Not having much luck here are you?
I generally upload large pictures using the source image link and just give the link instead of resizing and putting them into the forums.
Apologies on me being a noob here
they are sorted now, re-sized them in imgur so everything is ok. Thanks for all of the help guys!

Looking good mate.

Since we're posting our fancy rigs
Chucked a 7990 in here last night.
Sadly, I prefer my 7970 xfire setup and will probably be switching back.

You'd be my hero Pete if you kept the 7990 and went with a red theme. #dreamy
Still looks mint though tbf. ^

No love for the 7970's? 
I reckon there are already enough red/black builds to go around
Btw, this might have managed a TR bench @1225, but Bf4 doesn't like anything above 1150. The 7970's can do BF4 @1250 (and probably more) all day long.
Do I need all that performance at 1080p/60? No, but if you could, you would. Right?

What kind of temps do you get Petey?

No we spit on 7970's here Pete.
Just kidding nice clocks. Don't even know why you'd overclock at 1080p in BF4, just not demanding enough to waste the gpu energy.

I'll take that rubbish thing off your hands
Sadly Petey would rather have a couple of 7970 poodles than a thoroughbred pedigree 7990.

Nice case, is it the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2?

Not bad Smogs you dirty rat. You need to sort that sag out though. If you had the pci-e cables coming in from above the gpu you could maybe pull them tight to help with the sag. Looks nice though, gotta love an open window.

heres mine

Mine sags quite a bit too, though not as bad as my 6990 with Arctic cooler did 
I was going to buy one of those PowerColor Power Jacks but I don't think they extend long enough.

Mine does sag a bit, but i propped it up by having tight PCI-E cables so now its straight, or almost straight. I wonder if thats why (along with my almost identical asics) my core temps are identical.
@terminator very nice!

At idle there's around 8C difference between my cores. Could be causing it I suppose.
My ASIC's are 67% and 62%.

Get on it son.
fixed.
undone it lifted it slightly to high done it up tight sagged to where it supposed to be. for security moved the power cables around pulling it up slightly
Good lad.

My ASIC's stand at 59.2 and 64.5. Currently at idle they sit 6c apart. Under load, the lower ASIC gpu (gpu1) storms ahead and the gap gets large, as it starts hitting a point where cooling starts controlling it, gpu2 temps start to catch up and the gap hovers between 9-12c. This is something I am pleased with, considering it was a gap of 15-39c previously, depending on fan speed.
