second hand all together?

How's the cooler on the 480?

What's the cooling like in the NZXT Phantom?

Thanks. Yeah I did, all the drives are mine but the rest came together. Got it off the MM a few weeks ago.

I really like the cooler, all this talk of 480s running hot/loud and mine runs nice and quiet!

I didn't like the look of the case at first, but it's growing on me because it certainly seems good for air cooling. I love having the fan controller on the top, means it can be whisper quiet or ramped up for gaming when I can't hear it anyway.

With the fans on lowest, I'm 'idling' around 30. Not really done much load/temp testing but I'm happy to if you want. GPU gets to around 55/60 in games.

That's some pretty impressive cooling there. Enjoy.

Thats great mate. I bet the 480 is incredible.

Yeah I don't mind being a few generations behind if its a good price and still good performance
