Finished my build, kinda. The PSU i ordered doesn't actually release for another week or so, so i just put my old TX750 in for the time being.
Few of the things that are making me a bit worried are as follows:
HDD makes a little noise. Not an overall lot, but i can hear it when its loading a game ect. It is a 7200rpm WD 1TB. The last HDD i had never made noise, but it was a lot smaller and 5400rpm i believe. Is it normal for a 1TB HDD to make a little noise and quiet clicking sounds?
Corsair H-50. my cpu (i7-930) is idling at around 35-38 degrees at stock voltage/speed. I am going to pick up 2 solid 120mm fans for it tomorrow, but even for the stock fan that seems a bit high, no? I also have it set up to blow air out the back of my case right now, should i be switching it to intake air from that back slot? I got the HAF X case so i am thinking the air will be vented out one of the 2 top 200mm fans before it gets the chance to heat anything up.
MY GPU is louder than my window AC unit.....I have got to put watercooling on it or get a $5000 stereo. I live in Canada, and the only place (reputable place) i have found to get water-cooling parts is NCIX. Not the best selection for blocks/pumps/rads/ect. Anyone know where a canuk can get some watercooling parts without waiting 6 weeks or paying duty or paying $150 for shipping or ect.
