[quote]I still think the Antec 1200 is the best case...


Yeah, I looked at it but, it is not compatible with the 3-way SLi ! For 3-way Sli, you need 8 expansion slots while this case has 7. Only the Skeleton and the Nine Hundred Two has 8 slots !

I beleave you are wrong....I have the old Antec 900 and I have enough slots for Tri SLI! And I had a clan member check to see if his 1200 case had enough slots, and he dose. You must be using a odd MB???? Are you trying to use Tri SLI and a sound card?

Yeah the UD4P mobo looks like having a weird design. The 3rd pci-e slot is very low on the board. If you count the connectors (2 for each pci-e) you'll need 8 slots. So maybe it depends of the mobo.




You can see here that the 3rd card is in one slot only (and the 7th) !

Well that explains it! Damn Gigabyte boards are looking better these days...Hey Antec....Make a 1200 black Ed. Also if your Cpu HS dosen't fit the new case (skeleton) then take a look at this one....

Has a push/ pull fan setup.and you can change the fans out for higher "CFM" 120mm fans.....

I received all the stuff yesturday and I built the monster ... nothing works !

I've been on it all the night and still not working, I don't even have any screen displayed. The CPU cooler gets hot really quick and the fan is running at very very low speed. I noticed that when I don't plug the 12Vx2 connector, the CPU fan runs at normal speed ...


Now I browse forums to find a solution before RMA.

It's like the 10th computer I build and they always booted perfectly first shot. :?



EDIT : Never mind, I found it. I've put the memory modules in the wrong slots. Slots are inverted, it goes like that : 2-1-4-3-6-5. So I had to put them in the second slot of each channel to get in 1-3-5 (white slots)!!
