I was able to squeeze a little bit more out of my 5960X and got it to 4.7ghz and was able to overclock both my 980s to 1607mhz which gave me this massive 3dfirestrike score of 22,801! Crazy!

Got it fixed, had to move the second card down one slot

She lives! Tho, I CANNOT get SLI to work, I dont even have the option to enable SLI in the Nvidia control panel. Both 980s show in GPUZ, and in the device manager, and even in Unigine Heaven it reports the temps of both cards, but I cant enable SLI. The only thing I havent tried is moving the...

So a little bit of a development, instead of a 128ssd for the os and a 512ssd for games, I got a 1tb Samsung 1tb evo ssd :)

No I got it from a guy in Russia, got it for a great price

Hey yall, Time to upgrade my (sig) rig, mostly because I am going to be perusing video editing as a career and I have really been sinking my teeth into Adobe Premiere, a processor that is more up to the task is now required. Im still waiting on a few parts so It will be a few days until im...

Oh I know, as a owner of two 980s im terrified haha. Im hoping to get $430 for both my 980s WITH EK full coverage blocks and backplates. :/ I paid $800 for both my cards plus $100/ea for the water blocks. :(

+2 to used gear The last 5 or so computers I have used have always been built out of almost entirely used parts. I just built a new HTPC for my TV and there is an Asus Strix 960 in there that I got used off craigslist for $120, thats just over 100 quid. I just built a 1080p gaming computer...

Im probably going to grab two 1070s and slap EK waterblocks on them for my upcoming 5960x build

Zero. that is a stock photo. The only thing that I did to that picture is used MS Paint and a paint brush to soften the reflection of the white light on the cables and tubes. Now I remember why I kinda strayed away from this forum. You challenge me on EVERYTHING I ****ing say.

The smoke was not photoshopped. My friend has a small photo studio, we used his vape cigarette electric thing and added the smoke that way.

Actually Asus has a nice little feature where they limit the overclock utility to a certain voltage so that doesnt happen. IIRC, they limit it to like 1.275volts. not 100% sure exactly, but they do limit the voltage. The software is actually quite intuitive. Most of their motherboards from the...

been a while since Ive been around these forums, heres my latest build, finished it last june I guess. 4770k sli 980 Raidmax hyperion case

I have been MSI all the way for the last few years, but something from Asus has caught my eye, something that no one else is doing with their motherboards. Asus has a feature on just about all their new boards, called " 5 Way Optimization ". With one simple click in their motherboard utility...

Alright guys, I made the LED strips Ill be using to light up the inside of this build today, I figured that I could hook them up to the fan controller and control their brightness with it, and it worked! When I want the computer to be super quiet and dark, I turn the controller all the way down...
