Quality Procedures Ensured

TKF PC BUILD BREAKDOWN

Parts ordering begins only after a build is confirmed by the customer as we deal with custom builds, so in-hand prior inventory for every specific components are not fully maintained (in any case if any stock is available, it will be used first). 
So do keep in mind, it will take some time for the order, build, testing & final delivery.

PC BUILD CONSULTATION & PLANNING

  • Everything begins with proper planning and a one on one interaction (phone or direct visit) with the client to understand their exact requirement, budget, build preferences and other necessary elements needed to know prior to components selection.
  • Once the core requirements are understood, we can share our inputs on what can be offered or how something can be made better. 
  • Then we can work around with the best possible specs suitable for the client & share our estimate.
  • After mutual approval of the spec list & pricing, its time for you to relax & let our magic begin.
We do offer consultation for your PC builds and any PC Tech related issues, doubts, troubleshooting etc.

SYSTEM BUILD PROCEDURE OVERVIEW:

  • Review confirmed orders
  • Check for available parts and list them out
  • Procure/order unavailable parts
  • Receive, unbox the parts (unboxing video for our reference and future use only)
  • Initial examination of parts for any noticeable damages/issues
  • Once all clear – proceed to documentation of part/serial no.s of components
  • Assemble core components outside the case for testing
  • Apply thermal compound & CPU cooler
  • Test PSU voltages with power supply tester.
  • Initial BIOS lookup, check Boot of MB/CPU/RAM
  • Check GPU is posting (all ports check)
  • Check CPU, motherboard, RAM, storage, fans show in BIOS
  • Once initial test bench setup is clear, we start to build in the actual chassis
  • Case assembly – check case & panels
  • Assemble all the components in the cabinet
  • Install IO Shield to cabinet
  • Mount motherboard with CPU & RAM
  • Screw in all the motherboard screws in place
  • Mount the PSU and route cables
  • Mount Storage drives and cables
  • Install AIO/cooler/fans (if additional needed)
  • Connect power supply connections
  • Connect Cabinet front panel connections
  • Install Graphics card and connect cables
  • Connect the fan / fan hub cables
  • All initial connections done
  • Test if PC boots before final cable management
  • Check CPU cooler, fans, Case lighting/RGB works
  • Install WIFI antenna/card (if needed)

  • Verify System Fan Orientations
  • Install additional RGB software (if supported) & test overall RGB
  • Optimize cooler/fan settings (if needed)
  • Register log of test results for future reference
