[tinytomlogan]

Spec list would be good dude. Also for the first 3 sticks of mem on X58 you should be using the white slots on that mobo

Welcome mate

Nice looking rig, neat and tidy.

 

[Squirrel-666]

nice and tidy and agree with tom triple channel ram in white slots ,btw wat case is that. welcome to OC3D

btw is that pump-cpu-rad-res

[Deceit]

Really nice rig, how come only one stick of ram though?

 

[Squirrel-666]

probz just to see if it boots up etc and possible leak test?

For leak testing I wouldn't turn the board itself on at all. Just use a paperclip to get the PSU started and you don't run any risk at all, because there is no elictricty passing through any of your parts.

i know i use a jumper cable i made from a bit of molex wire works wounders

thanks for all the tips guys..

the case is a nzxt tempest evo,

ill show you the various stages this case has been through in a min..

yes there is only 1 stick of ram!, i know its a crime.. im only 15 though.

ill pick up another 4gb soon..

funnily enough, when ive leak tested, ive always booted the pc up!

ive had a towel around all the components though..

thanks, you all seem really nice, and a lot less blunt than overclock.net!

 

[Squirrel-666]
