    Case fans not working

    probably not lol, is there a port to put it in on the psu then? all i have done is put the side fan into the wire coming down from the front panel, is that not all of it? couldnt see anything more than that. Not sure what a molex is either, is it the connecters with 4 small round holes inside...

    CPU cooler backplate

    Hi all. I bought the Alpenfohn brocken cpu cooling fan on recommendation here for my first pc which is up and running. I have found the backplate that goes on the back of the mobo doesnt quite fit, the holes are just a bit out of reach (too short). My mobo is the z77 d3h and has a LGA1155...

    new HHD problem

    Ok cool, how do i do that? I only know of the disc management part and that no longer works. Also dont know if it matters now but as for the ram, tried both sticks individually and were fine, the beeping stopped only when i removed the HDD again.
