First time build
- Thread starter Kadan30
- Start date
So far so good, the cpu wasn't fun. Felt like I was gonna crush the damn thing.
Was a bitch getting the 2 x 4pin into the 8pin on the mobo, access isn't the best but I got there in the end.
Never applied thermal paste before so I just did the blob in the middle and just hope that works out ok. Is it ok that I moved the cooler a bit as I had a bit of hassle with the main bracket, It never left the surface of the cpu ?
Back to it tomorrow night.

another few hours tonight, I fired her up tonight also with just the basics and I assume that been able to view the bios and it prompting me for media is a good sign, temps within bios showed 28 / 29.
Save the worst till last me thinks, no idea if thats what most people do but if not then ops
Last shot before I called it a night.

I think there were hovering around 1.14 / 1.17 as I'm at work now I cant check but I'm sure thats right ( set to auto ) I havent made any changes in bios yet as I want to just take 1 step at a time.
The paste I used was the PK1 and I just basically put a blob in the middle, bigger than a grain of rice but smaller than a pea

Its really nice in the flesh, I used my one for quite a while as my main case dude.

Fair play. I mean the case does look marvelously put together. I don't think it helps that there are blue parts in there throwing off the balance.
If it was based around an AMD system (CHIV) with Radeons with stock coolers it would look rather menacing.
What doesn't help for me is that during my teens (when I was young and stupid) I decided to paint all of my walls black and do the skirts and rads red. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep.

turn speedstep off and enable LLC
Looks like a pretty sweet build hardware wise, I'm with AlienALX tho as I dont go much on the red, reminds me of the computer case I cut up with a jigsaw cutter and spray painted red, But is all down to personal preference
I don't even remember the last time I did a whole system build for myself, Its alway upgrades now lol, never a whole new system, maybe one day.
Congrats on the successful build to, glad nothing went wrong.
