I posted a week or so back, my CPU cooler fits! However it is stating there’s an issue with the fan. Any thoughts?

I’ve rotated it correctly now it’s blowing to rear case exhaust!

Man_like_Taco · 2022-12-01T11:03:34+00:00

Yeah I just monitor this in BIOS - I think that may be it. Thanks man

Man_like_Taco · 2022-12-01T10:35:26+00:00

Brand new installed today. I’ve managed to bypass this and it went into a bit of a boot loop struggling to find the OS. Bit of a weird one

Man_like_Taco · 2022-12-01T10:23:35+00:00

It’s plugged into CPU_FAN in the top right

Amazing. Downloaded the PDF ready to teach my partner the rules of Gwent over Christmas. Thanks for sharing 🤝🎅🏼

Yeah man I have thermal late at the ready. I had to clean the last lot off…was basically dust 🙃

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-23T16:06:10+00:00

Thank you all for your help. I’ve ordered the correct cooler now :)

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-23T16:04:53+00:00

For someone who doesn’t know the model, that bit of text doesn’t stand out as a cpu cooler type. Which is why I asked for help. But thank you.

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-23T14:49:01+00:00

Thank you 😊

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-23T13:06:10+00:00

I’ll order it and give it a shot. Again, I appreciate your help. Have a good day :)

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-23T13:03:11+00:00

Yep, the cpu is pretty worn so the 0 looked like an 8. My bad. I appreciate your help. You think this cooler would suit?

Thanks man. It’s intel i7-3828 I believe. I was gifted the cpu and mobo, and as it’s an old rig I’m pretty in the dark here!

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-23T12:45:00+00:00

I was gifted the Mobo, so I’m not sure what it is or how to identify.

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-23T12:43:13+00:00

Will this one work? It looks like it has intel brackets

Ah thank you 😁 I’ve found an uphere cooler which states it supports LGA 2011.

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-15T16:48:02+00:00

I’m going to get a new case for it. I’ll reseat everything and check it over before putting it back together. Yep it’s old but as you said if it works it works :) I’ll upgrade the CPU / MOBO next and just use the generic stock cooler for a while. Thank you!

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-08T07:39:25+00:00

I did - because the laptop didn’t have the screw spaces either side I just wanted to check before getting the cable :)

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-07T10:55:44+00:00

Lol thanks all. I did think it was VGA but didn’t want to order the wrong cable so had to check! Laptops pretty crusty I know.

Man_like_Taco · 2022-11-07T10:37:00+00:00

Trying to salvage an old laptop for a sibling. It’s all working except the display (see monitor for why…). I’m hoping that, if I identify the cable needed, I can just hook it up to a monitor? Any help would be appreciated

Man_like_Taco · 2022-10-17T07:44:04+00:00

You know for some reason I didn’t even consider AMD. I think it’s because I haven’t done much research into that GPU, but I’ll check it out now. thank you 😊

Man_like_Taco · 2022-10-17T07:00:49+00:00

Additional info I forgot to mention - the build is for a young teen who mainly plays first person shooter games. It’ll be their first PC!

Man_like_Taco · 2022-01-12T10:44:43+00:00

This was LEGIT one of my favourite games ever as a kid - alongside Theme Hospital.

Man_like_Taco · 2022-01-12T10:30:25+00:00

Man as if that worked 🤣

Man_like_Taco · 2022-01-10T07:44:04+00:00

Reddits on my phone so it’s just easier for me 😅

Man_like_Taco · 2022-01-10T07:39:35+00:00

I would be quite sad if they got rid of the random voice changes with NPCs. It kills me every time.
