I haz new PC! :D

[NickHouston]

Yup that's right! I have a desktop now that I just finished building. Works great so far. I'll post the specs tomorrow when I'm done all of the boring setup work.

[MelRose]

Nice! Happy for you Nick. That's awesome.

 

[The Moment]

Maybe you won't have to camp now

 

[NickHouston]

I will always camp... It's in my blood...

 

[MikeK]

Hopefully your blood won't camp inside of you

OT: Congratz, Nick

 

[BluBirD78]

I will always camp... It's in my blood...

He got that from his Dad...

Seriously though, desktops that I've always had seems to "most of the time" play very well compared to a laptop, not to mention the much bigger screen lol, nice work Nick and I would like to see the specs as well

 

[NickHouston]

the finished product:

 

[Kreubs]

Specs please

 

[BluBirD78]

Specs yes lol

Very nice man, oh btw your Intel is sideways

 

[WaLLy]

Nick!

Need some cable management though And do you only have 1 intake & exhaust fan?

 

[NickHouston]

@Blu lol that doesn't matter... according to the guide I watched

@WaLLy I'm gonna be getting more case fans. For now that's all I have.

 

[WaLLy]

The fan isn't unidirectional anyway; it blows everywhere. Once you add the 120mm fan to the left of the CPU fan, some of the air will get drawn to that direction.

Now if you had one of these CPU fans, the direction you set it would be very important:

I have one of these and I had to reseat it :rolleyes:

 

[DamageINC]

Is there a spot to mount more fans? If not, you will have to cut one out. Or a few. I'd monitor temps closely.

 

[NickHouston]

There are 2 spots on the top of the case, one on the back and one on the bottom next to the power supply

 

[WaLLy]

the bottom of the case is useless IMO, especially if you have the wires on top of it.

And your case didn't come with a fan at the top already? wuuuuuutttttt. Get fans, ASAP!

 

[DamageINC]

And keep in mind you pick which direction you want the fan to blow, intake or outtake. Generally you draw air in from the front and blow out the back and top. You usually want to point your CPU cooling fan at an outtake fan.

I know I was giving you a hard time lol.

Haha, I don't know why you would buy this, I have an intel cpu in my computer and it runs pretty damn cool with the stock fan, surely their not any worse now than before...

the bottom of the case is useless IMO, especially if you have the wires on top of it.

And your case didn't come with a fan at the top already? wuuuuuutttttt. Get fans, ASAP!

And to this, a bottom case fan is useful IF you have air flowing in from the bottom, since cold air sinks this would make sense. Unfortunately most PSU fans are wired to have exhaust fans that blow from inside out, no matter the location, but I think if you wire it backwards it will reverse the fan speed, not sure on that though.

 

[NickHouston]

okay... how do you check your specs?
lol
