RMA submitted, should take two days for it to process

You have to update your signature. MoBo: None

Hopefully painting a mobo doesn't deny a warranty.

When I was leaving for work this morning I heard some weird ticking sounds coming from my machine. Going to be a long 8 hours

 

[Col. Gaspar]

If they deny the warranty I will just buy the Asus x99 Deluxe which is white and black and a 5960x. I was going to do that anyways in preparation for dx12 so why wait.

My only concern is if my PSU can handle the load. 850w was enough for this build but adding another 300w from the 5960x might be too much. I was going to buy one off the silicome lottery but they are all sold out.

850 would be cutting it close for comfort for me. 305W proc, 780tis can pull 650w

I got a x99 system sitting on my desk.

 

[Col. Gaspar]

I must oc the 5960x, it might do 4.4Ghz at 1.34 volts.... If I get shutdowns I will invest in a higher rated psu. Not looking to drop in a 1200w psu

Final verdict!

Because I painted my motherboard my warranty is null and void.

SO moving here forward I will be doing an all new build. All that will be saved is the case, pump and rads.

Later today I am going to list all my parts for sale. Ronins Will get free shipping and 10% off listed price.

Time to start saving for a 5960X and two Titan X video cards with all associated water blocks... this is going to be another $5,00 build in just over a year.... fuck and me

damn, you changed ur sig... forgot what you had again

 

[Col. Gaspar]

I decided, because of cost, to move to the z97 so I don't have re-buy an entire system.

I will be keeping everything minus the 3770k witch might be picked up by stable.

The 780Ti's will be available for another week here.

If they don't sell then I will give them to my brother for free.

I'll make a post in the marketplace in just a second.

Was hoping you were near a Microcenter since the 4790k is only $260
