Also would like to add thanks guys for the comments last time .

specs in your sig alone will not do.

please edit your post to include them

Turn the second fan on the cpu cooler round and hide that wire better.

Also the psu is the wrong way up

Looks good other than that though

 

[yassarikhan786]

A bit of cable tidying and reversal of the PSU should do the trick

Looks pretty nice But yeah add in specs

Nice man, I'd just tidy up those fan cables a little bit, other than that she's a beauty. What OC did you get on the GPU and CPU?

It's all personal preference, there's no right or wrong way up. Just cause TTL says it HAS to be fan side up doesn't mean it's gospel. Some people like it that way.

Doesn't let me edit for some strange reason there's no "Edit" button, just multi quote, quote and quick reply.

Yeah I got to 4.2 GHz in my i5 3570k with really good temps stays at 55C on prime95 and around 45 while I'm gaming. Also for my GPU I got it to +120 on core and +600 on mem so 1250/7200. Seems pretty decent but other people have gotten over 1300+ so I'm a bit disappointing but it's still a fast card .

 

[jamesriley94]

Can push higher than 4.2ghz with that cooler
Should get to 4.5ghz easily enough

Specify the specs in a new post and a mod will add it to the OP

Damn, what did you use to OC it? I have the same Gigabyte 670 OC and am using EVGA Precision X and i've only got +65 on the core for 1045. :/

I use MSI Afterburner, after I setted my OC just ran Unigen on highest settings and checked if it was stable hopefully you get a high overclock .

A little off topic, but i'll post it anyway as it's still related: for stress testing a GPU, I've found that running Unigine 'open and run' style is more demanding. I had a higher failure rate when I was going for my 'top' clock, and my temps are higher than when I max it out also.

I would but it was a piss take to install that 2nd fan I almost pulled my heatsink off the mobo lool.

Yup, I saw someone saying that if Unigine passes the benchmark then games will be stable 99% of the time.

 

[jamesriley94]

You could still hide the cable better. Run it down the side of the fan or something, just not across the top of the heatsink
