Just got my computer in yesterday and finally got everything hooked up pretty excited!
Again, here's my specs P8P67 Deluxe i7 2600k 3.4 ghz 8GB DS Ram MSI GTX 580 Noctua 12 1gb Caviar 1200AX Corsair HAF X Alright so here's some questions; When you get the computer is the side fan never connected? Mine wasn't.. if so I'm curious how they "stress tested" it without this fan hooked up. (it was still tied up in tie wrap as if never undone) I had to pull out the bottom 3 HDD brackets and at the very back was a female end of the similar 4 prong plug which I had to pull out with some force because it was behind a panel and connected it to that and it's finally up and running now. I looked through the binder and it didn't mention me having to do this upon receipt. On the case (HAF X) there's a "fan led" button What does that do? Because no led's turn on when I press/depress it unless I had to specify that to DS to do that or I'm suppose to connect that myself as well (order a LED fan and have them hook it up) How do you check your overclock speed? I didn't get a spec sheet with the oc numbers like some of you guys posted. When I do msinfo32 (start menu) it just says 3.4ghz. Do I have to download another program to see the actual clock speed? Last, is there a guide for "new computer to do list" so I wont have to ask these questions haha.. Thanks in advance! |

for some guides look here.
to see your oc speed use CPU-z, and put the pc under load/stress, then check the speed. the side fan and something might be disconnected so that it survives shipping better, also in shipping somethings get loose. the haf x has a 230mm front red lef fan, that button should turn the led on and off on that fan. |
