There aren't that many good 140mm fans, so I personally wouldn't bother (I looked around 6 months ago and there are literally no good ones).

Yeah I just had a look actually...I suppose I could upgrade my Corsair 120mm sp fans to the 2350rpm version rather then the "Quiet" edition 1450 ones I have on both the dual and triple rads.
Probably need to replace the pump as its still noisy...and do a drain/flush maybe as I want to add in a proper drain line.

Yes, Also use them at work with lasers. Not worth the hassle. Condensation is a biatch.
A shiny black one.
PC specialist give you that option, not bought a laptop from them, but the desktop PC I bought 5 years ago is still going strong.

Yes, you can upscale video with suitable software and get better results than 'on-the-fly' encoding. With a software solution it comes down to the upscaling algorithm(s) used and, obviously, there is no time-critical element in terms of delivering the decoded frame to screen at 30/60/120 frames per second (hence better quality encoding can be employed).

290x has more grunt than a 780. Depends if you want the nvidia tech stuff though
Evo 5 RS
780 Ti is faster in the OPS department, so has more 'grunt'
Polo + Micra
but it's not in the same price bracket it would be just the 780

Pretty sure the dude is not talking about the Ti version.

Treated myself to a new board to replace my EVGA that I've had no end of problems with.
Yes x79 is on its way out, but I have no plans to upgrade to x99, this machine should last a while yet!
Comparison shot.
Shame really as the EVGA is such a good looking board.
ASUS has been rock solid though. ran my proper memory timings + speed straight out of the box, something the EVGA couldn't do after 6 months and 8 different BIOS'.

I approve.I'm not sure your specification 'fits' I'm afraid... :rasp:

Have to admit some of the specs in here are insane. My new rig is so last Tuesday.
So does Crysis 3.
120fps on maximum possible settings. lol
You still rocking the Sandybridge i7? Is there any bottlenecks?
As per our PM's mate.
For everyone else; good lord 780ti SLI is MONSTER. Incredible frame rates in everything. I'm able to inject awesome levels of antialiasing, which hugely improve image quality, and yet I'm unable to get any game to drop a single frame beyond what my eyes perceive as buttery smooth. FRAPS has verified this. I'm getting minimums of 80fps in situations where I'm purposely trying to break games, and frequently seeing a maxed 120fps (120hz monitor). Basically I'm a frame *****, and I'm over the moon with this setup, despite the system being an ageing i7 2600K. I don't benchmark these days though, so I'm not seeing any possible bottlenecks.
It's quite cool to note that such a system will be future proofed by the current consoles, and yet enable vastly superior image quality and frame rates for a very long time. I cannot imagine that my system will need more power for quite a few years to come. Not unless some games developer goes off the grid and makes something un-maxable. Like for example Crysis, as it was in its day. Good times ahead for consoles and PC.

Munson forgive me for missing it but what's your full spec?
Isn't 1.38v pretty high? Should be around 1.25 or so. I'd try 100x46 personally.
It should be a lot more straight forward, set the multiplier and away you go. Maybe the RAM speeds tbh, I remember reading that this gen of i7's aren't favorable to higher ram speeds, but maybe wrong.

Get another one and put them on water for true baller status.
Overclock the sh*t out of them as well! One of mine does 1385mhz core on stock volts. Andy will concur though, I wouldn't go throwing around words like future proof...
*Cough* VRAM

Might as well use up a little bit of that money you had set aside for the Akrapovich...Get another one and put them on water for true baller status.
Hmmm, yeah. That's a problem alright. A few games now are seeing issues where high-end cards with 6GB VRAM are being exhausted with not so desirable results. Still, the 780's should be good for a while yet. New changes to API's and what not will help a little and PC ballers and high-rollers (i.e. peeps in this thread) might have to cut back on the antialiasing a bit when running at 3,387,567 x 1,875,309 pixel resolutions...
Talking of 6GB cards, EVGA have just offered me a 'step-up' as part of their Step-Up (funnily enough) programme. Basically I can upgrade my card to a 6GB 780 for the difference in price between what I paid for mine new and the cost of the new 6GB card. The only problem is that I wouldn't get a SuperClocked one - just a 'standard' EVGA card based on nVidia reference.

How does this Step-up business work? I bought an EVGA 680 brand new about a year ago.
Evo 5 RS
Wolfenstein: New Order, at 1440p and Virtual Texturing on Ultra...without VT Compress enabled the game grinds to a hault. Also Watch Dogs is very VRAM intensive...albeit I believe that to be an engine flaw with texture streaming more than anything...
8GB VRAM on the new cards please!
Also Andy, that step-up is to the 780 GTX, not the Ti variant. So you'll be taking a couple steps back with less shaders / grunt. The SuperClock range is a bit of a jammy one, as they're only the same as reference cards with a slight bump in the core / memory clock. You can very easily just flash a reference Ti to the SC BIOS...
I do not think EVGA (or any vendor) are planning a 6GB Ti. The Titan Black is essentially the same PCB as the Ti with the extra memory and Double Precision (the Ti is laser cut) to boot...NV wouldn't want it to trample on The Black as the only reason to then buy one would be for the double precision, which no gamer is going to need.

I've just read that it's products bought within 90 days I believe

Yep, although if you registered for the 6GB programme they were/are(?) willing to accept people as long as you have the extended warranty already.

Great purchase! I bought my Asus Rampage III Extreme back in 2010 and I'm still using it this very day. Superb motherboards imo.

They do these for the Black now as well...Bit late in the day for them IMO but hopefully this will be a new range for EK. CPU / Chipset / VRM cooling all rolled into one. Makes it much easier for routing tubing

Got 4.4GHz at 1.25v. Full 2400mhz RAM speeds. Stable (Hopefully!). Think ill leave it at that for now.

I do 4.4 @ 1.2v on a hex core. Try harder

Saw these!
Look bloody awesome. Wanted to put the board under water but couldn't be bothered with the extra tubing/routing so stuck with the CPU and GPU's.
Problem solved with that. Might get something similar for the next build! (Or even this one....)
