    Raging about recent Mobos I've purchased

    Sigh it just donned on me. A few days before I hooked up my WC loop I switched PSUs. That also happened to be the first PSU I hooked up.

    Raging about recent Mobos I've purchased

    Well by exact same problem I should define that - it wont POST. Also my E760 worked when I got it and degraded quickly while overclocking which eventually wouldn't POST. While this one wouldn't POST out of the box.

    Raging about recent Mobos I've purchased

    I feel like you are severely underestimating my proficiency with hardware. Yes the only part I do not have to switch out is any DDR3 RAM other than my CMT6GX3M3A1600C6. I tested them in my buddies rig after my e760 died when I was checking for hardware failure ( I checked all my other parts)...

    Fan Controller help.

    What good is only having an RPM sensor on a 66Db fan... Anyway I am notorious for jury rigging my computer to get it working for builds, but I don't think I am going to try any of the smart ideas that popped into my head this time. Just going to go grab some decent fans and order one of those...

    Fan Controller help.

    its 1 wire into a 3-pin and 2 wires into a 4-pin molex. I've tried not even connecting the 3-pin and it still turns on with only the 2-pins in a 4-pin molex.

    Fan Controller help.

    I think he was referring to the Lamptron FC3. But yes I do have a huge grin on my face when I turn on these fans - speaking of which i'm gonna go do that right now. I should also mention each fan says 4.8 Amps

    Fan Controller help.

    Well the controller has an audible click off and feels well made - even the LED adjusts brightness with the position of the knob. I tried different molex connectors on the PSU and all resulted in the fan turning on even if the controller was off, on, or then 3-pin wasn't even connected. Also...

    Fan Controller help.

    So I have been building a new system and needed some decent fans so I bought two Delta PFB1212UHEs for my double rad. I got a Lamptron FC3..which can only supply 30W per channel, but I have read that some people have lower watt fan controllers that just cant run them at max RPM. First is my...

    New build POST issue.

    Yes I require the next bios version for my computer to even boot lol. The sad thing is both my old computer and my friends are running AMD. My last response from EVGA was that they are sending me a new chip. So 1 more week before I can use my computer >_<

    New build POST issue.

    This mobo has a built in LCD to show CPU temp on it...even a reset cmos button and power on/off....it turns out that 68 i've been seeing is a boot error. I feel really stupid because all I had to do was google the right words (the words being EVGA x58 and 980x). I eventually found out that my...

    Have to hit F1 key for it to boot up

    I have a bios made by american megatrends too, the F1 option shows if something fails, like for me I have liquid cooling on my cpu and plugged a light into the PWM connection- so I have to disable the temp/fan readings for that so it doesn't pop up like that.

    it sounds like you did not reapply the thermal compund correctly. Watch some videos online and read up about that. Also do not use any compunds that come with coolers unless it is a real brand- like artic silver. Also make sure that it is on TIGHT it shouldn't be able to move w/o moving the mobo...
