My first attempt at a build, motherboard, 3 GPU's, SSD and Power unit were given to me and I have added from there. Mature student on a very tight budget but wanted to put together a gaming rig with possibly some rendering at a future date.
I had intended to crossfire the GPU's but I have heard conflicting opinions on whether it is worth it.
I switched on for first time today, case fans came on and the fan on one GPU but the CPU fan just does a quarter turn every 5 seconds or so then stops.
Now I am a noob and I wasn't sure what to expect but I was so paranoid about the CPU overheating that I switched off again pretty quick. Nothing appeared on the monitor screen either while switched on. Is this a problem or did I not leave it on long enough (probably on or around a minute)?
I am completely learning a new skill here so any suggestions and advice greatly appreciated
Oh dear, how do I add my sig with build on it to bottom of my post?
