My first post on my new PC!
So my power supply on the old PC blew, zapped and caused a noise, and I decided that it was about time I got a new one. It had lasted me 7 years, overclocked for all of that and had about 14000 hours on it. She had a good innings.
So, on to the juicy stuff!
Photo notes:
- Look at the image of the RAM. They came together in a mess, squished together. I was worried that they wouldnt work. Although, I haven’t properly Memtested them yet.
- Look at the last image of Win 7. 8 Cores of yummyness. (I didn’t get it either, but 4 cores, 2 hyperthreads per core, windows sees it as 8 cores.
- Took ages to get windows installed, because Win 7 wouldn’t install the graphics card properly and always BSOD’ed. Had to install vista then install Win 7 over the top.
- First time I turned it on, I hadn’t seated the heatsink correctly. CPU temp was 84C! Ouch!
