^^ Thank you. I could not imagine that too. But I've heard from a few people. They said my CPU would bottleneck the 780s because it has "only" 4 Cores/8Threads

Those people aren't too bright...I mean if a 2500k doesn't bottleneck why would a 3820?

You could run 4 Titan Blacks on 2011 and it wouldn't bottleneck.

The point when people think that a socket 2011 CPU bottlenecks.....

Granted it's not the most powerful, but still.

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum
