Hi all,

Well I finally got all the parts for my TJ08 build, but have encountered an issue, maybe you have seen itbefore and could help, I'm a bit mystified on these and am running out of ideas.


CPU: 3570k
Mobo: ASUS Maximus Gene V (Z77) Flashed BIOS yesterday
RAM: 16GB (4x4) Samsung Green 1600Mhz 30nm Low Voltage/Profile
HSF: Noctua NH-D14
PSU: 750W Silverstone

All stock settings so far.

When I power on, the system seems to intermittently boot up. When it does boot up, it is fine, and stable for whatever im doing, tried a bit of diablo 3, cod etc, no problem, and restarts are fine. All components are picked up seem to work fine. Temps are low, 25-30c idle on all cores, not gone above 50c yet on load.

When I shut down though, sometimes I'll press the power on again, and literally, the PWR LED on the front of the case blinks for a second, and I can see all the fans start to spin up also just for about a second, then nothing. Sometimes it does not even do this. I don't get an error code displayed on the boards readout, or any beeps etc. I have to take the plug out the psu, give it a min, then plug back in, even then sometimes it wont come back on right away, but this morning for example, put the plug in, pressed it once hey presto, all fine.

I have tried:

Taking out the graphics card (old 6870) and running off the HD4000 graphics, same issue.
Clearing CMOS, full power off for 10-15 mins.
Reseating the memory.
Unplugging basically everything I can.
I rebuilt it in the case about 3 times, thinking there must be a short with one of the mobo screws or something, but still getting the issue.

Has anyone seen this before? The only thing I have not yet done is take out some of the RAM, can this be causing it? PSU is if anything overspecced for what I have in the box, and ive tried to just about everything I can think of. I dont even know what part of the system is likely to cause this so am at a bit of a loss. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

it`s too hard to build such rig in russia

I had this problem and sort of lived with it, then updated the bios to 0813 and it strangely disappeared. Tried disabling C3 and C6 power states and PLL Overvoltage?

Hi! Im new to this forum and a new owner of this great case! Side scheduled for modding!

Hi, thanks

Yeah I am on version 0813 now. Out of the 3 shutdowns I did yesterday, 2 of the power ons were fine, but then last night it started playing up again. It's bizarre, I'd expect if there was a problem for it to just not work at all. It's as if its trying to start, but something is stopping it, but then also, I can also spam the power button for like 30 seconds, and get nothing at all.

I have not tried these as yet, Ive left all the bios default so far. Not sure where to go for the power states, are they a bios option?

Thanks,

Guys, can someone please confirm that this case has native mounting holes for 120mm or 140mm front fan?

I'm thinking of getting this case, but I have few concerns that I'd like to ask.
First, can you fit 1x SSD and 2x HDD in the case without Hard drive cage, if yes then how?
Second, I'm currently using Antec Kühler 620, so how this will affect to case's temperature if put in push/pull configuration?
Third, can you fit SLI/Crossfire GPU's without any temperature problems?
Thanks in advance.

Just finished my build, I picked out this case because I wanted to build a mATX case with clean looks but powerful air flow. I find the case versatile and came up with a lot of idea's reading all 200 pages of the Owners Club. I think Silverstone cut the corner with the thickness of the material, I think the sheet metal is to thin. But because I use noise absorbing sheet material to fill the large surfaces there should be no problem with vibration. I have the fan of the power supply facing down so it can help draw hot air out of the case from the video card so I filled up the gap on top with black material

I immediately exchanged the 18cm case fan for the Silverstone FM181. But this one still made a little bit to much noise. So I used a Zalman Fan Mate 2 to dial down the RPM and now I'm happy with the noise. I removed the drive case because I don't have a need for it. My SSD is at the back of the removable tray and for the HDD I used a Nexus DiskTwin to mount the HDD in the lowest of the 2 5inch bays. The top bay I used as cable store for all the exes cable.

Because I choose the Thermal Right Silver Arrow as a CPU cooler I ran in to 3 problems. The first was that the two 14cm fans supplied with the CPU cooler where sticking out of the case, so I exchanged them for two 12cm Nexus fans. The other problem was that the cooler was so wide that it came in contact with my video card with danger of short circuiting. I cut out a piece of thin plastic and wedged it between the CPU cooler and my video card. Because its such a snug fit I don't have to attach the plastic spacer to either the cooler or video card. The 3th problem I had was the kickstand for the CPU cooler. Because of the off center twin tower design of the Silver Arrow the kick stand was to small to support the cooler. Although probably not really needed I mounted a small peace of thin metal sheet on top of the kick stand with dual sided tape. So now I'm a bit more secure when moving the case to LAN-party's.

I managed to clean up all excess cabling to let the case do its air flow thing and finally put 2 tattoo decals on the sides to mod the case just that littele bit and make it my own unique case.




Cheers.
