I wish Zotac provided the connectors on the side rather than towards the left sidepanel. Why not just route the PCIe power cable from the gromet above the card? Personally preferred the alcor, but I wish they had sidegrips like they do with the mizar. Good choice of hardware.

dude at this budget should have got 16gb ram..!
8gb no good when I multitask.
and no 2nd screen ? seriously!! get one before you even boot up.

Literally nothing consumes more than 8GB RAM at once so its good enough for now.

Oh yes!

Actually I've heard that everyone is pissed off at Tirupati enterprises because they have been behaving erratically. Couple of folks said that they're not helping with RMA of seasonic stuff unless you buy it from them directly via their site/ebay from them. Somone had tough time to RMA H220 water cooler from them too. With arm-twisting business tactics like tirupati with dealers and resellers, its no wonder they're doing the same. Such a shame. A good PSU brand with such a distributor.

I think Thunder series' OEM is Enhance Electronics. Same guys who make V series. Enhance is a very well-known and quality psu oem. I seriously it will be a problem.

they didnt stop PSU production but the RMA is getting lazy(Tirupati Enterpises). They take too much time while RMAing a product.

lol dude are you for real? i open up my PC with KAS, IDM, uTorrent, GeForce Experience and Thunder Master as open in boot in win 7 and not even 1GB of my RAM is consumed.

PS - something is leeching off your RAM i guess.

This makes me jealous. Awesome rig.

bikramjitkar · Nov 29, 2014

great rig, but please fix the cable management.

layzee · Dec 19, 2014

The water cooler's pipes seem to be flexing a bit awkwardly there. Reposition/reseat to get it sorted.
Also, cable management near the GPU can be improved.

sumonpathak · Dec 19, 2014

1.The cpu water block is upside down

2.why thunder on an 1.7L rig? why not the V700 from the CM instead? or GX II 750W? or the GM 750?

Vyom93 · Dec 22, 2014

I would suggest u to change your smps because its ugly :lol:

if u can but the CM V700 or the Corsair RM series it has that flat cables its just awesome its will make it look fantastic and help improve cable management and some led strip for little bing

Too much time?

2 DAYS for courier from Mumbai to Kolkata

They ship the replacement same day or next day.(Using DTDC Express Air)

2 days for return.

Sunday holiday.

Replacement is on my doorstep on Monday.

The handling time was only one day for me, rest is spent in transit.

8GB is more than sufficient, Windows 7 onwards works on a concept called "prefetching". It will "grab" a fair amount of ram, BUT it gives it back as programs request memory. So it appears to be eating up all of memory when in technically it isnt ....

ya some how 3-4 gb will always be free no wonder how many things open...................
