I want to see what this bad boy can do, have you considered sending it sub-zero to see how far it will go? Hell I would happily throw a few bucks towards the gear to see what it can pull on LN2.

 

Don't think I will be doing any LN2 cooling, on this rig as this is my daily driver...

 

Done a bit of LN2 quite a few years ago, so would not mind getting into it again, was good fun... Lots of cool cooling pots these days so its never been easier... still have my old BOC Dewar  :D

I love how all the Intel fanbuoys and general haters jump on the bandwagon to pinch in their sour opinion. It's funny as much as it's sad.

@Spannerhands it's people like you who make these forums worthwhile, thank you for sharing your experiences, and staying (reasonably) calm and unbiased. Balls to you!

Holy s***t man, I've seen smaller rads on cars, and I'm not even joking. Is that a triple 360? IS IT GONNA BE ENOUGH? xD

But more important, nobody cared to ask the most important quetion: "That's fine 5.5GHz and all... but can it run Crysis?"

You joking right you know AMD's cant run Crysis,You need a 4770K for that..

 

Mate mainly this is going to be my balls out  minesweeper rig B) ... and if I brake the 5.5 barrier maybe even solitaire who knows...

 

PS I if that rad does not do it I could always get another one  :D

Where are you going to put that rad? Its big enough where you could frame it, put it on a wall, and glue/tape a printout of some famous artwork on it, and call it a day

Quick Update.. 

 

Not long until we get to see what it can do....

 

MB Block has arrived from EK,  :D  Just waiting for a few small parts, now... should be here tomorrow!

 

Plan of action:

 

Friday Install Loop,

Saturday Test Loop, and stress test loop.

Sunday all out overclocking no holes barred post post results and hopefully not the death of a FX9590  :D
