You could have probably placed a stack of quarters on your cpu with a fan blowing over them and it would have cooled better than the stock shyt.. :russ:
Seriously.. That shyt used to idle at 50c sometimes. I just stopped the test after 1 hour and that shyt had no errors/warnings at the temp never went over 35c. :wow: It's also pretty cold in here so I imagine once I cut on the heat the temps might rise a bit but still. :wow:

overclock much?
Just what my bios overclock settings does. My 3770k at 3.9 ghz :manny:


Ive never really needed to overclock :manny: never had an issue with dipping below 60 fps on games except my last build which had crossfire 6870s but 1 card was bad.

Ive only tried to use crossfire once :patrice: horrible experience , waste of money pretty much :patrice: but with 670 GTXs only being $280 or so :patrice: im wondering if ill be going into the same mistake of SLIing 2x 670 gtx (both at 16x :jawalrus: ) or if I should just wait for 870 GTX thatll eventually come out around the time of TitanFall :patrice:
