Hello
Like I have admitted its nearly 20 years since iv built a system. Back then I used to build 1 or 2 a week. But they was Old hat and nothing like we have now days I mean they was only just starting to bring in the black 20/24 pin power plug also the CPU speed and X-times for over clocking was done pyisically on the board itself via dip switches or header pins.
So before I start I would like to ask a couple basic and most possibly stupid questions..
FIRST as the cooler is a lot larger and my hands are on the large side Is it best to build the M/B CPU and cooler up Before its installed in the case or install it in the case then build all the parts onto/into the it?
SECOND I mentioned the ATX 20/24 pin header for power but there is also the ATX-12v-2x4 as well are they both used. By that I mean do you have leads plugged into both of the sockets the 20/24 and either a single 4 or all 8 into the 12-2x4 plugs?? (Only I have 650W Thermaltake SMART DPS G Digital PSU)
THIRD Iv read lots of questions from people who have built their systems and built to the end only for it not to start. So then its strip down and start in trouble shooting mode. Again is it best to start with the minimal amount of parts to see if you can get it to post the bios and build up from there Or as others have done build it fully?,
FORTH but not really a question. So If everything should go OK and the M/C will post to the Bios screen. Which it should even if things need to be changed in the bios Like a fall back Bios that just gets u up and running? So that it wont fall over or keep rebooting or the such.
Iv already been told that I will have to make changes the XMP for my sys to rum smoothly with the ram I have which is 32Gb of HyperX Savage 4x8Gb I have which Iv been reading up on and looks as thougth the XMP is disabled at intial start up so will need changing from the 1600 and 1.55v to 2400and 1.6v of my ram. So I think from what iv read thats what I have to change in the Advanced Memory Systems.
There seams so much that you can alter in the bios now unlike back then when you possibly has around 20 items you could alter But now Its just the getting back into working around the new systems and finding out what they do or can do LOL.
Thank you in advance But please dont take the fun out of a OLD guy please LOL
Regards OS
