Nice gear mate.. Dont stress it too much with that stock heatsink..

Edit..

What are your ssd speeds like ?

 

[Cru]

nice build
hope that stock cooler won't stay on there too long

135MBS write 540MBS read tbh its fast enough for some reason shutdown takes about 4x as long as a startup litrally i can start up in under 10 seconds but shutdown takes 40 to 45 seconds..

nice build

3 weeks until ill have cash again but will be buying a corsair h80i
ill post pics and an update once i get it all installed will also see if i can get a 4.2ghz overclock

oh you'll get better than 4.2. a lot better.

 

[The Orange One]

Looks Great so far mate!
Looking forward to see the h80i installed

lovely rig mate! Can't wait to see what kind of clocks you get on the 7950 and the 3570k!

lovely rig mate! Can't wait to see what kind of clocks you get on the 7950 and the 3570k!

7950 windforce is already factory overclocked so i wont touch it, but the cpu im planning a 4.2ghz daily use clock which i think is plenty as currently on stock it turbos to 3.8 and its already about 500x faster than my old q6600 rig lol

 

[FredEx]

Great to see it all finally coming together. It will be really sweet with the H80i in it. Screw that, it is sweet already, it kicks game ass!

thanks fred and when you get yours you will have nearly the same spec as me and yours will too

 

[UkGouki]

just got my crysis 3 code will post back bench result once all installed

well that went well had to lower a few settings to get a decent playable fps so have fxaa on and everything else on ultra smaa killed it less than 25fps.. but fxaa smooth as silk 45fps min max was 77fps average 56fps then i reran it with vsync on and it seemed alot smoother min was 37fps max 60fps vsync locked and average was 56 again im happy with that..

Great specs on this. Have you tried undervolting your CPU given that you are using the OEM heatsink? Just added insurance 'till you get that H80i installed ;-).

7950 windforce is already factory overclocked so i wont touch it,

you better touch it! you better touch it all over it's body! Thats one of the few 7950's left that has unlocked vcore (i think)

no need with power saving features on balanced its at 0.985v in cpuz at x16 multi when it turbos to x38 multi it goes to 1.05v my case keeps it cool enough and the intel heatsync for a stock clocked cpu isnt as bad as people think

 

[Mgutierrez33]

ah, nice! Never said it was BAD per say... just not aftermarket, which makes it "un-cool" x-). With voltages like that you prolly got a gem of a CPU there (assuming everything remains stable as you go forward with overclocking when you decide to).

 

[yassarikhan786]

Very nice to see it all built up

 

[UkGouki]

Very nice to see it all built up

thanks fella its been briliant so far one thing that gutted me.

[leathart123]

looks a good build

 

[UkGouki]

looks a good build

thanks and yes i love it even my wife loves it and my kids for there games ive ran into some snafus but all easily fixed crysis 3 crashed to desktop but tombraider did aswell just lower a few settings and then it was perfect

 

[UkGouki]

news in approx a week ill finally have my cooler sorted then i can start overclocking amd god bless them sent me a 2nd bioshock key so i gave it to a person who helped me a ton on here and i believe deserved it.

your welcome Josh Weston enjoy the game its wicked awesome
