Kracken X61 AIO
16gb (2x8gb) Corsair vengence 3200mhz LED
R9 390X OC (waiting for Vega)
500GB Samsung 850 evo / 2tb hdd
750W Corsiar PSU

Very nice build, although i wouldn't be waiting for vega, that wait could be VERY long and VERY dissapointing.

Am waiting for Vega because, I have a freesync monitor. The R9 390 still has enough grunt to play my games in V high / Ultra... Am not in any hurry, i can wait the 2-3 months

Thanks, I did pretty well in the silicone lottery. I have the X61, I wish the X62 was out when i bought it, looks amazing

I'll post some pics when i find out how to lol.
5Ghz @ 1.3v, with 3 (300mhz) AVX negative offset... and a level 5 load line calibration for voltage stability.

Fantastic build mate. I like the desktop background too!!

In relation to stability, how is it performing with CPU intensive games? I am very jealous.... PC build is on the cards soon and I know my luck will not be in when it comes to the silicone lottery haha!

Thanks man!

It performs flawlessly! a slight fps increase in games from my i5 6600k @ 4.5ghz... but i managed 9600 score in 3dmark physics test with the 6600k.... but 16100!!! with the 7700k

video editing takes seconds, and i'm sure, when i get my new GPU it will help to squeeze all the fps out of it and wont bottleneck for a very long time

I was worried about the "dreaded" silicone lottery, but its the chance all of us PC nutters have to take... all i can do is wish you luck lol.... also the mobo plays a part... look for reviews on the mobo you like... i like OC3D on youtube, he reviews a lot of em... and the performance differences are quite striking!
