  1. Like I said few pages before. It's not like people have 980Tis laying on the table but are just too lazy to bench them.

     

    There are a lot of other factors which also contribute to the whole "problem". Mainboard vendors made it really easy to overclock CPUs. All important features are included. No need to modding anything. If a CPU dies you can just RMA it.

     

    However, nvidia is blocking OC completely. Not sure if I would mod my new 980Ti and if it dies I lose 800€. Hardmod = no RMA.

     

    What we see today is the result of the whole industry. Not just "the evil bot"

     

    What you've basically outlined here is mostly why I don't do the more modern GPUs. Its so much cheaper to pick up some used 3000-5000 Series ATi/AMD GPUs (likewise with Nvidia) and play and not worry about them dying like you would, as you say, a 980Ti. No way would I v mod anything like that lol Not that I've Hard Mod anything yet, but again older gen stuff is the best, imo, place to start that.

     

    I do prefer the 3D stuff more than the 2D, but I don't pay as much attention to the points but I will look to see what I can do point wise with the CPU I have available to run. Doubt I'll be doing much Vantage as you seem to need a crazy fast 4C/8T CPU to compete with the Extreme edition CPUs lol

  2. 4770K has arrived mate, hopefully have it all setup on Sunday.

     

    You just ordered the best 4770K's I've ever seen. You gotta get LN2 on that beast!

     

    Wish I had the means for LN2, best I can do for now is Dry Ice, be running Phase 1st though :)

  3. Chips posted! Matt, special delivery, have it tomorrow dude.

     

    Nice one! My Z97X SOC arrived today too!

     

    Did you get that 4770K under cold at all? I'll be putting it under Single Stage Phase myself, poss Dry Ice if I order some
