Little PC Upgrade incoming...!  Reply with quote  

Haven't been to any LAN's lately as my rig has been on the fritz. Had 3-4 fans die, and my H60 may be on the fritz as well.

New:
- GTX 1070 FTW
- Obsidian 350d mATX case
- EVGA SuperNova 750 G2 power supply
- Corsair H100i V2
- (Re-using my EVO 840 500gb SSD/3TB HD and my mATX mobo)

Also got an i7 2600 used off of [H] forum (have an i5 now).

My old 16gb of RAM, PS, GTX 970 and new case/dvd + AMD 6 Core and Mobo from Danman and a spare SSD/3TB drive will go to build my son his first REAL gaming PC.

Will post some pics when done, I am excited to go to the 350d for all the cable management options!

Holy hell I forgot how much I hate this.

Pulled all my parts and donated my 970 and PS to my sons PC. The mobo and chip from Dan are working great (http://www.okgg.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13799). Now to get him some games and he might come to a few LANs!

Been working on my machine all evening and am about halfway there. FML my 2011 Lian Li case was OMFG dirty. Wow......the H60 radiator was almost 100% clogged so I chunked it and the case lol. Soooo much old dust.

Finally got a H100i v2 squeezed into my Corsair 350d. Was a TIGHT fit and no more CD Rom for me lol.

Tomorrow I hope to get the PS in, cable manage and then vid card and she should be up and running quick! Not switching mobos, so leaving Win 10 install as is as well as HDs.

Pretty sweet to get so much mileage out of a 2011 Mobo (has USB 3 and 6gb SATA). Found an i7 to swap in vs my i5 so I figure with the new 1070 I should get 3+ more years out of it?!

Will post some pics tomorrow I hope!

Dust and computers are just a fact of life.....thats why I got an air compressor Razz. It has payed for itself many times over the last couple years.

W/C setups are notoriously bad for impacting dust between the fan and the radiator. I try to remember to clean mine out with an air compressor every couple months.

Having a HD issue, need help.

Moved everything over and PC isnt seeing my 3TB drive. BIOS sees it, WIN 10 doesnt. Doesnt show up in disk management. Its on same SATA connector/sable as before. OS did not change, not motherboard. Just moved it over. SSD OS drive works fine, it just wont see the 2nd drive.

Ideas?

Finally got it working.

1) New SATA cable
2) Put it on its own SATA power
3) rebooted several times

Bam it appeared. Scarry stuffs. I hate Hard Drives.

I'm betting the H60 wasn't dead, just clogged. Did you have any evidence other than not cooling properly to show it wasn't working? Was it making any noise?
