white wire is just the rpm wire, for the fan mate to control the fan speed, the believe the Leds are built into the bottom of the fan, if you want to disable the leds,, see if you could take the fan off,, then black out the leds with maybe a marker

Rats, who likes blue anyway!

When I take the fan off tonight, ill update what happens. Thanks man

The box weighs 2.1 pounds says UPS

I never really liked blue.

Alright so I got my heatsink and the removing the LED process went fine. I had to pop off the fan part to get inside it. Well, putting it back together I had to use superglue for this pin to stick to the inside fan part that spins. It didnt go so well, it just wouldnt stick having enough surface area to stick to. I tried for an hour and finally destroyed this spring in it lol. Heres what I am going to do, I zippy tied a 80mm onto it. Im also going to buy copper vram sinks since i dont like the blue sinks that came with it showing.

You can definetly tell inside the case with all the RED LEDs lit up that theirs a huge copper gpu heatstink on the video card. I couldnt be happier minus this fan issue that isnt a problem anymore. I cant wait for the thermalright cpu heatsink in this thing lol.

Actually, I like the zip ties. Makes sure its stable and holds well. Nice little "mod" you got there. Maybe replacing the 80MM with a high cfm 120MM? xD

I already got a 120mm blowing on it from the window, if anything a 92mm? Personally I dont care for the thickness of the fan, but airflow I care about.

Very very nice! AND ... noise level is 28dba, close to silent! That would work out very very good.

Love the build domy. Can't wait for you to get it finished!

steelkane · Jan 8, 2009

Is it me or was this site down for a little bit? a few minutes ago. Well anyways, the fan and copper vram sinks will have to wait another week and half. I was shooting for a clear fan for the VF1000, led or not, just because im picky hehehe. Im really interested in seeing the temps with this VF1000 installed. I will buy some thin clear zip ties, I think that should disguise it.

Memory comes in tomorrow, will be booting the pc for the first time :eek:

BrooksyX · Jan 8, 2009

Well good luck with the first boot. Hitting that power button for the first time is always so suspenseful.

Shhh!!! Don't say that stuff your gonna jinx him. No reason to suggest a fix when there arn't any problems yet.

eidairaman1 · Jan 8, 2009

just suggestions when failure does happen, and in this instance there is a 50% chance it will or will not happen, every PC builder should know these symptoms and solutions.

Shorting I am positive not happening, was washed, wiped, and lots of air pressure blown through it.
Plugs are all seated, tripple checked

Cpu was installed following the corner arrow on cpu lined up with arrow.

I have turned the pc on already a few times, just missing the memory, so I know it powers on :toast:

BrooksyX · Jan 8, 2009

Ahh but you aren't specifically looking for it to power, you are looking for it to post.

Cold Storm · Jan 8, 2009

I gotta say.. All copper set up looks pretty sweet! Can't wait to see those Pii's in there!

Good set up man!

:toast:

yep yep

Good news, my fan controller comes in today a day early.

domy85 · Jan 9, 2009

So it posts, it detects 6GB of memory only at 1067 mhz, but every time i reboot the system, it says last boot fail, please check bios setup is correct. Something is wrong and im almost sure the memory is to blame. Any ideas? i changed all the necessary settings. I tried raising the dram voltage a little more, also tried uping the NB voltage and that didnt work. i updated the bios already. This happens with even only 1 stick in the slot.

domy85 · Jan 9, 2009

well never mind i looked down between the pins of the first memory slot and the pins are all sqrewed and bent. Will be RMA'ing. Wont work
