Graphics score is almost where one of my max OC'd 980s hits. 15000 at stock I think, so not bad at all.


The 980's OC like a boss, Like you showed me somewhere in this thread. My best FS score while OCing with dual 970's. Looks like the fury will be a beast.

Yeah, although they're getting a nice boost with DX12 as well as it utilizes more cores, supposedly a very nice boost for those still on the FX.

Skylake August 5th.

Turning off freesync before running the test would be important though.


O wow didn't know that. I guess my monitor was disabling it during 1080p. Still scoring about 400 points lower but it's probably due to different drivers.

Alright guys, here's what I've got in my cart and am going to be ordering soon. If y'all could take a look at it and tell me if I'm missing anything or would be better served by getting something different, I'm all ears.

Alright, now here's what I've got. If I could get something cheaper or anything just let me know. Just trying to get an idea of how much I'll be paying for this thing.

Is there a reason you're going with that cooler? And unless you have blu ray movies on hand, you won't need that blu ray drive. The internet is your friend for blu rays

Not specifically, I just loaded one up. Do you still have that SSD you wanted to sell?

Go with the UD5 if you plan to overclock

Is overclocking worth it?

I don't know about that... I'd say anything in that $100-140 price range would allow for pretty easy, free performance that doesn't require a lot of fine tuning of voltages. Given the cooler choice (or any other cooler choice in that price range, including the hyper 212), a higher-end motherboard isn't going to make a difference here.


Other notes:

Get this faster RAM: LINK

Don't waste your money on a $100 Rosewill PSU just because it's Gold rated. This one is better and cheaper: LINK

ILikeLSUToo....quick question

I'll the BSOD every so often when I expand a youtube or steam video. If I just run the vid it's fine, but when I open to full screen it will BSOD. Not every single time, but maybe half the time. Any tips on what I can check out?

I checked google but I find you to usually to be a more knowledgeable and trustworthy source
