Looking at those pics my fan is the right way round. Btw the pic with the inside is upside down.

I believe hes on about your cooling fan? which is on your CPU, i may be mistaken though.

If so i do apologise.

Both that and the exhaust

^^ lmao XD

I do try

Either way, hes got a lot of changing to do to have his computer properly working, and it needs doing pronto, as if he leaves it and runs prime or something, probably overheat and kill everything

That being worse case scenario

The psu fan is facing downwards.

Pictures please, as it shouldn't be on downwards? I don't think anyway. :confused:

EDIT: I am incorrect, ignore this post

me thinks it should, let it suck cool air from the bottom of the case

+1 I do this too but PSU installation generally doesn't matter

I havent done a custom cooler build yet, but nvm

oops...

If it's on decent sized feet on a solid floor so it can get plenty of air from underneath it then PSU fan facing down is ideal, can face up if you have a decent side panel fan just above it but will be pulling cool air away from the gpu or could take in warmer air from the gpu if the side panel fan isn't great.

Ok so all that need changing is the way the position the cpu fan is. I ran prime 95 for a while and it got to 60 degrees is this normal?

Jony27 · 18 Jul 2011 at 20:29

overclocked or stock

anuraj · 18 Jul 2011 at 20:30

Stock obviously, I won't overclock on the first day.

Oh yeah, 2 of my usbs on the front aren't working, the other 2 are. There aren't any more usb 2 slots that I can see so can anyone give me some help.

Did you connect the cables from the case onto your Mobo correctly?

Would be a case of re-seating them into the correct Mobo slot and testing whilst lying on its side to see if they work.

It isn't obvious that you won't overclock first day most people that got sandybridge overclocked straight away.

Contact OcUK might have to send the case back. There should be some usb slots on the back of the case though.

I am overclocked at 4Ghz and getting 70 degrees running prime95.

anuraj · 18 Jul 2011 at 20:35

No there aren't a usb 2 slots on the mobo.

The one I plugged in the red slot works.

DefiantAsh · 18 Jul 2011 at 20:42

Did you read the Mobo manual? I think you probably did

Below the red thing, there is a small set of blue ones, im sure some go there???

Will take another look at it later.

Subliminal Aura · 18 Jul 2011 at 20:43

Any updates on the cooling situation ?

If you look now, you can get it sorted.

If leave then you will take longer to RMA the case

And if you do it now, and its not sorted, you can RMA it tomorrow morning
