Woah that's a bit crazy, it defeats the object of buying a heatsink with a large surface area if you go cuttings bits off it! Show us what they've done, maybe you need to go back and have a word with them..!

Exactly what bits have they cut off? I cant think of anything that can be cut off.

a bit off topic, anybody have a way of removing the TT120 mobo mount plate??

That sounds insane, is there capacitors in the way? if so they shouldnt have sold it you if you told them what board you have and they know thier stuff.

eracer2006 · 30 Dec 2006 at 21:55

hes mounted it wrong so he had to cut bits off :eek:

http://www.thunder-keep.co.uk/site/IMG_1351-01.jpg is the way everyones mounted theirs.

mine is sitting rotated 90 degrees left based on that pic :eek:

eracer2006 · 30 Dec 2006 at 22:06

here are some pictures of it, as youll notice its mounted differently to everyone elses.

i told my mum who used her cc to buy all the stuff that we need to rma the motherboard and the ram, she said no, we will send it back to the computer shop :mad:

so no doubt he will muck it up even more and most likely offer me parts from his shop.

argh

i bought all the bits off ocuk and had them fitted by the shop cos when i wired them up exactly the same way as the shop, only the fans got power.

Jokester · 30 Dec 2006 at 22:08

What bits have they actually cut off?

i dont know mate i cant see any difference and i havent taken it off as i dont want to mess it up as then the shop aint liable for damage. however he told me hed had to dremel bits off it to get it to fit.

Grandmaster Fap! · 30 Dec 2006 at 22:35

This thread worries me as it makes me wonder if the 120 doesnt fit in the antec nine hundred and i wanted to buy both these items in my next upgrade :eek:

mine is fitted the same on a abit aw9d max... does it matter? the airflow is going through the psu...

Depends entirely what way round the socket is installed on the motherboard itself, you sure he wasn't just taking the **** over its size?

To be honest, the people in this shop are idiots.
If they give you any trouble in anyway get your mum to get in touch with your local Citizens Advice Beuro. A call from them with sort thing out. (sounds drastic, but its not) dont let them get one over you.

Why do you need to RMA your mobo & ram? has the shop messed them up?

eracer2006 · 31 Dec 2006 at 02:13

the computer ran fine when i got it off them, for 2 days, i overclocked it, the temps were stable, then it would start hanging.

so i reset the cmos, didnt oc it, ran it, hangs, only thing to recover it was to reset the cmos, by taking the gfx card out and putting it back in after removing the battery.

shorting the jumper pins or doing the battery without removing gfx card wouldnt reset the cmos.

now nothing will reset the cmos at all.

wierd problem tbh, i wonder if the shops done it on purpose so i have to keep taking it back to him ?

Try a BIOS update & see if that fixes it.

CBP · 31 Dec 2006 at 18:42

I notice some of you guys have placed the TT cooler 90 degrees to mine. My TT fan is pointing in the same direction as my rear 120mm fan

eracer2006 · 31 Dec 2006 at 20:09

yeh i upgraded the bios from f4 to f7 and it made no difference, if anything it got worse.
