Thanks mechBgon for your PC building guide! It helped me a lot in my first build today. It went flawlessly aside from some minor troubles because of stupidity, seriously I can't count how many times I cut my index finger on my left hand. 😛 Thanks for a great guide! :beer:
 
There's nothing wrong with showing gratitude publicly. Especially in this case, mech put a lot of work into that guide.

I'm sure many people have used it, so I kind of speak for all of them. Sorry. 😛
 
Yep, Private message. But this thread is ok.

I am a bit of a PC Building and troubleshooting guru myself. But I find it handy as a refrence when helping others, I just give them mech's link and they tell me it works well for them.

Now I have gone thru 4 nice rigs, and am now up to a sweet sli rig.

Thanks to all that take the time for the n00bs.

Right, so where's my pizza then?! 😛

Wait, here we go, AnandTech Moderator's got me all taken care of: snacks!

Hmm, what else does she use that leash for... :Q


edit: seriously, glad the guide was useful. Next time I update the first page, I will include Band-Aids in the tools/equipment list 😀
 
Doh now I have probs. >< It's shutting down on it's own when I play WC3. Core Center is going bonkers when I have it open but reports low temps. What is going on?

What are the full specs including brand & model of PSU, and what is Core Center indicating as a problem? CPU fan is running? Got the automatic CoreCell overclocking disabled?

It seems fixed now. I uninstalled Core Center and now it doesn't crash anymore.

That's good news, post back if it freaks out again though 🙂

 
Yeah great guide! I haven't built a computer yet but I've used the guide when applying thermal paste to two different processors.

:thumbsup:

Yep. I've referred riends to Mech's guide before; it's well written. He's also one who focuses on the problem\solution and responds with just the facts. No fluff or attitude. :beer:
