My Corsair 250D arrived! [/w Pictures] Short Review

[moheli]

It actually arrived on the 14th of November. It took roughly two weeks, after I placed the order, for it to arrive at my doorstep. Many thanks to Sanjit Ghosh, Zbear Ramzan, Adam Jones and Anthony Cunliffe over at PCSpecialist who worked on my PC.

The additional fans I ordered were removed due to lack of space and I was refunded but, regardless of this, my PC maintains relative temperatures quite easily during elongated periods. But it's quite noisy even when idle.

Click here to check out my gaming setup (and pictures from different angles).

Problems so far:

• I keep receiving the "Office Telemetry has stopped working" error message ever since I downloaded Office 2013. [Fixed]
• Windows Explorer keeps restarting when I'm copying video files. [Fixed]
• I play with reduced graphical settings even though my GPU can handle much more (this is to maintain its lifespan) yet my game crashes often during elongated periods (4-6hrs). [Not Yet Fixed]
• My CPU and GPU maintain surprisingly cool temperatures even during elongated periods of high-demand gaming but the radiator on the H60 Hydro Cooler tends to get uncomfortably warm. [Not Yet Fixed]

Also, I sometimes receive the "would you like to change windows color scheme for performance?" message despite seeing no drops or fluctuations in performance. This interrupts my gameplay and leaves me sceptical about the condition of my PC, it may very likely be related to the last two points.

Apart from that, everything else seems absolutely fine! Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I'll be checking in and updating this review quite regularly.
