at least get it checked,maybe the cable was moved from its correct place during transportation/installation.
Okay so that's the fan cable. It's a really tight fit so I'm guessing it's supposed to be that close. I removed the card and pushed it down a little, but only enough to get it slightly out of the way.

It's fine now. Let's hope it stays that way. I phoned Prime Abgb and they said they will open it up and reroute the cable and I really don't want them opening up my card. So I will have to hope the cable stays put.

Thanks for the replies guys. I really do appreciate it. Glad to know this forum is filled with people who are ready with advice :)

I'll keep you posted on my experience in a couple of weeks.

Hello everyone,

I am also building a system with similar specs. My psu choice was the Seasonic S12II 520W. But during further googling, I read that the PSU had issues with non-sinusoidal output voltages. And from what I have read, the APC BR1100CI-IN UPS has step approximated sine wave and not a 'pure sine wave'. Is that going to be a problem? Has anybody had any issues?

I'm using an APC BX600CI-IN with my S12 II 520 and it worked fine when the power cut.

Thanks for the reply :).

And, was it the same with full load? Because, my primary purpose is gaming and I don't my system to go down in the middle of that. :)

No worries.

Not full load. I don't even wanna try switching off my system during a gaming session just to check :). Only surfing the net. But then again, my system is very energy efficient. Max load is 310-320w.

Where do you live? Do you have a lot of power cuts there?

I am from Kerala. Here we don't have a lot of power cuts, but still there are.

And how much backup do you get?
