For the fans, I think Lian Li make some PCI bracket mounted 120mm fans for such situations ;)

Not push that 2700K higher? voltage dependant you may well manage well over 5ghz which should tip you over the 11K mark on physics.

Does the LN2 bios on the 680 LTG offer anything? Its pretty much a dead end on the 7970 version unless you have access to the specially coded AB Extreme for higher voltages, iirc the highest anyone has taken one is something stupid like 1.8v for an 1800mhz core.

At 5.2+ that 2700k should net him over 12k on the Physics. See below!

I never did (unfortunately) bench 3dmark above 5ghz on my 2600K, a shame as I could do 5.4ghz under 1.5v.

Would appear thats how to close the gap on the hex cores :)
 
@Gregster... can u add my new scores to the tables please.. thanks :)

Score
P9771 3DMarks

Combined Score

geeman1979.. my 2700K @5GHz got 11805 Physics Score when i overclocked my RAM to 1866 (9-10-9-27 1T) so i'm sure 5.2 is gona pass the 12K mark.

I might clock my CPU to 5.1-5.2 just so i can hit that P10xxx score :p I have room for improvement on my GPU as all my scores have pretty low volts or stock volts.. this run the core is only at 1.19v. Just waiting for new drivers as it seems with these i'm using my 7950 just dont like the voltages going above 1.2v.. yet to mess with the memory volts too :)

Edit.. Oh and the weather is way too hot for overclocking at the moment :(

Used 3960X's are going for around retail price of a new 3930K. I probably won't do it tbh, will wait patiently for IB-E, plus once I (hopefully) get this 3820 around the 5ghz mark I should be around the 12.5K mark on physics.

I would never go near a used 3960X. The reason being a lot of people using them are putting all sorts of vcore thru them.

What I find interesting is the person at the top of the 3dmark11 hall of fame is using an i7 3930k.

I'd bench at a higher cpu speed but I'm a massive noob at cpu overclocking. Only really got into pcs in feb this year So I've got catching up to do. Tbh I'm more interested in aesthetics than I am performance. Although benching gets addictive every so often ;).

atm 4.8 is stable at 1.38v and tbh I don't want the volts any higher, even for short-term benching, as this mobo/cpu combo is going to be my folder when I upgrade. Plus I can't afford to brick it as I need it for uni.

Not sure whether to go X79 or stay on Z77. Not many x79 boards take my fancy tbh..

aaaaand you've just beaten 8 Pack :o

Edit: Just so you know the Lightnings have an aluminium plate covering the memory, vrm's etc... you can leave this on with a universal waterblock and just add a fan to cool the rest of it ;)

Incorrect my benchmark scores I posted previously 13710.

I can beat that score with a GTX580 and 5 plates on my back.
