first build log

NTM2003 · Apr 4, 2015

hopefully the bios will be easy to understand.

Jetster · Apr 4, 2015

You really shouldn't have to do anything to the bios. At first anyway. Maybe adjust your fan speed. Watch some youtube videos of the bios

NTM2003 · Apr 4, 2015

OK good so I just hope it all goes good and not have to return any DOAs

Jetster · Apr 4, 2015

Probably not, it does happen though. Save all boxes including shipping. Take your time and be careful

NTM2003 · Apr 4, 2015

Yup I be positing pics of my build on this build log thread

The only thing I would have changed is the HDD I would have gone with a Blue and spent some money on a decent SSD other than that it should serve you well

An WD RE4 2 TB Enterprise Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD2003FYYS $71.99 + Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM)$105.99 total cost $177.98

Will the h80i cooler fit in my case? Case info above on first page

Jetster · Apr 5, 2015

It should. Edit your first post and place all your parts list there. That way people don't have to search the thread.

Also I know you have an Amazon prime account but shop around. That price on a DVD drive is double what NE has it for

ok so more and more problems for the GTX 970 have been poping up on this site now makes me think twice so still deciding rather or not its still a good GPU i might save up for the GTX 980 i really like the asus GTX 980 gold that i saw on this site but not sure how long it will be available till they all sell out.

The 970 is still an excellent card. I'm running the msi 970 on a 4k monitor. Amazing performance.

seems like a very good mobo i think i made the right move on that, i hope the i5 will last a few years planing on overclocking i was thinking off using the stock fan just to make sure eveything works but i think i can wait for the H80i to come in next week

That is actually a good idea. In fact I usually do a bench test of the part outside the case A POST test. No drives just to make sure we are go for the build

Sometimes a cooler not properly installed will stop a board from POST

Then after every major part install I check to see if it still will POST

Just make sure you unplug it before continuing with the build

Countryside · Apr 7, 2015

Really nice bro! you got some quality parts :toast:

Actually, all of the boxes should be kept for at least the length of their warranty. It also makes items more appealing when reselling them.

NTM2003 · Apr 8, 2015

well I did it I built a pc installed windows everything is working grate so far using the stock fan as of now till my H80i comes in, I should be OK running normal programs with the stock fan no oc done to it, just enough to download updates and software without it overheating right?

Jetster · Apr 8, 2015

Your fine running anything with the stock fan. Just dont overclock

Devon68 · Apr 8, 2015

just enough to download updates and software without it overheating right?

You can even play the most demanding games as well. The stock cooler will keep your cpu in the safe zone if it's not overclocked. If the stock cooler would be that bad as you think intel would probably not ship it with the cpu.

NTM2003 · Apr 9, 2015

I transported my PC to a friends house and pluged it in and now it won't turn on I checked everything on the mobo and its all plugged in show what happened need help!

Devon68 · Apr 9, 2015

Maybe something lost contact while you were transporting it try to re-check every wire.

NTM2003 · Apr 9, 2015

I'm going back home now and take it apart and put it together again see what happens

NTM2003 · Apr 9, 2015

ok go got the pc back home didn't touch anything when I was at my friends house and now it works fine WTF?
