After a long wait I finally received my new Azure Build
after receiving the package - my first thoughts were....crap this is bigger than I thought! after I opened the box my fears were realised! ITS MASSIVE! and very heavy. It looks great tho
after removing all the packaging I expected the case, there were some marks on the white case which is disappointing however not deal breaking. I opened up the doors to remove the protective form inside and did some further inspections. All looks ok inside the main section, however the back panel was slightly wrapping. I opened this to discover one of the SSD trays was loose. This must have been the cause of the wrapping.
Also note I was given a Palit GTX 980 Ti rather than the Zodiac that was advertised ( I am not sure on the differences) as well as the Gigabyte motherboard
After setting the pc up I booted up for the first time
as previously mentioned the first boot takes longer as it is loading windows for the first time.
I updated drivers etc - one issue with the graphics drivers - I did have a funny screen after installing them and rebooting however this has not returned since so I assume it was just the initial setup.
one problem I have noticed is with the front fans. The bottom one is not spinning. I am assume they are both meant to be doing so all the time. So have contacted PCS regarding this. could this be a bios setting or a loose connection?
I have yet to put its through its paces graphically however data transfer speeds from my external USB 3.0 HHD were exceptional - when transferring large amounts of data It reached 110mb per sec which I have never seen before so happy with that!
boot up times from a cold boot is silly so fast! it is very quiet
So very pleased and look forward to putting it through its paces this weekend . just abit disappointed regarding the front fan but I am sure it is an easy fix
I shall pop some photos on later on too
