ok so i got the psu and cpy cooler today. now it wont detect the harddrive.
the psu was 115 i flipped it to 230 if that's important. i tried all the sata ports an nothing the dvd does read so i duno what to do and the front fans wont turn on either.

If you live in NA, which, if you are ordering from newegg, flipping that red switch to 220 will almost always fry an entire system.... especially when going backwards, everyone uses 110/115 in America/canada, other countries use 220.

ohhh crap the only thing it dosent see is the hard drive ill try with 115 see what happens

hey guys is i got a bit curius and ran speedfan and i found something odd on the readings.
everything seems to be running nice and cool but there is 2 temps that i have no clue what they are and are on 120+ degress.
the case is very cool to the touch the air blowing out the back is cool. so i dont see were it could be over heating i mean it has 3 more fans than it did before.
could be some false readings but im not sure i like your take on it. no adnormal behavior from from pc also.

here print screen of speedfan reads.

the ram is ddr2 not ddr btw lol.

Ignore those two they can only be false readings. Put you hand in and feel the air temperature around the components, if you burn your hand you have a problem lol

 

[Drogos]

nope nothing burns to the touch so is all good thank god lol thanks again
