Edited by Durandal_1707: 7/24/2013 8:21:32 AMPretty sure the card in the pic is a 560Ti... Those specs are awesome, though. One day, I'll drop some cash on a sexy ROG board... one day. The only thing that bothers me is your stock heatsink :P
-
I've never had an issue with a stock heatsink. My previous rig caught fire because of a faulty water cooling system and scorched my GeForce 580, my Rampage III Extreme motherboard, and my i7 980 processor. When people start putting on weird heatsinks, we get issues. If I find something I feel confident in, I'll get a new heatsink. But no issues so far!
-
Holy Hell. Can I ask what brand it was? Or was it a custom solution? You should be very safe with an air cooled system. I've never come across or even heard of any issues with aftermarket heatsinks (unless it's user error XD). It just struck me as very odd that you had an uber epic expensive board made for overclocking but had a stock heatsink. And also a 3770 instead of 3770K? I only just noticed the missing K... now I'm more confused :P
-
I forgot to add the K. Mine has the K! Anyways, I honestly don't remember the brand. I at least remember it not being Cosair or CoolerMaster. Picture is of my old motherboard, where I WOULD place my video card.

Edited by Durandal_1707: 7/25/2013 3:29:56 AMPoor 580 D: But yeah, that's crazy... not the first time I've heard of liquid coolers dying, though. How long did it last? Also, if you have the K and an ROG board, you should defintely get a nice cooler and OC. The system is begging for it! XD I'll have your ThunderFX if you don't want it hahaha
-
That rig was built in mid 2011, but I maintained it pretty well (well, I guess not, since it blew up). I gave my ThunderFX to my roommate who currently uses the living room TV as her monitor to play WoW (I live with nerds).
-
So when did it actually go boom? Your roomate knows what's up. Glad she's putting it to good use :P
-
A couple of months ago, actually. I was confined to my laptop for a few weeks while I figured out what I wanted to do for a new rig. My case and harddrives survived, thank goodness.
-
*looks at own liquid cooler slightly uneasily* So what actually caught fire?
-
Oops. Typo! And the temp card wasn't even mine. I've been using ROG motherboards for years. My model of the Maximus V came with this huge soundboard control thing I never use. If you like good sound, get the Maximus V formula. Otherwise, it's just as good as the top tier Maximus. It just depends on the features you want at that point.
-
Edited by Durandal_1707: 7/25/2013 2:51:32 AMAre you talking about software, or the onboard SupremeFX audio?
-
It's not the onboard thing. [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GPYT7Q/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1]This[/url] is what I got. The image is the external sound card (I derped on what it was called).
