I disabled OC, and found the problem. The animal that installed the proc put the thermometer between the CPU and the sink, not on the sink. The paste was burnt to crisp. I've claned it and currently applying new thermal paste.

Wow I have never head of somebody doing that, the thermal probe should go in between the fins for the best temps.


Also for paste Artic Silver is hands down the best, I hope you use something like that.

I use a national thermal paste which is used by government servers so I assume it's good because they like to stream soccer at 2k.

So I'm going to save up for my first build, how's this? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/s9zr99

not sure if keyboards are in another league from computers in this thread but regardless i just ordered up a unicomp ultra classic

the million dollar question is how long is it going to take before people yell at me for the typing noise

what do you mean, are you saying i cant fit a a piece of toast in a breadbox?

if that's the only thing I'm gonna be putting in the breadbox for a few years, i'll probably get a pretty damn small breadbox. it's a waste of space to go with a mid atx case when you're getting a mini itx motherboard. not my call but I would get a smaller mITX case with that motherboard

[Kyuande]

What's wrong with a mid ATX case? It's looks fine to me

why would you constrict yourself like that

[communistsquared]

why would you constrict yourself like that

you're constricting yourself with a smaller motherboard anyways

What's wrong with a mid ATX case? It's looks fine to me

it's up to you I guess but if I had the option to make a computer smaller (since I'm already getting a mITX motherboard) I'd probably do it

a mid ATX case offers absolutely no advantage over mini ITX case if your motherboard is mini ITX. it's just plain out bigger and heavier any you limited your upgrade options anyways by using a mini ITX motherboard

Bought a Fractal Core 2500 (max CPU height 262 mm) and I own a 212 EVO cooler (259 mm) so that's 3 mm between the case and the cooler - any chance I forgeted up?

Tho.
