Need help on my first build - Page 3

If you have the money, learn everything. Don't wait to watercool. If you plan to do it, do it now .

In your case I would learn this

-How to build a PC
-How to build a watercooled PC
-Overclock the hell of your watercooled system.

This will be an awsome rig when it will be finished.


I'll be here the whole thread

Yeah thats what I'm trying to do, it seems to be pretty easy to overclock the CPU on the RIVE though. Still learning.

Edit: Oh and thanks to everyone whos posting videos and tutorials. I am looking at them smile.gif.

That's quite a beast for a first build, nice. I'm not one to tell you to save your money, God knows my picture is next to "impulsive" in the dictionary.

Hopefully my spring project will be a custom loop too, so good luck with it. smile.gif

Dude! LINUS, watch almost all of that guys videos. I really don't need help much on watercooling, just on how to put a block on a video card (which he doesn't show cause he has a prebuilt one frown.gif ). The main stuff I need help on is wiring, overclocking, and software stuff such as BIOS and installing an OS.

You really don't need the help, that's the point. I've built quite a few systems and hell, on the last one I ran into the most ridiculous "issue". Easily fixed. As others said, most things only fit one way and your MB manual (maybe a wrist strap too, never had one! biggrin.gif) is your best friend during the installation.

As for overclocking, this forum and others right here on OCN can guide you. If you do run into a problem, ask and there's plenty of people willing to help.

Besides, you're taking all the fun out of it if you know >everything< before you start, right? smile.gif

So it seems that I will not have enough room to put fans at the top of the case because of the 400 mm reservoir (why don't they make them in 350!). So I was wondering if it would be bad for my front/second radiator to blow into the case without the top fans. I think the air should be cool enough since the water goes through the side/first radiator, but I want your opinions
