Are you going to give it a go on air or are you going to wait for the water blocks.

I wanted to set it up last night, so I stripped all my computer down (I need to RMA my Asrock board also) last night, took of my Gelid Tranquilo cooler and thought I better check it fits first...Looked on google and it isn't compatible with 2011 sockets :( so cleaned all my comp back up and put it all back in for 2 days worth of gaming.

LT: DR

I will be going straight to water. I am pretty confident and will only be shaking when I do a test (Leakage test with only the pump connected).

I will be doing a build log in the water cooling thread but will still post a few pics here. I hope delivery will be quicker tomorrow though, as the DPD man turned up with a different parcel 10 mins ago :(

Also, to note (in case anybody thinks it is), I bought the 3930K as I am bottlenecked in some games with 2x680's @ 5760*1080. In BF3 for example, my GPU's will only run to a max of 85%. This isn't so much a problem I couldn't live with but I am a big FSX fan (thanks to Soya's amazing pics) and it runs like a dog with any kind of settings maxed. After investigation, it runs very nicely on the 3930K chip and as I see one for sale in the MM at a fair price, I bought it :)

I set this thread up for comparisons and a bit of banter between forum users. I feel it does that, as when you look at the GPU scores only, most of the time it is like for like but when you look at the "P" scores, there can be massive differences because of CPU's.

Anybody wishing to upgrade can now see what to expect and can ask the person who posted a relevant score questions, which may help.

As you say its all about a bit of fun and banter. Theres a few benchmarks I have avoided putting on here like a single GTX 690 (theres no point theres plenty on here allready) and I still have the slowest err GTX 680 in the table.

I have found this thread really useful for AMD cards I don't know a lot about them but I have learned a lot.

I wouldn't say plenty! I for one would be interested in what scores you got with a single 690 with that 3960 as a comparison.
