Trevnor's Gaming Rig Update

Yes, yes I did

 

In process of building. Will upload pics when complete

 

Bad news bears... The liquid cooler I got doesn't fit on the rear exhaust fan mounts. It's like 1 fucking mm to long. Top of it is solidly against the top of the case, and I can manage to get the bottom two screws in, but it leans slightly out

 

So... I guess I'm going stock cooler for the time being, and I'll have to figure out this shit another day
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck

I'm done.

 

Wellllll fuuuuuuuuuccccck
I can get the mounting bracket out. I used a screwdriver with a socket head to tighten, and two of mounting bracket stand offs(which connect the cooling block to the processor), well they 'clicked'. Best way I can describe it. Now they aren't unthreading from the mounting bracket.

 

Yeah, I give up. Taking it to NCIX or something(if they build or not). Probably just get a single 120 mm fan Liquid cooler, or a 200mm if they make 'em. Hope I can return this 240mm one.

 

Yay, no gaming for a week(at least)!

 

Done and done.

 

Okay, got the tower back. Unfortunately, I now have to find someone to buy the cooler, as I can't return it with a broken Intel Mobo mount. So I'll have to try and sell it to someone that uses AMD. Aside from that, I've decided, in lieu of this clusterfuck of a build, to go with nice air cooling. Bought a "bequiet" cooler, (it's rather large, hope it fits, if not, I can take it to the store in person after a short bus ride), and a 120 mm fan for the internal mount, to make a fan tunnel off of the top most HDD cage. Going to try and get all the cables connected and managed tonight, and then installing the extra fan and cooler on top of that, maybe. Should be up and running by sometime tomorrow, hopefully.(I hope I didn't fry anything during the build, but I made sure I was grounded)

 

I got this one

 

Sorry for the shitty image quality, I only have a older cell camera.
