My Vanquish 4 Level 4, First Impressions + Pics

My new system arrived safely today (January 21, 2016) via UPS. 

Only two slight hiccups: The front USB ports were not working, but that was fixed when I plugged the cable back into the motherboard - must have come loose during shipment. The same thing happened to the internal LED control cable - plugged it back in and the internal RGB LED lights work.

Loaded some apps and games and everything is running great and fast.  From power off to fully running Windows 10 takes less than 30 seconds - love the new SSD drive for loading the OS and apps quickly.

Here are the spec's on my particular Vanquish 4 Level 4:

    Case: Grey Corsair 230T with Window
    CPU: i5 6600K
    CPU HSF: Zalman CNPS8000B
    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P
    Graphics Card: EVGA GTX980 FTW
    RAM: Adata XPG 16GB (2x8)
    Power Supply: EVGA Supernova NEX750B

Now take a look....

Big 45 pound box



Box containing all the extra cables, paperwork, manuals, etc



The box has an air filled cushion on the the top and bottom to protect the case which is enclosed in a plastic bag



Looking good



Foam padding that protects the innards which needs to be removed before use



Back connectors



Gigabyte motherboard in my system



Low profile Zalman HSF



Adata RAM



EVGA GTX980 FTW graphics card






EVGA Power Supply



Note the empty USB header - cable needed to be plugged back in which is not surprising since there is nothing holding it in place - no clips or catches



Overall interior



Powered on for the first time



GTX980 lights up, but note no interior LED case lights



Front USB cable plugged back in next to RAM



Power cable plugged back into RGB LED control

So, I guess I didn't get the EVGA GTX 980 FTW card. The hunt for what card I received con't. Also, congrats on the system and hope you enjoy. 

Nice! Looking to get a Level 3 after I get my tax refund!
