SEMI-Finished on Page2.. A *VBIT* Happier.
Need to vent. Just spent 5.5 hours transferring my Qmicra build to the SG01 build after UPS delivered it at 5 something today. This is just transferring, i didn't even get to sleeve, cable manage or do anything.
The nightmare begins when I begin the mobo swap. The Xigmatek bolt-thru kit's backplate's sticky shit is no fucking joke..Spent 10 minutes wrestling with it until I decided to stick a knife to it and do the twists. Now my mobo has a patch of sticky shit on it because I guess some fucktard at Xigma decided that mobos and coolers are forever.
That's just getting started. As usual with all my builds and many of yours, you stick the mobo into the case with the heatsink right, I mean the NT06 uses a backplate mount so.. Fucking shit. You can't stick the mobo into the case with the cooler on - the goddamn NON-removable hard drive blocks everything - there is absolutely no gap between the board and the hard drive, and the 5.25" bay above is longer than the hard drive cage that adds to the frustration.
Ok, so I get the damn cooler off, get the mobo in there and.. Shitfuck. The cooler won't fucking go in! I remedied this after who knows how long by squishing the NT06 into a ball and then it would finally fit. Yea, you need to fucking compress it to get it inside, how fucking retarded? The CPU side of the case has a long ass piece of metal that retains the PSU blocking it - you can't work through there. The assembly and dis-assembly of this (2 times too) shit takes a while thanks to the stupid thumbscrews that burn your fingers.
Don't fret, I have a shit load more to say about how awful an experience I have encountered. But I am too damn hungry and still need to clean up the mess...
Bottom line - DO NOT GET THIS BULLSHIT COMBO. I thought my Lanbox was a bitch to work with, this combo takes the trophy by a fucking lightyear.
And if you want temps.. "idle" while writing this rant at 2.703GHz 1.264v = 55c. Loading CPUZ took it to 65c at 4.050GHz. Whatever, enough for tonight. Can't WAIT til I get cracking at the rest of what I left out.
-------
Update.. Before
After1.. added 2 40mm fans at the back which do NOTHING. Told you it wasn't anything that has "wow" factor; not done yet..
The verdict remains the same.. PITA!!! Anyone considering this combo desperately needs to reconsider. The Silverstone logo and DVD writer logo are getting on my nerves..

. I had serious buyers remorse and real reservations about a passive cpu heatsink relying on a power supply to draw off it's heat which, in turn, would make it run hotter and noisier.
