Just plug it in and boot, go into Bios and select XMP(read the manual to see how to select memory timings and XMP).

If you can't do it, let me know, I'll cook up a tutorial for you.

Many thanks tkin,

It will required 4 days more to start my pc, Because I hv ordered 750 w Cooler Master SMPS, as my current 450 SMPS, does not work with my current configurations,

I will definitely try with your given suggestions and if i will find any difficulties I will approach you for the same.

One more Question I have, can we configure Raid 0 for OS and Raid 5 for Data Protection together on my selected motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H Motherboard ?

I mean can we configure RAID 0 and RAID 5 together with 5 SATA HDD's equal size configurations on Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H Motherboard ?.

Get a Corsair or Seasonic SMPS. If you have ordered a Cooler Master Extreme Series PSU then immediately cancel the order. Seasonic and Corsair offer better SMPS at the same price point.

Need your Guidance...

Why don't you buy a PSU online? Like Cilius said, cancel the CM PSU order and get either Seasonic or Corsair.

My suggestion: Seasonic S12II 620 - Flipkart, considering you have a mid-high-end GPU.

Or Corsair TX850 - Flipkart, for a high-end GPU.

Regarding a cabby, get either CM 690 II Advanced - Flipkart or CM HAF 912 Combat - Flipkart.

cancel order of cm extreme by any means posible. they are not worth of your money.
Psu- seasonic s12II 620w at5.4k
cabinet- corsair carbide 400r at around 4.8k or a 300r if u find it relatively cheaper

Stay away from CM unless you are going for their high end range, which model did you order?

Feb 1, 2013 at 8:53 PM
HI frnds,

I have purchased Seasonic PSU, Its fit in my current Cabinet but Still i need to purchase new cabinet only as my power button on cabinet not working...

What about cabinet - Bitfenix Outlaw APAC Edition - form flipkart ?

It has 7 Fans Cooling Support, plus suits my budget too....

At the end, to all of you, many thanks for Guidance.........

Get NZXT Source 210 @3k. You said you'll be using six SATA HDDs ?? Well, this one has eight 3.5" drive bays compared to only four in Bitfenix Outlaw. 7-fan cooling is overkill for your kind of use.

The Power button is not working is not a big issue; it happens due to either burned or loose connector cable connecting the Power Button and the the Motherboard switched. Take the Cabinet to any local Computer Repair Center and try to fix it. Cost will not be more than 300/400 bucks.

Problems is with my old cabinet that it supports only one case fan, not proper cooling environment, if I'm going to use 6 HDD's of 2 TB each , 16 GB ram and with AMD Graphics card then - there should be proper ventilation and cooling support is required..

So I have to purchase another one...

97% power seller with 500+ ratings can be trusted, also ebay refunds money if its not shipped or damaged or fake, when you pay in ebay, they take the money and release it only when you confirm that you had received the product: Learn how to buy or sell on eBay India

I buy stuff worth upto 10k from ebay, not more, fans can be bought, I had purchased over a dozen fans from ebay. So he can get the cabinet if he wants.

What is the budget for the Graphics card. For Cabinet Fans, get couple of 3 Pin to Molex Converter and connect them with two of the Power connectors from PSU directly. Also if even if your Motherboard does have 4 Pin header for the Fans, they also work with 3 Pin connectors.

Thanks Cilus- just one more query here is can i use cli configuration with this if not then please suggest me other graphics cards with cli configure - if budget goes lil bit high I don't mind but yeah power consumption should be calculate as I have 750 W PSU.

*www.flipkart.com/gigabyte-nvidia-geforce-gtx-650-2-gb-gddr5-gv-n650oc-2gi-graphics-card/p/itmdfbptjakf2tqx?pid=GRCDFBPSQYN2VG5M - does this is fine or any other graphic card?

I think you mean sli, not cli.
650ti doesnt support sli. Sli support starts from 660.


Which 750w psu do you have ?
It would be helpful if you can put up your system config in your profile signature.

Also, there is no point of adding to lower-mid range cards in SLI. Better get a good single GPU card like HD 7870.

Decide whether you want sli or cf and the total budget for 2 cards. Then look for an appropriate card.
SLI : Try 660 x 2
CF: Try 7870 x 2

Though personally if I had a choice, I would take the best single gpu in the budget and add another later down the line.

How about Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7870 HDMI OC Edition 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - from flipkart... it cost about Rs. 18743..
Link is - Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7870 HDMI OC Edition 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - Sapphire: Flipkart.com

This card is good. Price is less than 17k locally.

Yes, if the importer is tirupati(all models sold in kolkata are from tirupati, check the imported by sticker on the box), you can get it serviced via tirupati.
