Pity you dont know what the PC is used for and why he has a i7+16GB RAM

i dont put it as its hard to say tbf its a general use but i game, build websites, spreadsheets, photo editing use as a server everything really hence lots off processing and ram =]

yes ive changed it a little since then hence the new thread lowered graphics and pumped a bit more cash in to it dose it matter if the processor is ivybridge or sandybridge when it comes to comparable with mb? or is it just the chipset its running?

stulid said:
check if it supports Ivybridge and what BIOS revision is needed for this.

ok so how ex actually would i tell this and dose it really matter if the system is balanced as you suggested before?

thanks for your on going answering off my nub questions helping me a lot!

ahhh i didnt go with that as the one i selected has 3 4 pin sockets and i could do with a few fans

NoUserName · 14 Aug 2012 at 19:03

ok so then i would just need to plug it in and boom they all power up (case fans that is) or would i need a power source for each fan?
