Welcome fellow 295x2 user :) I have to ask how did you manage to put those graphs in msi afterburner next to each other ? I only have them underneath each other and I would like to have same layout.

Also noticed after reinstall of win still having CPU spikes in BF4 :( I doubt I can resolve that... Its mega frustrating...updated bios and have no problems with the cpu and 99% of time the games run sweet as a nut...
 
in AB go to settings.. monitoring.. click the little button next to Graph columns that shows 1 and change to 4 :)

you can select higher but a max of 4 can be shown when attached to the main window

Can you try disabling MSAA to see if that improves it?

My biggerst question is why does it happen all of the sudden...no indication no nothing I play for hours and nothing then bam cpu lags like crazy for 20 seconds ....can be random can happen once during game or more times, temps on the cpu are not over 54 on full load with seidon 120v water cooler....

Looks very neat, I would try gaming for a long period as well, something like bf4 to see how is the stability over long periods but it should be plenty 850W.

Also what fan you have on the rad ?
Look at THIS post of mine...
They have different colours as well which might suit your needs and make it look absolutely epic and match your colour scheme. Blue tube separators

Matt

In Thief I don't seem to have the option for 'Convulution Reverb: Hardware' (True Audio.)

It worked fine when I tested it last year, but back then I only had a 290x and I was using the HDMI output from that card.

On the 295x2 I use 1x DisplayPort to my desktop monitor (1440p) and 1x DisplayPort to my Big Screen Panny 58AX802B (2160p)

But for audio I use the DVI - HDMI adapter that came with the card, and that feeds directly in to my A/V Receiver.

Could that be why I can't select 'Hardware'?

Uncompressed audio (7.1) works fine, but perhaps True Audio on the 295x2 is only enabled via DisplayPorts?

Best 10 pounds you can spend, and you have the fan cable wrapped around the same pipe and same way as me :D I am glad I could inspire you guys ;)

Yeah wrapping the cable was a good idea. It's the only way I can think of to keep it somewhat tidy.

A bit of DIY for the weekend :D

I was thinking opening it up an pushing it in but that would be too much work and void warranty...

Btw I was doing some heaven benches and got 2651 on stock, the interesting bit was I redone the test again 2 times and got around 1300 mark...:D ten restarted heaven and again 2600 region... anyone seen this before ?
 
Ordered the red hose clamps. Been a while now, still not arrived.
Will place the rad at the rear now, with 2 of those fans Matt has.

I like to copy the best setups :D
Lovely looking well built fans in person.

Roll on Monday for when I get back home.
I think my pc needs my tlc, the missus will understand :D

Nice thing is, she never moans at me for having a crazy hobby like this, unlike the last gf :p

The last gf, it was a case of her or the pc, I wonder what she's doing now :D
 
I've just noticed something worrying.
Last night I had a power cut. Lasted about 1 second, so it was literally off, then on. When I got back to my desktop, I noticed every so often my screen would flicker. Happens in games too. Playing CSGO it will occasionally glitch out of a split second. It's seems like texture corruption. It happens, I would say, once every 10 minutes or so, for a split second.
I hope that powercut hasn't damaged my card.
