You can always post pictures of each step you did, showing the inside of your case. That way we can probably guide you through it, by highlight stuff in your pictures.

@ Admin No its not just you, I find building a new system to be very relaxing Very Happy

But then again I AM a computer GEEK Hammertime

@ AyraMizrim Pictures would be good so we can see the exact layout as you see it.

by Guest Mon 16 Sep 2013, 20:31

Thank you so much and yep i understand now what Raid is lol... I found it fun to change parts on the computers and is always cool to experiment with it, like overclocking and all this things. But i suppose my first dramatic memory with the motherboard made me to afraid on that part. Since was first time that i had to put the motherboard in the town and the processor , exept that i have done all the rest multiply times:D . So time to try once more!! Thank you so much guys for everything i really want to go and built my beast computer NOW! Im gonna try and put everything my self and if i have a problem im gonna ask for help again, on the processor do you recommend any good cooling paste?

And last , what do you think of that water cooler?
Cooler Master Seidon 120M CPU Kylare 775/1150/1155/1156/1366/2011, AM2(+)/AM3(+)/FM1, 600~2400 RPM, 19.17~86.15 CFM

by **Dracos66** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 04:31

Nice and compact water cooler, I may have to see if its available here in the states. Very Happy

AS for the best paste, I use Indigo Extreme and have never had a problem with it. The are other cheaper pastes but they cant compare to Indigo IMO.

by Guest Tue 17 Sep 2013, 09:26

Hahaha ok, i saw good reviews about the specific water cooler and was the cheapest we have here and since im gonna build the pc my self i did a small comparison and was actually cheaper... So was remaining enough money to add a water cooler and a 24" screen, so i was happy. The only thing is i have to buy the parts from different stores Facepalm

I mast sound so lazyyy hahaha

by **Dracos66** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 11:25

I buy a lot of my parts from different stores, that way I can get the most bang for my buck. Very Happy

by **Admin** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 20:41

Hi there,

Glad we could help.
Side note: a new processor 9 out of 10 times already has a layer of cooling paste pre-applied! (So no need to buy one for now)

True, but the OEM paste is very sub-standard. I've learned the hard way to go ahead and scrape off the OEM paste and use a better quality heatsink paste, especially when using a water cooling system and/or overclocking the CPU. Facepalm

by **Admin** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 20:49

Really? What a shame... poor pre-applied paste. At least use it for a few weeks and then get rid of it.
When the processor is still new, it looks so good... so beautifully pre-applied and... Facepalm

by **Dracos66** Tue 17 Sep 2013, 21:03

Rule #1 about CPU installation - Never and I do mean NEVER disturb the CPU unless you absolutely have to once it is installed. The smallest static electricity charge can fry it and the MB in less then a nano-second. affraid

Unless of course your Bill Gates and have the money to waste on a new CPU and/or MB.

by Guest Tue 17 Sep 2013, 21:30

Hahaha omg you 2 Facepalm

im not gona remove the paste if it already has it on it hahaha...

As about

Classic way:

Or if you're poor like me:

And if you're rich, like Narong:

Actually you can get the static wrist band for about $5.00 US

This is the one I use

Lol, I bought two via eBay for a few €.

//EDIT

I wonder though, now I've seen that first picture: do you actually connect the wrist band to your PC or to another earthed object?

by Guest Wed 18 Sep 2013, 00:11

Erm ye right. That thingie on the arm looks cool. But eBay is out of question. Since the transport fee is high for Sweden so usually it becomes more expensive. I can check here though. But i think i will go on the poor solution Cool

You can attach it to the bare metal of the tower as long as the tower is plugged in. Not powered on, just plugged in. Any other earth grounded surface will work as well though.

Hello,

I usually search for "Price + Shipping: lowest first". That way you'll usually get Chinese offers, who will ship for free. (Even if you buy something that costs less than $1!)
But delivery can take up to a month, lol.

I see, thank you for letting me know. Just wanted to be sure.

by Guest Thu 19 Sep 2013, 09:14

True. But lately i bought a lot of things from china and here we got extra fees Facepalm

so i think i can avoid it for the moment. But i will check the prices here now that i have free weekend

//EDIT

Hello again!
I have order all the parts and im waiting to get them in the next few days.
Question! Do you know where i can find a good version for windows 7 ultimate x64 that i can burn it to a dvd? If i remember your copy is not for a fresh new computer with out windows inside. Or i am wrong?

by **Admin** Thu 26 Sep 2013, 20:52

Hello,

I haven't tested, but try the torrent on TPB with the most seeders: "Windows 7 Ultimate 32/64-bit RemoveWAT Included!"

I am actually using it, and I can't complain. Especially the "RemoveWAT" is excellent, not only because it actually works, but also because it is very simple to use.

What it does, as the name says, is to basically remove the activation prompt. Now, when you use it the first time, you will have to open it and choose "Remove WAT", and after a while you will be prompted to re-boot. And then you're good. Smile

And you can safely update your Windows 7 and pass any "genuine checks" (at least I don't get any problems with that). Now the really good thing is this: should an update "restore" the activation module of Windows, you can just re-run the application. My version of RemoveWAT is still from 2010, but the following worked for me - do it like this:

Open it and choose "Restore (!) WAT", this will basically overwrite the existing activation module. Re-boot the computer, and afterwards open again. This time choose "Remove WAT". Et voilà - that should do. I just sucessfully did this a few months ago.

Good luck !

I want to thank all of you!!! I manage to fix my new computer yesterday and it works lovely!!!!!!!!

Hand some terrible time with the water cooler but i manage to fix it with some instructions on the internet lol!

.
The manual book that had in wasn't so much helpful even with the pictures on it.
But im happy how it works Smile

Thank you again for all your help!

About the windows Carlos i didn't had to do anything with the "RemoveWat" i install it all ok, the only problem was that i couldn't see the partitions i create but as i notice later on i didn't format them when i made them , but wasn't a problem since i manage to do it later on with out re install the windows. So everything went fine. So thank you again!!!

(Hope i could say the same for the sims but well anyway you will have to deal with my problem again on the in-game problem) Facepalm

ohh god.

//EDIT

Hmmm didn't really had to do anything with the "RemoveWat" but well, the installation went ok with out problems except the fact i can't see the one partition in the first place, but i just notice that when i create it i didn't forma it. So i did it after it and now is all ok Smile

. Updates and all going fine.

by **Admin** Thu 03 Oct 2013, 18:06

Hi there,

You're very welcome. Glad we could lend a hand!

Anyway, you might want to use the RemoveWAT anyway. It can prevent possible issues with Windows Update in the near future. (!)

by Guest Thu 03 Oct 2013, 19:26

And last , what do you think of that water cooler?
Cooler Master Seidon 120M CPU Kylare 775/1150/1155/1156/1366/2011, AM2(+)/AM3(+)/FM1, 600~2400 RPM, 19.17~86.15 CFM

Well exept that it took me time to understand how to put it? Well i think is cool!! Like the name is very quiet (natural) and it does a lot of work o.o i have turn on the catalyst controller to see the temperature and is amazing! Even if i do many things at the same time is not going above 45c compare with my laptop that doing the same work was 65+ c.
Also the cooler pipe is thicker than i expected since is my first time seen water cooler system!!Im very happy with it Smile

I will try to read about it and search for it since im very scared to try things that i don't really understand lol!

Hi there,

I don't know much about water coolers, unfortunately, but I do know that Cooler Master is usually a great choice! (Especially when it comes to cooling, lol Facepalm

- Oh, and their PSUs are recommendable too)

As for the RemoveWAT, ah, if it was not included with the torrent, then it was probably a pre-activated version.
