The rest of the hard doesn't seems to make any sense to post like cd/dvd ect rom
So that for now .. as soons as ill get some stuff will start to post some pic's ect

[Stonerboy779]

I am very sorry to say your PC will not boot....

That is an AM3 board you ordered and bulldozer CPUs will only work in AM3+ sockets.

[Waco]

Yep. Those parts just don't work together.

I'd suggest sending the mobo/CPU back and getting a lower-end Intel Sandy-Bridge build for roughly the same cost.

[isq000]

Hmm didn't notice the difference between socket's .. anyway just contacted the company.Might be they made an mistake at description if not ill send them back and get another one .. but basically the system stays the same

[isq000]

Just got the response on my message to company who sold the bundle to meh ... and it turns out to be an description mistake so all good

[DanTheGamer11]

So what's the dealio?

[XtremeDS]

What board is it? I actually find a bit odd some features.

I am saying this because the board only supports DDR3 1333 at O.C, only 8 GB of ram and it only has 2 slots for ram.

[DanTheGamer11]

It's probably a very cheap one...
I saw a cheap mobo but it was great... for 32 pounds you could get a mobo that supports DDR2 and DDR3! Onboard IGPU and Athlon 64 and Phenom compatibility as well as Athlon II and Phenom II

[isq000]

Well the MB is Gigabyte M68MT-S2 instead of the one they have shown in picture and description .. but anyway i had to stop this little project of mines since the CPU is faulty ... damn thing were tested on an different MB and i got the same result - no Post ... gona have to wait till ill get an replacement.

P.S the MB isnt the most expensive one but its not about how expensive things are ~ as long as it will work the way it suppose to either way i wont be going for a some massive O.C or more like i wont OC it at all (for now)

Heck, if you're Waco, even AM3+ boards won't work with Bulldozer.

Ok then explain why teh company does sell the bundles and even already y build up's with this MB same CPU ect ? Waco or not its no point to be rude if someone is tryn to make a build even if i am not that much experienced with this.Instead of you are an Waco ect you could give me an advice how to ?!
At the same time i gave the stuff ( everything ive got - the hard ware ) to an Specialist who's is experienced enough and even he couldn't do anything with it.
Like i said the CPU were tested on dif. MB and it didn't work

Don't take things personally, it's the internet. And I'm not being rude... except to Waco.

Waco is pretty experienced. He had a whole thread dedicated to his FX and AM3+ upgrade that I don't think ever worked. He could probably give the best insight of what's probably going on.

I think this was the thread: http://forums.overcl...pic=187874&st=0
