7950 - dont know why but my settings are showing up wrong - core clock 2000
memory clock 1795
amd 12.9 CCC hence the unapproved driver
and + 20% power on the ccc option
Now who's showing off
lol I couldn't not do a bench @ 5Ghz and sleep well tonight..It woulda chewed away at me Temps are crazy good at this speed also. Water cooling I can't believe I never did it before now.
Edit:
One thing puzzles me though and it must be AB reporting wrong but it is showing that neither GPU is hitting 99% and in fact the max usage is 70%-75%. Any thoughts on this guys?
does it also show that using gpu-z?
Rig is looking awesome Gregster. Glad you're pleased with the 3930K.

Roll on winter thats the nearest im going to get to a decent cooling system for a while.
Cheers Rusty.
Nice on getting that CPU to 5.0. Under water my temps sit around 62C @ 5GHZ. How was yours doing?
They get up to the low 70s @5.0ghz if I remember right. Thats not the real problem though Im more concerned with the heat geting to the VRMs.
If I were to go watercooled on my next build not only would there be less heat on the CPU, I could also have waterblocks for the mobo.
My little H100 does a reasonable job of cooling the CPU but unfortunately it does not do much for airflow on the mobo.
They are decent coolers with a good rep but you can't beat a good custom water cooled loop. I intend on staying with this build for a couple of years unless the next gen of GPU's bring something special to the gaming front. The CPU will last me a few years at least
