Under volting should be your friend, even while overclocking.
Dunno, going to add an intake to the bottom of the case and see how it affects temps. Not a fan of undervolting can seem stable in some games then when you play something more demanding it can go to pieces.
Caporegime
Nah, not if you know what you're doing. OCCT error checking will weed out any unstable clocks/voltages. The biggest problem i find is unstable 2d voltages. I could run my cards with even lower voltage than i do now. Stable under load but flickering at desktop thanks to offset 2d voltage dropping too low. You'll get cooler gpu's and a lower fan profile if you undervolt.

Good choiceI very happy with this configuration and even in future will be base my next build around something.
Yeah I'm just kind of reluctant because I only have a 3750k and it's a lot to spend on a motherboard. Although it's at 4.6 and about 60 degrees and it's struggled in very few games only monsters like crysis 3 have been an issue. The 3770k will get put on the back burner for a few months.

Still looking for a resolution on why my fan speed isnt showing on the MSI AB overlay, despite me enabling it. Any ideas? It just shows 0%
Caporegime
Erm, not sure what to suggest snips. Are you using the latest version of AB? Show me your afterburner settings, fan settings and the main window of the program itself plox.
Broken sensor ? I get fan speed % but not fan tachometer this shows 0 constant.
Soldato
The report on the MSI AB graph is showing the correct usage as it is in GPUz, so not really sure where too look next.
Soldato
hmmm....maybe I should look at adjusting the overlay settings. In all honesty I'm not 100% sure which one works, but since you've mentioned that % gives no readout, mine could well be the same.
Caporegime
I get the same, no 'RPM' readout from the fans, i have always used % anyway, it telling me 1479 RPM doesn't tell me anything, but it telling me 45% lets me know they are running at just under half of full speed.
Caporegime
I assumed he meant fan speed percentage not the rpm. 
I don't get it either on my reference cards. I use afterburner to monitor fan speed.

You "don't get it either on my reference cards" in what? GPU-Z?
This is what i see.
Caporegime
Yes i don't get it in gpu-z, but it does work in afterburner using the Tachometer or whatever it's called.
Soldato
Same here guys GPUz only shows % not sure about Afterburner. But Hwinfo64 shows them both RPM and %

Sold one of my 7990s so i'm back running three reference 290s again
Don't even need to overclock them, everything runs so smooth, happy days.
Just need to get water blocks on them and i'm done for a year or so I think (famous last words)
