hi Guys
Got all my new PC components today from OC and have been assembling it all together.
I am having some issues with all the cabling however.
I am happy I have connected all the components correctly but I am slightly confused on the Case cables for the fans, buttons and LEDs
Am I right in thinking the case fans, power buttons and LEDS's get all their power from the Motherboard, thus I don't have to hook up a cable to the PSU as there seems to be psu connectors attached to the case?
I have connected the cases: reset button, HDD light, power button and HD audio cable to the Motherboard.
There was also a USB 2 connection coming from the case somewhere so I have hooked that up, and the 5 case fans link in to a hub on the back side of the case. This hub has a cable that connects to one the motherboard chassis fan pin socket but it also has a PSU connector too, so does the PSU need hooking up to this?
Also should there not also be a cable from case for POST beeps on boot?
The 2nd question is I have put thermal paste on CPU and seated the heatsink.
What temperature should a 5820k CPU idle at clocked to 3.8GHZ (I would guess somewhere between 35-45 would be acceptable with a phanteks TC12DX cooler)
Would approx 75 degrees under heavy gaming load be about right?
I plan to install Windows 8 tomorrow and soak test the machine tomorrow with an old GPU for 24 hours but would like the above clearing up before I turn it on.
Thanks
Jim
