Up to 4.4 on cpu, but running into heat thresholds.
(I'm stress testing cpu with both cards being fulling stressed @ the same time, AIDA64)

I really didn't 'NEED' an upgrade, but I'm trying to get the wife into FFXIV, so I 'gave' her my old computer (had to stick it into a pink case) and built myself a new beast.

It had a 5ghz i7 Sandy Bridge under water, except I moved the liquid system to my new comp, and gave her air, so back down to 4.3ish, didn't push it much.
It's got a single 780 Asus Direct CU II
8gb memory @1600mhz

Flaming pink wife's comp:

Now for my beast!

Got new stuff in mail...

Started to strip out the cages and such to make more room

Mocking up rads and mathing out what fittings I was going to need

Tight fit... but got them monsters in there! With push pull fans....
The front one is a 80mm Monsta, and the top one is a 50mm Koolance rad.

At this point I was waiting for my 2nd 780 and waterblock to come in the mail

Soooo, I decided to sleeve my cables!

2nd card got here, got the waterblock on it, and more sleeving!

Backside

And after priming the system, letting the air work out of the system for a day or so... time to start ocin'!

JesseL reacted to BernardoSLR in MSI's New Gaming Laptop: MSI's Answer to the Razer Blade Pro August 6, 2013

TBH the razer blade pro doesn't impress me at all. The same goes with this laptop. If you can fit that hardware in a 14'' laptop, why not put a 780M in a 17'' one for example? Why stick with the same hardware? Impressive would be putting a 780M and keep the laptop thickness... Or slimness I should say.
