New board arrived on Thursday and is working fine. I didn't use the Zalman cooler this time just in case that caused the problem the first time...
Very nice. Great you managed to get everything in green! Neat slideshow.
The pins they are referring to are the pins in the CPU socket. New boards now have pins there instead of them being on the CPU so the CPU is in...
Quick update. Having sent my board back to the company I purchased it from, I've been told that it had bent pins. I haven't been told where....
Very brave of you trying all that! Shame it didn't work. As I'm RMAing within 7 days of purchase it'll be quicker than you think. I phoned up...
I tried building the PC out of the case again using the stock CPU cooler, some different DDR2 RAM sticks and an old PCI graphics card. Still...
The Zalman fan I connected spins up and has a 3 pin power connector which I connected to the motherboard ok. I did however notice that the...
Hi Karen, My parts are only a few days old so I will look at sending them back (instead of getting a BIOS chip). Meanwhile, I went in to...
Forgive me but I'm not sure I quite understand that. You mean on the 24 pin power connector? How is the power button on the case going to switch...
Pretty much tried that. I unplugged all fans & HDDs and had minimum parts connected outside the case. The video card whines if no power is...
Didn't have any trouble, just advised that you definitely need to remove the middle fan bracket. It just clips off, no screws. Funny thing that...
Is it huge? Well, considering there isn't a removable motherboard tray I can tell you I could still get the motherboard in just fine....
Ended up getting the E6850 @ 3GHz so wont need to overclock ;-) Less hassle. Only problem is I think my motherboard is faulty :-( Have set up...
Just wanted to give some advice about this case which I have just purchased. 1. It's pretty quiet considering it has 4 fans! 2. The rear of...
I've just put together the following system: Antec 900 case Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R, iP35 Express, S775, PCI-E(x16), DDR2 &...
To save the hassle of any overclocking, would an E6850 be better as it runs at 3GHz and 1333 FSB at stock? Cost is just under that of a Q6600....
So which OS? Vista 32 or Vista 64 ? I'm sure most things will be compatible on Vista 32 but if I get more memory in future I'll need a 64 bit...
Will it over clock to 3GHz as easily as the E6600? I wouldn't want to change the voltage and fry it!
When it comes to the 8800 GTX, is there any difference between vendors? XFX, BFG and MSI all have over clocked versions though prices are slightly...
I can get a Q6600 for £30 more than the E6600. There's a price drop coming in the next week or so you see. I was quoted about £150 for an E6750.
