    Just built a new Haswell tonight Ham


    Wow lol i5-4590 , Gigabyte H97 HD3 with cheap Kingston Fury ram

    Pound for pound sticks it to my 2500K@4.5Ghz ! in lightness and zap , ran same 3DMarks at 500MHz less. Cool

    Also as suggested by poster it does not need a cooler runs good with decent ambient temperature.


    Runs latest shooters with a GTX460 SOC very nicely, looking at the averages rF2 would stack up well imo.

    Also when I was doing a compatibility check (i know u said they were compatible but id like to check), i couldnt find whether the graphics card i chose is compatible with the motherboard i chose and whether the psu is compatible with the motherboard and the case. Are they compatible and if so, can i please have a screenshot from the site u found saying they were compatible :)

    The Ethernet port is on the motherboard and it will stick out the back of the case.
    The GPU connects to a PCIe slot, which your motherboard has.
    The PSU is standard and will fit in the case and connect to the motherboard with the wires provided.
    This is the screenshot confirming all is good:

    The graphics card uses a standard slot (PCI Express 3.0 x16) that you'll find on the vast majority of motherboards, including the one you listed (don't worry, I checked here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132118 ). ATX power supplies are VERY standard. They will fit in your case, not to worry. Motherboard same thing. The adapters are the most standard thing.

    I have now ordered the components for this PC having checked their compatible, so next task regarding this is building it ;)
     
  9. Before you touch, unpack anything or start building your system.

    I have a question for you, do you or have you every got or had a electric static shock form a car or at home ?

    Some people are statically charged (like me) so I use a Anti Static Wrist Strap to ground myself when ever I work on any pc.
    As you can damage your ram and some circuit boards by just touching it.

    So its always best to ground yourself first, go to maplins and buy a cheap tool kit and a anti static wrist strap just to be on the safe side.

    Touching the case is not enough for you?
     
  11. I knew someone was going to comment on that, I thought it was going to be durge though!

    I have been building computers and servers for over twenty years, I was installing win 95 when it was only available on 26 floppy discs.

    I have always used a static strap and always will, even when unpacking hardware to installing it. I have seen someone get a spark from just taking a graphics card out of its wrapper.

    Like I said I am a "statically charged person" so NO just touching the case is not enough for me. :mad:

    Is there a medical explanation? Or maybe you wear carpet inside your shoes? xD

    Will probably do that, spent a lot of money so don't want it to go to waste
     
  14. Good for you mate, its best to have a set of your own tools for the pc, mine I bought nearly 22 years ago and they are still in good condition :)

    Your very funny, my sides are splitting.
    I probably get statically charged through reading wronkers comments all the time.

    lmao


    I never wore a static band in my life, built 100s.

    For mine they are more a nuisance.

    Wear cotton clothes and socks ( track pants and footy socks )

    Main thing is hold all boards and components by the edges don't go touching anything just because you have a wrist strap on.

  16. I guess this just shows how much care people take when building other peoples machines.

    I have worked in places where it is mandatory to wear them. I build every pc as if it was my own and I take pride in making sure that everything is covered.
    But I guess its each to there own.

    Don't suggest I do not care or have no pride in my work please ........




    You wear wool or cotton and short yourself out on PSU and case.

    I have seen a rookie with a wrist strap get it caught on a heatsink and tear it straight off.

    I have also seen people at College catch hardrives and things on table and drop them on the floor or walk away from bench still connected

    If you use a wrist strap be careful.

    If you're not working in an airtight room, you're being careless.

    1. Wool , cotton , hairless clothes and socks ( no baggy sleeves to catch a motherboard capacitor on :p )

    2. Solid hard table , good desk light preferably adjustable arm with magnifier.

    3. 100% Rubber / Wool floor covering / mat to work on

    4. Power extension with surge protector.

    5. Anti static strap

    6. Long handled screwdriver, hardened head and yes magnetic lol

    another fallacy people portray for 20 years in forums is you will damage components, utter crap if used "properly".
    But it may save you dropping a screw into a cooler or PSU ( seen that happen more then once ) .


    If you buy a driver make sure it is a decent thickness ( how hard and sharp the tip is more important )
    Later if you have to put in a new case fan ( they can be very tight to get started ) a thicker screwdriver makes that easy work.

    7. Long handled stand driver to easy insert stands and nip them up correct. *** really only needed if you do many builds.

    A common mistake rookies make is to screw the stands in by hand or with a boogied tool , tighten the motherboards screws more with driver, then when
    they go to remove the board for something they forgot they screw a stand out of the motherboard.


    8. Small bowl for screws ( don't leave them laying all over the table. )

  20. I have no idea what the hell you two are talking about any more, I am 40 and I have never heard soo much BS in my life.

    I am sorry but this conversation is going no where fast and has no real point any more.

    You both had made your point and it is each to there own, so good for you two.
