Computer Build – Part 1
I could not build it last night, wasn’t “allowed” to clear off the table >.<
Managed to get it cleared off tonight, and started work.
Heres some piccies, I apologise for the quality and lack of more pictures but the anti-shake seems to fail much of the time, so I had to cull alot of them. Sadly this is the cream of the crop.
-
- Twelve Hundred gamers case unwrapped
-
- The work begins, not the most organised approach
-
- Processor and RAM fitted
-
- Whilst fitting the processor I sliced my thumb open
-
- I unwrapped the Inno3D i-Chill… its massive, it takes up 2.5 slots :O
-
- Graphics card is fitted
-
- Cool feature I found
-
- Lift the tab
-
- Pull the tab
-
- And hey presto, easy access to the air filters
-
- Its late, so that’ll do for now
The CPU heatsink was the most difficult part. I struggled to push the pins into the board and I was scared of breaking it. In the end I took it out of the case, placed the board on top of its anti static bag and resting the lot on a blanket I managed to get the pins through the board. Looking at it closely the board is slightly warped, will have to see what damage I might done once I boot it up.
During one attempt my thumb slipped and I cut it open on one of the heatsink fans. I saved you a picture of the gash (bit excessive :P)
Thats it for the night, I plan to continue tomorrow and will post more pictures.
