Time to get back into the game, and fix a broken rig!

stinger608 · Oct 8, 2017

We really need this up top........

Norton · Oct 9, 2017

UPDATE!!!

Here are some pics of the build :cool:

*apologies for quality of some of the pics, need to get a better camera :banghead:

Everything went together very nicely- the Scythe cooler is massive but super easy to install and the Fractal case is a joy to work in.... highly recommend both to fellow TPU members!

UP NEXT....
Tie up some loose ends, like put TIM on the CPU (forgot to bring some :oops:

) and install the software.

Norton · Oct 11, 2017

UPDATE!!!

It's alive!

Windows 10 Pro is installed and activated, still need to get all of the drivers installed and updated... should be ready to go by the weekend!

flmatter · Oct 11, 2017

Looking spectacular! I am jelly of what my daughter is about to receive. I can not begin to express the gratitude I have for this awesome community. Thank you very much folks!!!

Here's a cpuz screenshot (cpu at stock clocks, memory at 2400):

Pretty nice for a $109 cpu! :cool:

With a minor overclock it should be able to match a 4670/4690k

Does that case have a solid top? I'm looking for something to build a small-ish portable VR system, either ITX or micro ATX (I have a board that is just barely longer than ITX) that I can mount some handles on the top. I love my fractal case, so I'd definitely look into one of these if it were small enough.

Kreij Memorial Holiday 2017 build and giveaway launching tonight... tomorrow at the latest

Standby for more details

lyndonguitar · Nov 26, 2017

just an update guys, I know it took so long but the A10-7850k + mobo + 8GB Ram that I won finally arrived in the Philippines, First I shipped it to my friend living in the US(to avoid expensive taxes and customs) and he then returned this nov and left it in their PH home recently before going back to the US(we didn't get the chance to meet, he was only here 3 days) . His relatives at home will then give it to a mutual friend and he'll give it to me one of these days. one hell of an adventure for the components. I'll have it and build it in a few weeks I guess

Thanks again!
