Spec Check Please?

psu?
looks like ocuk is having a hard time keeping them seasonic in stock
go for the one with the handle^^

Hahaha :D:p

I was actually going to go for the Seasonic, but it is not in stock :o

Looks like I may have to go for the Corsair.

Although, if it's heavy, I think I will need a handle and the one you recommended will be ideal to carry it home :rolleyes:

That's an extremely sexy build.
Which colour did you go for on the R4 (case)?

As for the HD7950 - I'm slightly surprised you decided to go for Gigabyte (due to warranty).
Base clock is high though :)!

Looking forward to it - I just received my monitor :D

I went for the Gigabyte as I believe it has 3 years Warranty and also it had 3 fans which I believe was good for cooling.

Google reviews also backed this up.

Which monitor did you get? :)
 
I am currently using a 6 year old machine so I will be like ZOMG ZOMG once I am up and running on the new one :p

Final delivery due tomorrow (if all goes well) :D
 
Soooooo :D

I built my first pc last night, took my time and enjoyed it, was really fun and interesting, exciting!!! :p

Question, my Design R4 case did not come with a speaker wire, is this normal and have other people also experienced this?

My PC POSTed but I was wondering why I did not hear any beeps so was a bit hesitant in deciding whether or not I had set everything up correct :p

Tonight, I will install Windows 8 Preview via USB Flash, install the graphics card, soundcard, sort out all of the wires and then shall post a picture :D
 
There might be a tiny speaker that comes with your PSU which plugs into the front panel section of your MB. I know mine did.

I checked the PSU, there was a molex connector which then had two 4 pins ready to connect somewhere, but I didn't know where.

I checked to see if this connect was fitted the SPEAKER connectors on the motherboard and this was not possible.

Therefore, my guess is that this cable goes into the Motherboard somewhere but not sure what's it is used for?

EDIT - The cable i'm talking about is for a floppy drive, found out :p


Still, my original question regarding the beep on a Gigabite UD3H? :(

If my memory serves me right. There is no speaker or hdd led wire.
There is hd audio one though.

That is correct.

I have plugged in the HD Audio cable.

I am guessing your PC does not beep during POST? Unless you have added your own seperate wires for the speaker?
