Spent $1200 On A Rig, now whut :L

Spent $1200 on a build from new egg, now my case/cooler won't work together even though people here said it would. I don't know if I did half the sht right, probably not. Does new egg take returns on opened items :LLLLLLLLL FML should have just bought a pc from cyberpowerpc but every one said building one is easy :(

Raaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Can't do everything right the first time.

So whats the problem, CPU Cooler doesn't fit or something?

You should have come to me. I would have taken good care of you. ;)

Take it to a computer store to assemble it, won't cost you too much extra.

Don't worry. It is a common error, not that big of a deal. Like someone said before, you could easily modify the case to accept the heat sink. You could also return the item. I believe newegg charges a restocking fee on opened items. Next time double check the measurements. Some coolers these days are enormous, so it is good to get into the habit of double checking the specs.

You could always use the stock cooler to go ahead and build the PC. Replacing the cooler doesn't take anymore than 15 mins when the new one arrives. That is, unless you bought an OEM CPU.

ths is why people here need to get off their high horses. not everyone is capable of building PCs and just want it done for them. people here are so concerned about other peoples money, it's ridiculous.FUBAR24

For STARTERS, post all your parts. Everything from the case, down to the power supply. Elann2008

yes i agree with this and also i doubt your H70 Doesn't fit it should have come with the bracket for your mobo unless the person who helped you out messed up. :?

go to youtube and type in "building pc guide"

lol, use the stock Heat sink and fan, put the aftermarket cooler you purchased back in the box and return it. Then if you want buy something that fits the dimensions of your case later. Your computer will still work 100% fine with the stock parts, getting the stupid aftermarket cooler is only for hardcore folk who overclock the cpu to its utter limits. My cpu is running on the stock heatsink and fan and I overclocked the cpu to 3.33 ghz and the temperature is still only 37 degrees celsius at idle and about 45 at load.

If your offering candy :P

It's not the heat sink it's the radiator, I installed everything including the back plate on the mother board so now I need to take everything out in order to use the stock cpu fan. I was also having some trouble with the psu and some extra plugs on my cpu that where not used so I didn't really know what to do as my mother board isn't labeled very well.

Case - Rosewill cruiser

psu - corsair cwch70 rt

Mb- Asus m4a88td-v evo 880g r

GPU - VGA Sapphire hd6850

Cpu - AMD phenom II X6

HDD - 1TB Samsung hd103sj

Lol, that's some bad placement for the rear 120mm fan. I'm assuming you're hitting the side panel fan when you try to install the radiator? If so, just take the side panel fan off if you really want that H70 working. But it also looks to possibly be blocked by how close it is to the top, which in that case you're SOL :?

don't use any cooling paste yet we'll see if it works firstevildead6789

The cpu you is fine I made sure I installed that correctly, im going to go do what you said. also the connectors for my fans will not connect to the psu connectors even though they look like a exact match. The cooler was a corsair H70 but looks like im returning that and using the stock cooler for now. Also my stock heat sink has pre-apply thermal paste should I wipe it off for this test since I bought a tube of it?

And don't forget to remove the plastic from the bottom of the OEM Heatsink. I think they have the paste pre-applied?

I am surprised, however, that someone recommended water cooling to someone who has never put a PC together :(

Edit: The stock thermal paste should be fine. If you haven't done it before, I would leave it on instead of risking causing too much scraping.

oh with the cooler i mean that iron thing with a fan on it . that iron thing goes on the bottom, the fan on top. You can use the pre-applied paste. Cooling paste is overrated i don't even use it and i play games all the time . The connector for the fan for you stock cooler should be connected with the motherboard not too far from your cpu-socketevildead6789

I mean the case fans.

The PC Guide stickied in this forum will help a lot with heatsink installation I think :)

Don't attach the case fans yet. Besides if you don't live in a overly hot country case fans are worthless. They even use more power and make more noise

Okay, does the stock cooler have a back plate because I have one but I can't remember if it came on the mb or with the stock fan. I think it was already attached to the mb. If I do need it I have to take everything out of the case in order to put it in.

And the back plate for the corsair h70 is still in there so I guess I need to remove everything... :(

what do you mean by back plate. If that other cooler was watercooling it probably came from there. A stock cooler only has a heatsink and a fan and if you didn't seperate them.... I would just remove the back plate i can't see any use for that. evildead6789

took the water coolers back plate out and put the mb back in only to realize the stock cooler does hack a back plate to the plastic piece that stock heat sick latches onto can be screwed to the mb, dammit ;(

Okay I have the mb all set with the back plate on it, should I go ahead and connect my cases stuff to the motherboard because it seems like it will be easier if I do it before I put in the GPU. Also is my graphics cards fan supposed to be facing up or down because it was facing down before which would have meant the gpu's fan and the psu would have been blowing at each other.

scratch that^ Stupid question the gpu will only go in one way so I guess it's facing down.

Im having trouble with the stock cpu fan I can't get both sides to clip in at the same time...

just start with one side first and then do the other. If you can't do it with your hands use a screwdriver but be carefull that you don't ruin the motherboard. If you make mistakes don't go crazy, it isn't ruined that fast, just try to be carefull. evildead6789

KK got that in place, gonna go hook it up to a monitor and start it up. Is there a chance something could get broken if I have any wires put in the wrong place?

reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key.

all setup what now?

if you're done with that you have to go into the bios(setup, you'll have to press a key noramally it's delete or f2) and look if your bios have found the harddisk and optical drive. Then you have to put the boot order to this 1 st cd-drive, 2nd harddisk, 3 and on doesn't matter. Make sure you save when you exit the bios. Then you put your windows cd in the optical drive and reboot your pc. The install procedure will start just follow on screen instructions. If you have a question just ask i will look regurarly but i just installed dead space 2 and i'm dying to start lolevildead6789

err Im still getting the same message
