Actually I just wanted to overclock the ram nw bcoz 1066Ghz was too low for a 1600 capable thing!

I will overclock my Procy once i get a Good HSF. Also i need a 140mm fan for my cabinet and i just can't find that here in Bangalore or on ebay.



Hope watvr i did sticks n der and no smoke or campfire starts inside the Cabinet. :-P

hi azaad, well.. the buy is gr8..

the RAM is good, dont worry...G Skill is a good brand too,so nothing to worry abt..

abt the PSU: well, if i were u, i wud hv definately gone for Corsair (or TAgan) with my eyes closed, so plz hv a look on tat Cooler Master PSU...

and yes, ur cabby's choice is gr8, its a huge full tower cabby, so u will be having a lot of fun customising it with LED fans and tubes, it has ample room for housing the Water cooling kit for ur i7 too..
-----------

CHeers n e-peace,...

[azaad_shri75]

^ thank you, I tried for Corsair and was ready to order online, however seeing the specs of GX 750W - as it was also Active Power Correction one with 85% efficiency, so took the risk of buying it

[Sid_gamer]

^^
Don't worry...Apart from the Extreme Series other PSU's from Cooler Master are good...Even I own the CM Silent Pro M600 and it is indeed very stable and efficient...

@ashu

Well i am a bit confused about the water cooler coz i had chosen the Corsair H50 Hydro before but i am now thinking of saving some cash and going for a much more better cooler like the Swiftech H20-220 Ultima XT...it's a great water cooler but what hits me is that it's too costly...So I need suggestions from you all at TDF about what should I go for .....

Cheers,
Sid_gamer

Neways, since i purchased the UPS from APC directly, Along with the UPS, i got the following:

1.) 2 power cord cables (IEC320 C13 to IEC320 C14) i.e male lart at one end and female part at the other end. (so those 2 i used one for my LCD to the UPS and the other for my PSU to the UPS)

2.) one spike guard (especially made for us, indian users) which has a IEC320 C14 (i.e the male plug which ill go into the back of the UPS and then in the 3 sockets of spike guard, i hv my Router, Speaker connected to it)

3.) 2 CDs (one a powerchute installation CD and other, the manual..)
----------

the spike guard was faulty (as i started using it) so called up APC, Mumbai's main distributor and the spike guard was replaced within 2 hrs at my home.. along with a proper bill for that spike guard..
-----------
also, that UPS weighs an enormous 24.5 Kgs...

-----------
Cheers n e-peace....

sorry do dig old post, I did not get spike in the packing,

and I already bought 2x8 way belkin spike guards, which have desi plug, now how do I use the ups output do we get any combination socket which goes into ups female inlet with desi female outlet- so that I could use desi plugged ones which i bought or do we get male only plugs suiting the ups female inlet so that I could cut off the desi plugs from my spike guards and fix them with the ones we need IEC -320 C14- is this plug available separately and if yes how much?

[Sid_gamer]

@ ashu and asigh
Me too....I have also decided to buy the Swiftech, but it will be at the end of April or the start of May...Coz i need to save some cash for it.....

ashu bro u can install the radiator at the back of the case (i mean outside) the place where we put a 120MM fan...Or else I guess u can also install it inside the case at the Top of ur CM 690 the place which has 2x 120MM fan installing space...

[asingh]

Guys, the deal is still in the starting stage. There are two dealers there, I have shown them interest, let us see if they can arrange it. We would need a collective/confirmed yes from minimal 10 guys (TE+TDF), they might manage it for us. Please do not take this as 100% from me, cause the dealers have to give the agreement. I will just guide you guys to the dealers, and you take care of it your selfs (EFT transfers/address details). Will of course keep you all updated.

Till then, you can look at this, they ship to India, but customs is your own deal.

Ashu:
I do not think you can keep the components inside the CM690. Pump/reservior can be kept inside -- the radiator unit for sure not.

as I told earlier I purchased same UPS- however I did not get the spike guard and its not in the list also, where as other items were there, it even does not have cable to power in, are these C14 plugs available separately

[Sid_gamer]

@asigh and ashu
Dude the Radiator if installed at the back of the case as shown in that picture will require 2 holes at the back of the case for the pipes to pass through...and my cabinet doesn't have those two holes at its back...What should i do now

[asingh]

1. Get two drilled.
2. Buy a new cabinet.

Only if the Swiftech deal goes through.

u mean u wanna hv the male (IEC320 C13) and female part (IEC320 C14) wich will connect the PSU outlet to the UPS back inlet..??? yup, those power cords (with male and female part at opposite ends) is easily available in the market for 50-60 rupees..

well, as i can see from the pics (the link tat asigh) has given above, the position of the pipes is awkward, so i will hv to drill out those 2 holes.. there's no other way...

Have pm'ed 2 dealers. Let us see what happens. Will update you. Also since you have a CM690, the radiator can be inverted too. So the two holes should be manageable.
