Overall I'm not impressed for a high end gaming motherboard. May just stick with the Hero.

I'm not going to let you slander me with all these accusations and then drop it. I said for the fourth time, are you out to bash the product? Magically to you that means I'm accusing you of bashing the product. Do I have to get a mod to recover my deleted post? I don't understand...

I agree with you about the thread creation you explode
I go back to delete my post at your request to let the thread die you explode
I try to get information to see where your coming from you explode
Ask if your bashing it you explode

From the very start you got emotional and upset with the whole "Feel free to ignore this thread if you find it annoying." just because I asked you a question. I just responded you to as calm and civil as I possibly could trying to stay on subject and explain myself in post #5 and you exploded yet again.

Geez ladies we're supposed to all be here because we are exited about a new product, not to bash each other. We're like a huge total of about 5 lurking/posting here. If 5 people can get along, no wonder countries are nuked....so much QQ.

Hello Everyone, I just built a new rig and wanted to get some advice. Here is the rig stats:

Corsair 650D case
Intel i7-4770K 3.5 OC'ed to 4.422
ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA LGA 1150 Intel Z87
2 NVIDIA GTX 680 04g-p4-2686 (SLI) 4 gigs of mem
GSkill F3-2400C10D-16GTX CL 10-12-12-31 1.65V
Corsair H100i cpu water cooler
Corsair 1050 watt PSU
Intel 520 series 120 gb SSD
Kingston Hyper 120gb SSD
WB Velociraptor 70 gb HD 10,000 rpm
Seagate 2tb hybrid ssd/reg Hard drive
Sony DVD read/write 40 speed
Logitech YUY-95 illuminated keyboard
Corsair M-60 mouse
Razor Nostromo mini keyboard
Creative Labs 7.1 T7700 speaker system
Cyber Power 850 AVR voltage regulator and power backup
Three Dell 24" monitors
TYKE 73B - Triple Monitor Stand Free Standing Curved Arm
OS= Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit


In the luck of the draw, I just happened to get a CPU that will only do 4.3 stable. I was thinking about selling it and buying some
type that is better, but on new egg, it says my LGA 1150 board already has the most expensive CPU that I am able to buy.

I sure wish I could use the Intel Core i7-4930K Ivy Bridge-E 3.4GHz LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80633i74930K
but I dont have a 2011 board.

I just received my second used GTX 680 in the mail a few days ago, and what a vast improvement over a single card, using my
three screen setup.



Playing BF4, with everything on ultra, I get 77-85 FPS with the two cards in SLI.

I guess I will just have to wait for a better CPU to come out, as there is nothing else I can buy and install.

I wish there was a place where you could buy pre tested i7 4770K cpu's that do 4.9 or 5 ?????

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Mike
