Thanks guys. Yeah Neil. It seems I got a older batch chip but I'm very happy with temps. Did a slight oc to 4.5 without volts and its very cool. 4790k is very fast on stock

 

[RetrogamerX]

Very nice setup, im also done I will post pics up tomorrow. Love the new cpu and titan blacks

mmmmmmmm Titan Blacks

 

[RetrogamerX]

Must say Retro , that is one tidy sweet build there buddy. hats off to you mate. Love the co-ordination of colours and those cards fit in perfectly.

kudos.

Thanks mate

 

[RetrogamerX]

Thanks, temps are very good actually. I've ran heaven for 2 hours and top card was 70c, bottom card 64c. It helps if you have a good airflow in your case.

Hmm, I am now torn between whether to get the same 2 760s that you have in your rig or go with a single 780ti.

I think they will offer roughly the same performance in 1440p gaming but the 760s have 4gb of video memory vs the 3gb on the Ti's.

I guess it boils down to whether the games I will play will want 4gb. I know watchdogs on the PC uses more than 3gb. Could be a continuing trend for future console ports?

£460 for SLI, roughly the same price as a single 780 Ti. What to do!!!

edit: Those ROG 760's do look the business though as well.

Yes mate. They look amazing and that was the main reason why I bought them. More for my theme and game play. They OC like beasts too.

I hear at 1440p with the 256bit bus hurts them a little, but I've played the new Tomb Raider at 1440p and it ran great. No issue. Just make sure you have good airflow in your case.

Great looking build there mate

Cheers Boom

I hate to rma anything. the 450d isn't the greatest case for airflow, but my top card 70c is pretty good,but when gaming temps are low 60's with a fan curve.

 

[RetrogamerX]

This is 1st time I've had to do it , and I already hate it haha I'm just glad I have xfire so I can still play on my pc because I've heard it can take quite a while

My RMA's with OCUK and EVGA are very quick. others are not so. Agree having xfire or slips great because if you do have to rma at least you have 1 card to pay with still

 

[RetrogamerX]

Look very nice build, love the lighting effects

Cheers matey

 

[RetrogamerX]

Awesome looking build there you have

Also does the corsair logo on the h105 light up like the h100i?

Yes mate. The 105 is a nice white light. Not like the crappy LED light they use on the H100i. I've been through 5 H100i's and all had LED failure. It also happens on the H80i too? That's why I went for H105.

Looks very nice fella ... shame you need that mechanical drive though, would look a lot cleaner with the 3.5" cage out and would certainly free up a lot of the airflow from the bottom front intake fan.

I thought that too, but I need the storage. I am using a Samsung 500gb SSD for OS. That's installed in the back. Maybe next build. Cheers
