New Gaming Rig - self build

[Zak33]

- we buy these over-spec'd beasts of burden for our own pleasure anyway - so feeling good about something is far more important than actual practical relevance

lol.. true

However, many case DO have hard drive fans... they're attached to the hard drive caddy inside the case. My Sugo has one. In fact if I DIDN'T use it I could get a longer graphocs card whoch would have made my life buying a casrd much easier... but as you point out... inner happyness is more important

YAY
it posts,
thanx guys
now setting up the bios. its kinda got a lot more things in it than i remember.
the auto settings on the ram timings in bios are 8-8-8-20 1600mhz 1.5v
printed on the sticks of corsair xms3 ram is 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 1.65v.
are these mandatory settings that the ram should run at? or optional settings for over-clocking?
will OC in the future but just want a stable system to put windows on [if i can find it ] for now.
cheers guys
