Nice clean build BP! I always drool looking at the Switch 810

[Spoiler alert Brandon]

I've had that board and surely enough, it was the worst GB 1366 board I've worked with when it comes to OCing. As evident with your screenies, it takes a considerable amount of juice to get to 4 Ghz. My older (and venerable UD5 can get to 4.0 stable with <1.3v). I was working with a 920 back then so you might have a better luck with a 930 once you start tweaking your settings. You can't really complain when it is free right

?
Oh and the pushpins have to go, save yourself the headache this early

Edit: the more I look at that Switch 810 the more I want it

Black Panther · Jul 18, 2012, 07:29 PM

Quick question about the motherboard sata connections:

The blue ones are 3 GB/s and the white ones 6 GB/s.

My common sense says that I should connect the SSD and blu-ray to the 6 GB/s ones so they get the speed advantage. Is this OK or is there some limit or other thing which dictates which connections to use?

bogmali · Jul 18, 2012, 07:43 PM

It wouldn't hurt to put both on the white connectors, but me puts SSD on the white one and BD on the blue one.

pantherx12 · Jul 18, 2012, 07:51 PM

Blu-ray reader wont' need a 6GBs connection as pulling data off the optical media it's self is the bottle neck there.

m1dg3t · Jul 18, 2012, 08:48 PM

That case is really good for wire management! Did you get anything soreted wih the cooler? Maybe try and adapt a bolt through kit if you have one/some kicking around

As long as you have the pushpins lined up in the right spot to start they work fine, otherwise

Trick is remembering to put them in the right position! lol

Chicken Patty · Jul 19, 2012, 12:12 PM

Looking great BP. Love the case! Kinda similar to my rig.

D007 · Jul 19, 2012, 02:59 PM

X-58 ud3r? I have that mobo, been working very nicely for me so far.
Nice looking build man.

Chicken Patty · Jul 19, 2012, 04:57 PM

You mean mam

m1dg3t · Jul 19, 2012, 05:10 PM

You mean Ms/Mrs

BP is NO maam

t_ski · Jul 19, 2012, 05:35 PM

Technically, it would be ma'am, which is short for madam, but I agree - BP would probably prefer Miss, Ms., or perhaps Mistress BP.

Chicken Patty · Jul 19, 2012, 05:59 PM

I meant to say ma'am, but that didn't turn out too well

Lol you made me laugh there guys, with the titles and all

Yay tomorrow I'll be getting the Zotac 670 4GB, delivery date is official now

The pity is that this build is taking place during summer - I'd only be at home for a couple of hours at the most (during work break), and I end up spending them gaming.

This morning I brought the AS5 from the summer place to home so I'd be able to install the CPU cooler. However tomorrow I'd be at home only for a couple of hours as well, and for the entire weekend I won't be there either

.

Next Monday, if we sleep at home, I'll have my other half help me with the cpu cooler installation. I decided that it's better to take the motherboard out of the case to do it, and I'd need another pair of hands because somebody has to hold the motherboard while somebody else clips on the cooler. (I can't exactly put the motherboard in a vice while I do the job...)

I don't think you have to go the extreme of taking the MoBo out to put on the cooler. Just lie it down and install it. It would be more of a hassle trying to put the MoBo back in with the cooler attached.

I'll try that first.
Hopefully if I just remove the RAM then my fingers would comfortably go between cooler and mobo to snap those push-pins....

Yeah taking out the RAM is not a bad idea. The more space to work with the better.

I hate the push pins as much as you(why all my stock coolers are still in the box) They are a hassle but they aren't that hard to get right. You can check that they are in by just checking the backside of the MoBo.

Chicken Patty · Jul 20, 2012, 03:50 AM

That's one thing I did love and miss about my TT Armour+ case that I had. Removeable motherboard tray. Made anything so easy.

Good luck on the CPU cooler install BP.

BP just buy some bolts and nuts, it's SO much easier and your about 1000x less likely to warp your motherboard

If your use bolts and nuts and a backplate then you can install outside of the case and lower the entire motherboard in holding the CPU cooler : ] Thanks to the backplate it becomes the strongest part of the motherboard by far so heatsinks become handy carrying handles

Well where is she gonna get a backplate? Not saying it's not a good idea but...

They sell them for £2 on ebay.

Or if there is a fabricator in town you could get one knocked up for a £10.

Hell I've made backplates out of all kinds of things myself

Even without the backplate bolts are still a far better option, won't have to worry about 4 tiny bits of plastic holding up a kilo of metal and plastic ( let's not forget as it's a tower cooler quite a lot of leverage would be involved as well)

Mounting pressure would be improved as well so you'll get a a degree or two free performance boost : ]

t_ski · Jul 20, 2012, 01:38 PM

I know there are lots of online stores in the US that sell backplates for all kinds of sockets. Probably something available over the pond as well.

INSTG8R · Jul 20, 2012, 01:54 PM

Well looking at the mounting system I don't know how easy it would be to change the pins out for bolts without getting even more creative.

looking great, BP!

Well that's not a very good system, is it?

m1dg3t · Jul 20, 2012, 02:21 PM

I, GASP, have used a flat bladed screwdriver to get pushpins locked in before. Who was it that said "If it doesnt fit, use brute force" lol Or something along those lines lol

If you line the pins up when the cooler is "free air" it should sit right onto the MoBo then push n' twist and it should lock in

I have also found installation to be easeier outside of the case but you need to be sooooper carefull when reinstalling! I have also found that laying the tower on it's side helped things along

After seeing the mounting system there I'm not sure a bolt through would even work, I should have checked more before suggesting it. Sorry

pantherx12 · Jul 20, 2012, 02:23 PM

Aye I wasn't expecting a system like that either, weird scythe went for that rather than something more robust.

INSTG8R · Jul 20, 2012, 02:31 PM

Still say in this case it's just as easy to do in the case. just lie it down and have at it. It's a least in a nice stable base. No worries of having to hold on the MoBo, moving around etc. She has the huge hole in the back to check the pins are all in correctly.

I would think it would be worse doing it out of the case for flexing and warping I guess that's just me. I prefer the stable "workbench" of it being bolted in the case.

Probably something available over the pond as well. __________________ t_ski's stuff for sale ~ TPU Eyefinity Club ~ Heatware Silverstone TJ07 build ~ Mini ITX Home Server build Intel i7 3930K ~ Asus P9X79 Pro ~ 4 x 8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866 C9 ~ Triple 7970's with EK FC-7970 CSQ ~ Triple Asus VW246H LCD's ~ 2 x 120 GB Corsair Force 3 (Raid 0) ~ 500GB WD ~ Lite-On BluRay ~ Nickel-plated Heatkiller 3.0 CU ~ D5 with EK X-top ~ BIX Quad Rad ~ Corsair AX1200 ~ Silverstone TJ07

Who was it that said "If it doesnt fit, use brute force" lol Or something along those lines lol If you line the pins up when the cooler is "free air" it should sit right onto the MoBo then push n' twist and it should lock in I have also found installation to be easeier outside of the case but you need to be sooooper carefull when reinstalling! I have also found that laying the tower on it's side helped things along After seeing the mounting system there I'm not sure a bolt through would even work, I should have checked more before suggesting it.

It's a least in a nice stable base. No worries of having to hold on the MoBo, moving around etc. She has the huge hole in the back to check the pins are all in correctly. I would think it would be worse doing it out of the case for flexing and warping I guess that's just me. I prefer the stable "workbench" of it being bolted in the case. __________________ Sys.
