Welcome to the ROG forum!

Nice built you have there... I specially like that carbon fiber thing...

And nice 3DMark11 score! I feel, I've got challenged... I have the Asus version of that card... - one of these days will have to try it with the 3770k... :cool:

Thank you!:) It's 3M Carbon Di-NOC sticker.

Thanks, I wanted to buy Asus GTX 670 DirectCu II Top but I wanted the cooler to blow out hot air out of the case so I bought EVGA version with GTX 680 PCB and cooler. I have OC'ed the GPU from 1085Mhz up to 1197Mhz. I've tried higher but it was unstable:(

Well good luck and have fun with overclocking stuff!

Very good images and nice build.

To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

I see... indeed, the Asus DCII cards are blowing hot air on their side... - at least the GTX560 Ti DCII TOP and the GTX670 DCII TOP sure does...

For me, it's fine as I'm using them now on a TestBench (link in my signature)...

And yeah, OC'ing is fun! :cool:

Vhus3 · ‎09-15-2012

Yep, Asus cards blowing air on their sides. Maybe next time I will get Asus graphic card:P Well for this referrence cooling on idle I have 26C on load (BF3 online) max temperature I had 67C. I think it's not that bad.

Nice TestBench you have there:) I see that you using G.Skill Trident X, how is it so far? I wanted to get it too but somehow I ended up with Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz...

At the moment I'm saving money for "real" watercooling kit.

Zka17 · ‎09-15-2012

Thanks! Those TridentX kits are amazing! Specially for higher memory speeds... when you're going lower with frequency, they won't like very tight timings though... - like for 1600MHz it's really hard to get them stable below CAS=7... but that's may be also because of my 3770k's IMC too...

Vhus3 · ‎09-15-2012

Interesting... Well I'll get Trident X next time. Still wondering If they gonna show DDR4 next year but I heard that DDR4 will be available for server first...:( That means for normal computer will be in 2014 I guess.

Zka17 · ‎09-15-2012

I think, DDR4 will require different CPUs... but will see...
