What Are You Running?

[Birds]

Was just saying the EVO pro is $40 more for around same size; only difference is the pro will preserve data for 60-70 years vs 17-20 for the standard EVO.

I'm free tomorrow if you wanna tackle it then?

I had no issues with MSY over a dodgy power supply, they tested it in store and agreed it was faulty. Have had 2 Cooler Master PSU die, so upgraded to an Antec High Current gamer which is mint.

[Birds]

From what I'm reading on forums, most issues with MSY surround customer service in initial sales at particular outlets, i.e. usually noobs not having a clue what they are buying and walking in looking for the Harvey Norman experience. It's just an in and out parts supplier and that's why they are cheaper than anyone else / popular with a lot of computer techs.

There have been issues with warranty dealings in the past, but the ACCC cracked down on them hard and fined them big for it a few years ago.

I can't speak from much from personal experience...it wouldn't matter anyway, cause everyone seems to have their own good or bad story and it seems to differ from store to store...but the guy I dealt with yesterday was pretty friendly, even carried some stuff out to my car for me. And that's how I like to shop...no fuss, no upselling or anything...just go in there knowing what you want and come out with it.

[HR31_RB20DET]

Bingo, exactly how I like to shop too.

ive had no issues with bootup and have tried 50+ games

main issues are SLI/Crossfire as there is alot of games that dont support it.. like the new need for speed for instance

You say that but ive never had a problem with sli?? not once

Unr33l: those are some impressive scores for single card, nearly as much as my gtx 680 sli!???

[BrynDETT]

16879

sli gtx680 4gb at +150core, +300mem

cant remember cpu speed, was probably 4.8ghz

i gotta go pub now haha, ill try get some more points laters

[HR31_RB20DET]

I've had issues with some games using sli in the past, so I've stayed with a single card since.

PC built! Fk it's quick to assemble them these days. Everything so modular and easy. Windows installation / boot up on SSD is a joke too. Thanks to Leigh for helping me with it!

Now to wore up the peripherals and get dat 3dmark score.

No worries brah! half of it was already build don't forget!

Yeah run 3dmark 11 it's what most people use, my guess is around 11,000 ish given your GPU not quite as good as what I had in it CPU / physics will be practically the same just the graphics score will change a bit.

dat gigabyte windforce, good looking card - still love my reference card 'geforce gtx' glow though

no problems, just a lot of games dont utilise both cards. When I was running SLI downloaded some tool that optomises it (and had some effect on games that didnt use it)

[BrynDETT]

well.. tried to run 3dmark last night but couldent .. cpu was overheating, so this arvo got some beers and set too.. cleaned everything, the rad was blocked BAD lol. and applied new thermal paste to the cpu die and the ihs, has been 5 months since i de-lidded it..

EDIT: just made some more points

Recently got a MSI Twin Frozr R9 280X but I think my 955 is now a bottleneck

Though the cooler/fans for the graphics card are brilliant and now have removed the 2x12cm fans I had on the side panel so the whole system is quieter now.

now you just need to upgrade those 680s to 780s

[Birds]

2 x 770 = $800

2 x 780 = $1200+

Saw an SLI Titan setup the other day...fkin crazy lol

[Birds]

Think I might go SLI Quaddro K6000 when I get my full ATX case...
