Thought id try and keep it all in one thread rather than keep making new ones.
I ordered all my bits from overclockers after much debating as to what i should buy.
Ordered it about 3:30-4pm, and it arrived 10:15am the next day!!!
^^^ this concerned me, that the chip is inside that grey square above, and hardly protected, so easily squashed... intel should work on the packaging more!!!
Lots and lots of goodies, feels like christmas.
I did not realise just how big this mofo would be!!!
Corsair was packaged really well and in its own seperate bag etc.
Inserted ram to 1,3 and 6 as per motherboard instructions.
The fenrir is absolutely huge!!!
Getting the last 2 motherboard screws in was a nightmare with the fenrir being so massive... finally got it in with a bit of juggling....
Build went well, 2 things that would have speeded it all up was not dropping the jumper from the hdd in the case behind the motherboard, and not dropping a screw which rolled behind the motherboard and into the case... was a nightmare having to play a game of rolling the case about til the screw fell out a tiny hole... my arms were knackered afterwards.
The build quality of all the parts is great, the fenrir was easy to instal, the case is build well and quite solid, the motherboard looks fantastic and everything just feels well built.. the corsair is completely silent as well once the case door is shut... the only noise now comes from the gpu fan whish isnt 'too' bad... and the fenrir... which although it says the fenrir is silent on the box, this is a lie... its not silent at all.
My temps looks good as far as im aware... currently 30 degrees on idle, fan at 2280rpm and only the rear case fan on... gets a bit noisy with 3 other 120mm fans going.
Going to overclock it but have no idea what to do yet, ive installed cpu-z, gpu-z and speed fan. the bios is good and has lots of features, just need to work out what to do.
cpu - 920 i7
gpu - 1gb dark night 4870
mb - asus p6t pro
ram 6gb ocz gold 1333, says in cpu-7 its at 533 mhz
hopefully some of you could advise on what to do next
