I have my 2006 DFI LanParty nForce 4 SLI DR Expert still running with an X2 4800+. I must be me but it OC's like shit and had stability issues from the start. The Corsair memory often won't activate. The drivers were never matured. And forget about a beefy newer gfx card, it will freeze. It was...

I was going to reply the same thing. Noctua coolers are among the current standards in performance. I mean benchmark wise.

Some photos modding the GP102 pcb with a Heatkiller IV blovk from Watercool.de I am still looking for a RGB solution for the block as it looks awesome with the transparent shroud.

These are the specs: Odessey Mk 2 born April 22 2017: Asus Maximus IX Extreme i7 7700K @ 5.2 GHz nVidia GP102 reference pcb with Heatkiller IV by Watercool.de @ 2050MHz Swiftech Maelstrom V2 / MCP50X G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB Corsair 900D, HX850i, K95, Scimitar Pro, MM800 EK Coolstream CE 2x...

Thx. I am now in the process of looking for rgb versions for the gfx waterblock, the two 3mm front bay LED's and the two 5mm reservoir LED. They are all white now and the goal is to have the entire system switch to any desired color. Once i find the LED function for the gfx card software (I...

I thought of putting this up on HardOCP as Kyle and his team inspired me to further "power" customize my pc's ever since i read the Swiftech mcx64 review. I do not own a car or anything that sinks money, except building pc's is a thing for me since i got my first custom built Pentium 60Mhz on...

Notice Chris Roberts has gained weight. Look up any interview from 4 years ago.

Thanks. I use a second hand 980X that replaced my 920. I use 1.30V for 4GHz.

I think my Asus P6T Deluxe V2 will die before the cpu will. I had such great experience with the platform since 2009 I bought a second hand X58 board. Also it will receive it's fourth gfx card upgrade.

I have an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 and recently installed an NH-D15s cooler. I was wondering what voltage you need for the 3.8Ghz. Mine did 3.8 but hot 85+C, that was on old cooler Mugen2.

Historically ATI/AMD cards get better with driver optimizations. It will probably only get better versus the 1060.

This makes me wonder if my non de-lidded 6700K has a bad connection with the die. I reapplied Gelid Supreme to my H115i block and cpu because i thought the thermal past was maybe not distributed well. When i run Realbench i still reach 80C on only 1.30V running 4.5GHz. This should be way lower...

I reverted back to the 1701 bios. Windows keeps reporting an unknown device. A motherboard that costed me € 360,- and all they mention in bios updates is improved stability. In my case the UEFI security prevented Windows 7 from booting and only later is read that i can turn that off wheres i...

Isn't it cool seeing the products for the first time and building your own rig. Some vendors really know how to market and design their products.

I'd say quality can only be improved on the reference cards and when you buy a ultra expensive card like the Titan X or a Quadro you would want to have the option of a better PCB and/or cooling.
