Yesterday I got all my new components.
Thermaltake Chaser A71 Case
Asus Z87-Pro Motherboard
Intel I7 4770K
8 GB (2X4GB) Ripjaws 1600mhz
120GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO
Gigabyte GTX 660 OC video card
Thermaltake Water Extreme 2.0
The rest I already Had ( DVD burner) & Corsair TX750 power supply.
There are various problems.
#1 The case fans of the Chaser A71 ( the 200MM ones) One of them doesn't run or starts up and slows down. I don't understand why since I have a 750watt psu. I tried it connected to the CHA FAN 3 pin connectors on the motherboard and also with an adapter to connect it the regular way to the PSU. The top fan doesn't want to keep rotating. When I push it it rotates pretty easily. Is the fan defective ? is there enough power being sent from the PSU? Is it the motherboard !? I dont know.
#2 The Gigabyte GTX 660 OC makes a whizzing noise on iddle ( will probably do it on load also)
I had a badluck with gigabyte products and decided never to buy again but at 149$ I had to take the deal. Now I regret having strayed aways from Asus. Everything I bought over the years that was Asus is just sublime. WTF is the whizzing???? If I hold the plastic case that surrounds the fans its stops.
#3
My Thermaltake Extreme 2.0 is noisy also. ( I have not installed nothing besides WIN 7 pro and the nvidia drivers) Is this normal ? Am I having bad luck on a 1200$ build. I hate when This happens.
The thing that bothers me the most is the fans not working. But that whizzing sound from both my GTX 660 OC and the Water cooler is driving me insane !!!!!!
P.S.
The whizzing from my Video card by the way sounds exactly like this :
