My First Build

[Wozzer]

Manual didnt come with the cooler - otherwise I would of read it

Any how - I've managed to get it into place. Its the wires i'm worried about now. Let me list the wires that are spare.

H.D.D LED

It's an arctic cooling freezer 7 pro? I can scan a couple pages of my manual and post them, if you want. I'll just have to see if any of my PCs have the scanner installed. Haven't checked in a while. ><

 

[Wozzer]

I'm pretty sure its secured down. Nothings moving, its pretty darn firm. I have spent 2 hours trying to fit it, so it should be alright - Thanks any how.

I'm just worried about the wires at the moment. Got any ideas...

If I turn it on now - will it run the risk of blowing up.... Or will it not turn on if I have something wrong with it.

 

[Wozzer]

Most of the wires are done - However;

The CPU wire from the PSU will not reach the CPU connecter on the motherboard. I'll have to nip down the shop tommorow.

 

[FilipM]

Nah, that doesn't matter I believe. If it is a three pin it should be ok, except it wont be detected as a CPU fan, it will be detected as Northbridge fan, Case fan, etc. It depends on what it is connected to.

 

[Wozzer]

I mean the wire that powers up the CPU.

I tried booting without realising it wasnt connected and it booted, but didn't post anything on screen.

And not all the fans were connected.

 

[Wozzer]

I need an adaptor for my 24 pin that comes from my PSU up into motherboard. Does anyone know where I can buy one from....? (UK)

 

[Wozzer]

Right - I now have the extension; However.

When I turn the PC on, It turns on but the motherboard doesnt beep and there is nothing on screen - any ideas...?

 

[Thrackan]

Did you manage to get the 4-pin (not the one on the 24-pin) in its socket?

 

[Wozzer]

Yes - Thanks for quick reply

 

[Thrackan]

Can you maybe get a shot of your insides to show what's connected (and what might be missing)?

 

[Wozzer]

I can do if you wish. Will clearing the CMOS help?

 

[Thrackan]

Might, but I doubt a new setup would not be on default settings.
Inside look would be nice, preferrably big frickin pix

 

[Wozzer]

Just trying to find my camera. I've cleared the CMOS - So i'm going to try and reboot now. Give me 5 / 10 minutes

 

[Thrackan]

PCI-E connector on the videocard?

You dont need a screwdriver to fit a freezer 7,you use the screwdriver to remove it,by turning them clockwise and pulling them up.To fit it you turn the pushpin fitting anti clockwise,then with it on the board,push the black tops in till they click.

 

[Wozzer]

PCI-E connector on the videocard?

Funny you should say that. It isnt. But there's no where for it to go, theres already power going into my 4850.

And would this stop the Motherboard from beeping?

Pictures being uploaded now....

 

[Wozzer]

PCI-E2 is in the graphics card. PCI-E1 is out. Should it be the otherway around...?

 

[Thrackan]

I'll wait for pics... But a 6 or 8-pin PCI-E connector from the PSU should most likely has to be connected to a slot on the rear end (the end towards your HDD's) if it isn't already.

1 or 2 wouldn't matter I guess, but you could try switching.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

If your psu has more than one pci-e power lead,it should not matter which one you use.

 

[Wozzer]

Well - There in. I'll try switching it. Photo's will be with you in just a sec.

 

[Wozzer]

 

[Deleted member 24505]

It really should make no differance which one you use.

Can you fill in your system specs in the user control panel please
