team flex Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 You will notice it ingame. When I swapped I found it soo much better playing games, especially FPS titles. now I have to regretfully inform you that, spending so much on a PC has meant that I have to use a sony bravia 40 inch tv as a monitor for the time being. The problem being it has a refresh rate of 50hz LOL. So I basically spent £1k on a pc and could get the same result from a £400 pc, but I will save up to get a 144hz monitor, hopefully at the end of the year. How will I notice 50 fps cap? (do I even english xD)
BBrotherwood Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 That is another debate entirely My view though is that eyes can only take in the equivalent of 28 FPS so as long as its more then that I dont care lol. Besides there is no hard in future proofing your pc

Besides there is no hard in future proofing your pc yeah, well whenever I get £300 to spend on a monitor i guess I will be able to play at 144hz then, but I will be waiting a few months. Can't wait to build my pc, it should all come by thursday and then I will either build on wednesday or thursday depending on when it comes BBrotherwood 1
team flex Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 so the case and the cpu have arrived, also expecting more today, will add when i get them. WARNING YOU NOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF PICTURES BELOW! Will add my thoughts on them so far later ] sorry for shaky photo sorry for the blurred picture, camera was playing up/ I can't take photos xD
BBrotherwood Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 My case looks so boring and ugly now team flex 1
team flex Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 everything has come bar the ram ffs, that might come on thursday or friday so having to wait until then to actually use the PC. shame, just because 1 person lied about 1 day dispatch
team flex Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Oh no...It has begun. Yep, still sitting here scratching my head. So, I have done cpu, cpu cooler, added to case, then connected all of the case things except for 2 things that I cannot workout where they go. Still, will take a picture tomorrow. I know one of them is a direct audio power thing but idk where the F*ck it goes lol. Will just add the gpu tonight I think, or maybe psu or both, idk we will see
team flex Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 I have everything everywhere as well, cba to take a picture but will do tomorrow, , literally leaning on my psu cables whilst typing, got my psu sitting next to me with the box of the hyper 212, and then the gpu box on the floor, cpu box god knows where, cable ties and screws and everything. Oh yeah and the thermal paste sitting there as well lol really quite messy lol
team flex Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Read your mobo manual... have done, nothing in there really, apart from the fact it is 100 pages thick XD. right so its like folex or whatever, connects the NZXT mini circuits, will do it tomorrow. Added the psu and now doing GPU, will finish tomorrow but have to wait till thursday/friday for the ram to arrive
team flex Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Molex. thats the one xD, just realised the connector has been sitting in the msi mobo box. FUUUUUUUU that makes life a bit easier. So i am just connecting the gpu up, then will do molex connector, and then off to bed. I have spent a good 4 hours on this lol, too tired now
team flex Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 right time for bed, just done some cable management. I have to do - tomorrow will add the hard drive, connect everything then check everything, and do some research making sure everything is right, and then hopefully thursday the ram will come and I can fire her up and get the os installed, and then do some gaming Undieing_Lust 1
team flex Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 right to update: done the hard drive, connected pretty much everything into the psu, so now all the mini circuit boards on the case have power. I think everything else has power as well, there should be a number of connectors that don't have anything in it? i think e.g sys fan 1 and 2 etc won't be in use as the case has a mini circuit board which is plugged in, although I have one connector which I have no idea about. will edit it in,
team flex Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 here these are them, the ones I have highlighted in red. I have no idea what they do/where they go or connect into, please help! thanks guys sorry about the paint editing as well lol
Undieing_Lust Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Those connectors are 3 or 4 pin fan connectors. I can't remember if you case has a fan controller on the back. If it does power it and plug them in there. If not your going to have to find headers on your mobo to power them.
team flex Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 this is what I have I have no idea where the plug goes though, not the same connection
BBrotherwood Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 That is just a fan splitter to make the case a bit neater. What plug are you confused about?
Undieing_Lust Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 You plug in the molex hanging from your fan controller to your PSU's molex power. And when you have that done just plug in your fan fan connectors to the 3 pin connectors hanging from your fan controller. (Edit: It should tell you in your case manual how to connect it. Sorry for long replays on phone.)

And when you have that done just plug in your fan fan connectors to the 3 pin connectors hanging from your fan controller. (Edit: It should tell you in your case manual how to connect it. Sorry for long replays on phone.) the molex is all done, that powers the LED's and the fans. However there is one connector that I have no idea of what it does, just uploading photos to photobucket, I can't find where it goes anywhere it seems That is just a fan splitter to make the case a bit neater. What plug are you confused about? i will upload some photos to show you. will add another one when done
team flex Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 right guys, it is actually just another way to power the fans, so it is not needed. Was a bit worried then. Ok, so now i just need to check everything, and then I have to wait another day to get the ram lol to actually use it. Should I power it on to see if it works or not?
Undieing_Lust Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Without RAM, you cannot get a display.
team flex Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Without RAM, you cannot get a display. ok, scrap that then, will just wait a day... prepare for a lot of photos (about 60 )
