Overpriced piece of noise!

Now cooling my APU.

Mussels · Nov 9, 2013

how noisy is it?

agent00skid · Nov 9, 2013

Depends on how cold I want the APU to be. So far it's not too bad, but at full tilt it certainly announces it's presence.

And let me just say that I don't like Corsair Link fan control. The custom curve wasn't explained, the chart has only max. and min. values with no further info available and I have no idea which temperature it's acting on.

Edit: And that's my initial displeasure bitching. It's probably decent enough when I learn to use it.

After checking all the coolers you guys siggested out, and eeing which ones i could actually get my hands on here...

I found out the CM Hyper 212 EVO gets the closest to what most of you suggested here, and it CAN actually blow air to the back of the case.

So i have narrowed my question down considerably: Arctic Freezer A30 or CM Hyper212 Evo?

my phenom ii x4 95W ildes at ambient with the CM hyper 212 evo

i have two nzxt case fans on it XD

Sliver Krunk · Nov 9, 2013

I have used the hyper 212 and evo and they are both better than stock by a proportionate bit. They perform well. My X58 965 is still on the hyper 212 and that was to replace my H70.

here are my 580's in my new system if you want to see them. they put my 450's to shame still.

4ghz native speed? WOOOW!

PHaS3 · Nov 9, 2013

My PC was visited by lightning a couple weeks ago. Here is my current setup - specs in System Specs.

Going to get another motherboard next month, MSI Z77A-GD65 most like. This one for some reason wants my 680 to run at PCIE 3.00 X8 under load, which is fine but not perfect :laugh:

wow my dual 580 matrix and Xeon E3-1275v2 managed to get a above 7k pts in Fire strike

oh wait ... its not the SLI result

i suspected 4k and a i7-4960X + 580 SLI wouldn't be right , how come you have 2 cards but run only 1card?

ypoora1 · Nov 9, 2013

My secondary. Not much with it's i3-320 and GTX650, but it has better RAM than my main(8gb 1600 instead of 16gb 1333) and does the job. Will add hardware pics later.

Edit: Later means Now. Yeah, it's a little bit dusty

I've had this case since forever and i'm not planning on retiring it anytime soon! :rockout:

My new gaming/work rig complete:

Consists of FX-8350, ASRock 990FX Extreme9, Patriot Viper3 2133 MHz C11, ASUS Matrix 7970 Platinum, and ASUS 7970 Direct CUII TOP. Currently running 4.5 GHz @ 1.35 V on the CPU, memory won't work with anything over 1600 MHz(out of the 25 or so kits I have here, this is the only kit that works OK!!!). Might have to try another board.

And what was your reasoning behind going all AMD? Were you bored or something? :laugh:

I might start attempting to overclocking my 4770k today, as I have nothing to do.

The 3960X is was using before was an ES lent to me by Gigabyte, and they asked for it back. :banghead:

It's probably already back in Taiwan now. So, I had to do something...or have no rig. :shadedshu

Anyway, after we played BF4 this morning, and my game crashed, I decided to swap boards, since the VGAs had no breathing room between them, and I ended up with this:

Unfortunately, the slot arrangement only allows for dual-slot VGAs, not triple, so now I am down to one 7970. However, I know that this ASUS board clocks my 8350 properly, unlike that ASRock crap, so now I am off to change the ram, too, and get my 2400 MHz with 4 sticks back. I couldn't even get 1866 MHz with the ASRock board. :mad:

I'll be back in the TS in a bit if ya want some tips on that OC, and I'll have more rig pics once I settle on what ram I am using.

Going to get some stress testing software you recommend in your guide like AIDA before I do anything.

I've had one since release and have been keeping it safe since I stopped using it about 3 years ago. I figured a GA-Z87X-OC with all of its OC buttons and front-facing USB ports was the perfect board for it! Going to be putting it into a case soon, but thought that I couldn't pass it up in the Torture Rack!

The Macho's RETURN!

i'm really not used to CWC AIO ...

so then the Macho is back (2nd TY-147 as back exhaust)

the temp doesn't move too much and I've put the 2 SST AP 121 on the bottom intake (1 for the gpu 1 for the HDD rack)

Kovoet · Nov 12, 2013

little bit of an update.
Carbon the crossfire connector

Do I go crossfire or not.

My new branded stickers. Yes IO am a brand S..t but proud of it.

Mod the HDD a bit

Loving the colours

With the cover on

In all her glory.

Mussels · Nov 12, 2013
