Re: Fractal design 1000 & Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro CPU

Re: Fractal design 1000 & Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro CPU
Calling it a night now.
Just need to connect all the power cables. Sort the wires. Then boot.
Been a heck of a experience so far.
Made a few mistakes. Weather the pc boots or not is another thing

Re: Fractal design 1000 & Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro CPU
I can't seem to fit my power cable into my HDD
Non of the cables that came with my psu seem to fit
Am I just going mad or doing something wrong?
I have a Seagate barracuda 500gb hd (sata 3)
And SAta 2 mb

Re: Fractal design 1000 & Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro CPU
Very slow BUT Progress so Far.
Watching a few video's making sure i install things correctly.
So far the side fan & the I/O Shield & the CPU have been installed.
I think slow and steady is certainly the way to go on your first time Shall update soon with some pictures also : P

Re: Fractal design 1000 & Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro CPU
think my dvd drive is sata three also
so does that mean neither my hd or dvd drive are compatable with that motherboard?

Would this support Windows XP 64/Pro. & my Seagate HDD?

If it does then for my budget this will probably be my best bet.
