Well today I finished wiring the connections and such, I got the motherboard splash screen which means everything is working! I'm just waiting on the dvd drive to come in from NewEgg so I can load an OS!
Seeing the Carbide 400R case fans light up for the first time today was awesome! :)

  • nice build i only miss a small ssd :P like 30gigs or so

  • @nervenjere I would have, but 30 gigs doesnt fit the OS so I saw no point. :p

  • @mrgeo20 Hey, I have the same CPU. Will it work on any AM3 socket? Because my new PC I built won't post. I tried every item in the case on another motherboard and they all work. The only thing that's left is the CPU or motherboard. Do you think it's the motherboard?

  • @shakazulu012 no, it works on an AM3+ socket only.

  • two questions... first what settings will bf3 run on this pc? also who did the remix of the bf theme song, was interesting.

  • @fatallyyrs27 I run everything on Ultra but my monitor is 16:9. I don't know who mixed the song.

see all

  • @mrgeo20 LOL. That's why it didn't work. Someone else said the same thing. Damn, felt dumb there.

  • @mrgeo20 ah sure its enogh ;D the programs have to be on a slower hdd but u improve boot times and stuff :D or u could also use it as chache ( jeah also with the amd platform ) but i forgot how xP

  • @mrgeo20 cant you just boot and install from a usb? instead i mean the bios must be there and ive installed windows many times off my trusty little 4gb flash :) but i guess there are factors like do you have a copy of windows and another pc to make a bootable usb..and stuff
