    That's why people buy reference cards to overclock in general.
    Aftermarket ones just change their pcb and use a bettter cooling, allowing them to overclock it a bit better.
    Also sometimes some useful gimmicks like dual bios can be included too.

    Oh wow, let me reinforce that I did not said that in an offensive way, or at least not my intention.
     
    Just google took kinda the wrong approach to the glass idea, but people are putting a tough wall to make it harder. I do think tho it will happen and become a standard someday, but I would expect it in 20~30 years from now.
    And if what you call "sense of security" means "I don't want strangers to record me" you should not leave your home...and even at home be careful with what you have inside, since even mobile cameras can be use, just less sneaky.
     
    tl;dr if people want to record you they will and if people want to distract themselves while driving they also will

    People are way too conservative to accept something like this anytime soon, we need to wait for the majority of old fashioned generation to die basically, or it will just get banned as long as people think they may be getting recorded my opinion.

    The goal for this build was to be completely and absurdly overkill for everything my friend can throw at it.  He has more than enough money to build this and not bat an eyelash. He is a 3d designer by trade, and plans on getting into 3 printing as well. Please keep all the comments about how overkill this is out of this thread.  We don't care.  We've heard it.  We know it's obscenely overkill.  Neither of us care.
     
    I planned the final details on this forum and if anyone is curious, here is the thread.
     
    With that said, I've been planning this build with my friend for over 2 months.  I'm sure there will be things that we planned wrong, or chose the wrong part.  We're both expecting to have to return parts and switch them.  I'll be documenting the progress of the build.  I know this thread will be a popular one, so I'll lay out our timetable so people don't go crazy wondering when the next update will be.
     
    The build will consist of 3 phases with 1-2 weeks between each phase for planning, part fabrication, etc.
    Phase 1: Aircooled build - Just get all the hardware running, playing nice, do burn ins, and make sure the system is stable.
    Phase 2: Clean up - Make the build pretty, get everything put in to place, all hardware mounted where it belongs for phase 3.
    Phase 3: Watercooling - Take the pretty to the next level, and make this rig silent with a fully custom watercooling loop.

    For 1080p, you will prolly see a increase of average 10 fps maybe, depending on your setup.
    Higher res than that, 280x will suffer a bit, so R9 290 is the way to go. 
     
    You can also go check benchmarks on those two gpu's if you want to be sure about this.

    Haswell-E Pre-order Prices Released

     
      
    With Intel enjoying a slight uptick in PC revenue in its latest quarterly earnings, and the PC gaming market proving to have longer legs than expected, the chip giant is showing that it can still wring profits from desktop PCs. Its upcoming Haswell-E processors should continue its dominance of the high end of the desktop CPU segment when they are rumored to start shipping in September.
     
    As is often the case with anticipated tech products, some online retailer or another lets the cat out of the bag early when it comes to important details, like pricing or release date. That's just what has happened with Haswell-E, as the website for Bottom Line Telecommunications has listed the three new processors for pre-order in advance of the competition.
    The cheapest of the trio is the Core i7-5820K, a six-core chip running at 3.3GHz with 15MB of L3 cache, which ShopBLT.com is selling for $425.92. Next up is the i7-5930K, which also includes six cores and 15MB of L3 cache, but has a clock speed of 3.5GHz and a pre-order price of $631.54. The "K" at the end of the product name indicates that the CPUs include an unlocked multiplier to ease overclocking. 
     
    Last, but certainly not least, is the new flagship processor for Intel, the i7-5960X Extreme Edition. It's the first eight-core desktop chip for Intel, even though rival AMD has had "octo-core" processors for years (and Intel has also produced eight-core — and higher — Xeon chips for enterprise systems), and it promises to replace its i7-4960X predecessor as the world's fastest desktop CPU.
     
    While each core will run at "only" 3GHz, the i7-5960X will come with a hefty 20MB of L3 cache. All three of the Haswell-E processors will make use of DDR4, the next generation of RAM that promises to be a faster, more efficient performer than DDR3 memory.
    Intel's longtime strategy with its top Extreme Edition processor is to price it no lower than $999 — and the i7-5960X pricing does not appear to deviate from that tactic. In fact, the pre-order price for the eight-core chip is well north of $1,000 at $1,107.83. This shouldn't come as a big surprise, however, given the novelty of the additional two cores and "latest and greatest" premium that is often attached to these type of products.
     
    As the rumored launch date approaches, other online retailers may also put the Haswell-E processors up for pre-order, at which time we can determine if BLT's prices are on the high end or are representative of what the going rate will be for the new chips. Are you planning on upgrading to Haswell-E for your desktop?
