    A close up at one of them, the sleeving job is just immaculate. The sleeve goes right into the motor :)

    I think these clamps work pretty well in kind of creating some form of organization haha

    Thanks for checking this update out!

     

    See you all in the next one :)

  2. The main thing I'm hoping to change on those boards is the rear I/O

    these boards are pre production. They have the solder points already there, if you look closely. They are simply missing the plugs.

  3. Anywhere from 80 to 160, depending on the map+ whats going on (80 being the absolute lowest, I probably average.. 120-130) when my new PSU shows up, numbers should change. My 12v rail on my hx1050 has terrible ripple, gaming or mining drops my 12v rail from 11.9v to 11.3v, I noticed while mining I drop from 750khash per card, to like 675 because of the ripple I think. I'm sure it effects my games too.

    I would avoid that 24 inch 4k monitor, I have a buddy that has the 31 inch asus one, he said it's amazing for games, but text is ridiculously hard to read and gives him a headache after awhile. I'd imagine 24 inch would be even worse, things would be absolutely tiny. He tried using that thing that makes text bigger (I can't remember the name) but said it was extremely glitchy.

    I was actually contemplating that 4k monitor too, I'm hoping they release some later this year that are affordable. I really want one.

    I filled out all the options for an s8 that I'd want, 475$ :( then again, it is all aluminum, no plastic xD

    Haha yea the price goes up with all the extras, but totally worth it.:)

  4. I know :(   It was stable 5 at 1.54 for like.. 30 hours of benchmarking+ prime95, but now it needs like 1.565, chip degradation OP. lolol.    I don't wanna push it anymore that high seeing how fast it degraded, makes me nervous even with intel's tuning plan.  My plan was to buy the 3970x off the forums, sell my 3930k+ tuning plan on ebay / the forums for like 350-400$ and hope for the best.

     

    Or I can just wait like 2 years for 5770k/6770k and just upgrade then.   I honestly don't really use my CPU to it's potential much.  The most intensive thing I do everyday is play bf4 @ 1440p lol.

     

    My original plan when I built it was to learn to use sony vegas/ after effects/ premiere etc. But I had no idea where to even start to learn, so I lost interest :/

    What kind of FPS are you getting on bf4 @ 1440p?

     

    I was thinking about getting that 24 inch 4k panel from dell. But kinda concerned about that 3GB frame buffer :/
