New Build

Did you order the out of stock ram with the other stuff? OcUK will hold the entire order until it's in and other stuff may go out of stock in the mean time, thus pushing the delivery further back.

Yer i did :/ sounds like this could get messy and consist of me waiting a long time! I asked OCUK on friday when stock was due and they said any day now so fingers crossed!

The other option is to call them tomorrow and cancel the ram from the order and either order it again separately or choose another set?

Thanks for heads up on how the ship mate. Will call the tommorow and see what they say. Hopefully ram comes in stock on monday but we dont live in an ideal world i guess
 
Hi Guys,

As you know the team vulcan orange 2400 is currently out of stock and OCUK have now got back with a date for me (This Friday, but will be dispatched on Monday for Tuesday delivery most likely).

Is it worth waiting for them or shall I just proceed with ordering 1600? Will there be much of a difference? What I'm thinking is i can just overclock the 1600 versions?

I'm off Wednesday and was hoping to do the build then which is coming into play.
 
Will get a project log underway on Wednesday :) Step by step images I think to document for myself and anyone else who's interested. Hopefully helpful for any other first time builders out there. Hopefully don't get stuck mid-way and have to ask for help ha.

Thanks again chaps.
 
Just noticed that the cables are labelled as 'extensions'. Does this mean i have to use the original PSU cables aswell as the orange cables? Just thinking for cable management its even more to worry about!

As for the case wires (2pin iso) do the originals simmply unplug from the front of the case? They came pre plugged in on my 300r you see.

Regards,

Add the extensions to the existing cables.

Does that not get messy? Ideally I want orange cables coming out the PSU and orange cables going into the motherboard. I guess I won't get this in extensions then.

PSU has white light emitting out of cable inputs you see so draws attention to the cables. At the same time I hate the coloured wires going into the motherboard.
 
Thanks mate. I think i would have black original cables coming out of the PSU and orange going into motherboard. Extensions allow me to do this? As with some cables (GPU and CPU) there are parts that are hanging next to the socket that don't need to be plugged in e.g CPU is 4 pin and 2 pin power but they supplied one 4 pin and another 4 pin supplied in 2 halfs (2 sets of 2) and i've only needed to plug 1 set of the 2 in, leaving the other 2 hanging next to it (hopefully this makes sense :S). I cant recall what the actual numbers are btw, so just using this as an excample. Hopefully the extensions could fix this by hiding the hanging bits behind the board.

davido_labido (forum member) does great custom sleeving. And Pexon PCs.

What are his prices usually? Think he will be able to solve the issue with my GPU and CPU power leaders having to many headers?

Personally, from where you are now in the build etc... I'd just use the normal cables out of the PSU, cable tie them nice and neatly out of the way behind the motherboard tray (rear of case area) and then use the extensions back to the PC, which if done neatly will look epic :)

Thanks mate. Will consider this.

Will upload some pics to explain the situation with the spare headers on CPU and GPU power soon.

As for too many headers, on the top of your mobo there is an 8 pin header and a 4 pin header. You only need to use the 8 pin header (with a 4+4 pin connector), meaning that the extra cable you have doesn't need to be used.

Alright mate - pics below. My PSU only came with one CPU power cabl and as you can see, a big blue peice doesn't need to be used. Same for the GPU, except there is another cable for SLI (Would leave even more bits hanging off then!)

Any ideas if this can be rectified or should I just leave them there?









 
Both CPU (blue cable) and GPU (red cable) are all sleeved together mate so i've got a loose blue and a loose red which is annoying. Ideally they'd be separate so I could remove the ones I don't need but unfortunately that's not the case. No way around this? I guess I'll have to live with it if not and the PSU is simply setup this way for more powerful boards / GPUS that need more pins than mine?
