puffwagon I generally get a pc built and never really touch it. but this case now has a clear side so though have a little fun with it. hence asking a simple question haha

[Puffwagon]

All good mate. They are easy to work on and you should have no trouble working out what you need to do with your fan.

[Rab]

Did you play with lego or duplo or blox as a kid?

 

If Lego then you'll have no trouble

 

If Duplo you should be ok, but ask for help with anything you're not sure of

 

If Blox then just buy a Mac and say that it's pretty and awesome because you may have trouble once you unscrew the case

[bossmang]

3 fridges

numerous computers

dishwasher

[bloodycrashboy]

so I ran firestrike @Puffwagon

first score I got 10016 at stock

second score 10940, that was with 400 MHz increase on memory & 150 MHz increase on the core

 

I used MSI Afterburner, seems to work better for me than Evga Precision

Sweet. I'm pretty sure my first scores were about this.

 

I ran mine stock this evening and got this http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/16326110?

 

I tried some oc'ing and got this http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/16326282? +80 on core for a total of 1534 Mhz and +575 on memory for 4179Mhz.

 

I have had a better result but not many gains for a lot more heat and stress. I think my mobo has issues for other reasons.

 

I was considering another 980 ti but after having 2 r9 290x's in crossfire (over 18000 in firestrike) I felt wary about an sli or crossfire config as there was constant stuttering and crashing issues.

 

I think I'll wait a few generations before I upgrade again.

Whoops I was running the gpu z render test in the background with those scores! I'm sure it didn't affect it much.

so I noticed that my motherboard ram was only running stock  @ 1600 MHz, changed bios setting to XMP which bumps up the ram to 2100 MHz and run firestrike again, got a score of 11055.

so system memory speed has quite a large impact

My memory is rated to 2400 but it won't run there no matter what I do.

 

It seems like the best compromise where I have it all set now.
