really? for £6 they will replace the whole unit?...

That's the way it's worded, it may only be a refurnished one you get though. I payed about £15 or so for it as I ordered a lot, so you can see why they'd offer it.

If anything breaks on instillation I just RMA it...

which is free

I think it sort of fast-forwards you in the RMA process.

EDIT: Just ran an hour Prime95 stress test of In-place Large FFTS (Says that is the max heat one) and haven't gone above 60C

. The TRUE and S-Flex will do you perfectly on a 45nm chip, even with a lolGhz OC.

I knew there would be a problem, turns out my modular PSU does not have an 8 pin ATX cable necessary for the CPU, what can I do here?

EDIT: My PSU is a Zalman 600HP, it claims you can combine two 4 pin ATX cables to make an 8 pin but the motherboard manual says only to use an 8 pin connector and one of the four pin connectors looks different from the other one, all the pins are the same shape so I'm not sure.

well try it, if you fail you have the Insurance to back you up, plus the Zalman manual said to do it

I know that PSU to motherboard configs are usually pretty compatible, in their weird kind of way, but ive never encountered it, so have no bearing to really comment completely.

OK so I've connected everything up and I plugged in the power, turned it on and hit the on button, nothing. Also the motherboard's standby power LED is off, wondering what to do now.

EDIT: The PSU fan doesn't seem to come on even when the only thing connected is the motherboard, I'm not sure what this means.

Jedimushroom · 07-15-2009, 03:20 PM

Don't worry, I think I have solved the problem.

I'm pretty sure I have, judging by the fact I am writing this from my new computer

Congrats. Enjoy having the latest hardware.

By the time you read this, it's gone out of date

. (Sad truth of technology)

Anyway, enjoy the freshness and I hope that the system lives up to expectations
