Operation Quick Fix

[Guest]

So my motherboard has gone a bit dodgy and no longer accepts more than 1 stick of RAM without failing miserably, as it stands it fails with 1 stick most of the time, so I had to RMA it and set up a bit of a temporary solution in the meantime, I apologies for the terrible photo quality, my phone is supposed to have a great camera (like most phones) but (like most phones) its actually rubbish.

 

So here is my temporary build with a M-ATX motherboard (placeholding until I get a new one) I have also had to remove a graphics card due to the fact the slot to plug it in was not physically available.

 

ASUS Maximus V Gene

Intel Core I7 3770

Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 4x4GB sticks (completely overkill I barely use 8GB but hey, the lights look cool!)

Corsair H80I with a failed LED that don't work no more :(

XFX HD7970 (should be two but other one will sit in box until I get new motherboard)

Killer 2100 (old motherboard had REALLY bad onboard lan and this was cheap and out-performed onboard by quite a lot, I realize with this motherboard the Intel LAN is probably as good)

Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty Champion

Enermax Revolution87+ 1000W PSU

Various HDDs, SSDs, and Hybrid Drives.

Fans are as follows: Front - Bitfenix Spectre Red LED 200mm, Top - Enermax 120mm T.B Apollish Red LED, Rear/Rad - Silverstone Air Penetrator 120mm Red LED

 

In Progress of build with M-ATX Motherboard

 

Everything installed, just need the finishing touches and some rubbish but suitable for now cable management.

 

Rubbish photo which made my camera struggle even more than usual thanks to the lights.

Its a nice little board if thats what you want, if you want a big gaming PC with two graphics cards etc I don't think its the best option mainly because of the slot layout and me not being keen on multi GPU setups having no spacing in between them, aside from that though I really like it, onbaord LAN is pretty outstanding the onboard audio is good enough to warrant not needing a soundcard unless your super fussy about audio quality.

Yeah man, I've only got a Micro ATX case, and will not be CF/SLI'ing or anything. . .  Kool :) thanks
