Project Cyclone

Done a couple of pre-checks. Just need the CPU and CPU paste now. Other than that,
pretty sure I have everything I need. There are a lot of fan cables, so I hope I can keep them tidy.
Keeping it all organised and taking it step by step.
I lost a friend the other day. Thanks, Karol, for the hanging out together and for sorting me out with the job at the bar where we worked.

Can confirm that I managed to put the pieces together, and it switches on. I have photos to prove it!
Trying to install an OS on it now. Im stuck at the BIOS screen, and am just trying something else.
Updates to follow at some point.

Im going to do a fresh install of Windows when I get time, because I believe there's a better way than I did it.
However, I am very chuffed :)

I just spent a couple of trying to tidy up the cables. The outer mesh stuff has helped a lot. It still looks a bit messy at the ends, but I can sort that out
either by burning it or maybe Ill just use some white tape.

I decided to go with the air cooler in the end. I did install the AIO at first. But there was a gurgling noise which I am sure is normal but it made me anxious so I took it out!
I realised also that the CPU is only 65W DTP, so I dont even need an AIO. At first I didnt like that the air cooler was so big, but I think I prefer it now.

I have a large and unnecessary 64GB kit of RAM for this build. I dont think its currently at the right settings, so next thing to do is fix that.
