Damn I didn't even know 1600 Ghz memory even existed

Opps!! Sorry haha

It all good.

One recommendation, get them VRM's some cooling with that 5 ghz monster.

Plus you didn't need to buy the 9590 I have the 8350 and. I got it to 4.7 ghz, same as stock 9590

9/10

 

Was going to comment on the 9590 until I saw your reasoning  :lol:

 

Not that it's a bad CPU it's just that I would have gotten something different (8350 or i5-4690k).

Trust me it gets hot fast in my room, since im small apartment for college, but thankfully up north it gets cold, so an open window solves the problem but yet maintaining a decent temp.

Add 3 more 290x and put a custom loop. WE SHALL SPEND THE HOLIDAYS AT YOUR PLACE! No need for a fireplace, put your computer under a chimney while unigine heaven is running

It's alright. Just make sure you keep that CPU cool.

LOL, I dont think my place would last with 3 more 290x, melt the whole place does before anything happens.

You might end up being the savior of humankind from ice age. Do it for the vine!

8/10. You loose 2 points for not so sure choise of CPU, since you can use it for heating all top floor.

A new FX 8350 costs $169 on Amazon... He got that part new for $150 thanks to a deal.

Special offer? Throw it out the window. Too much heat.

[patrickjp93]

Get VRM cooling. Check around for the best current thermal pastes. Switching out what's used on VRM heatsinks can be very beneficial (coming from a guy who was at the top of overclocking and benchmark competitions in 2007-2008 and just tore apart the Q6600 build responsible). Literally this is the hottest chip and electrical setup in the world. Heed all cooling advice! Still, for the money, you'll be happy until you have to pay the electric bills yourself.

[Jgeorge610]

if its to hot, just down clock it to like 4.2ghz?

[don]

Great deal on that cpu, is that the gpu the tri-x?
