Show me a site that has universally accepted GPU benchmark results.

They don't update the results once they have them, so all the results are a year+ old. They also don't specify the rest of the build used to do the benchmarking

Most if not all benches are on X58 or X79 systems. Intel gives pretty consistent and gets out of the way of GPU performance.

Sooooooooo tired. I am so GD busy right now that I barely have time to do anything but work. Hired some more people today though so hopefully I can catch up on my current contracts but I doubt it the way things are going and with new FHA regulations about to hit. Some companies are just throwing work at me every day and it looks to only get worse.

I haven't played a video game in over a month

Same here brother. My current project is in full swing with Phase 2 starting October 1st. My weekends have been mostly free but 12-13hr days which are filled with stressful meetings. Think I'm going to die before reaching 30.

Edit:
Stout

I know no gaming but how is the new build going?

Blue

I'm excited about this launch. It has been so long since the last AMD release. This hopefully push nVidia more but Maxwell is pretty much set with a January 2014 release.

I talked to Chris at FrozenCPU and asked about waterblocks for the R9 280X on launch day... He said they will EK blocks ready to ship on day 1.

I can't wait to go back to watercooling. I probably won't do it until christmas time or so (or whenever I have all the parts purchased by). After I buy whatever video card I buy, I'll start slowly grabbing the watercooling parts.

How do 200mm rads cool? I may have to do two 120mm rads and a 140 or 200mm rad to keep my 5.25" bay foe the res

I would think "good enough"

I'm putting a damn Daul 92mm and 120mm in the fractal for both CPU and GPU. So 1 200mm and 1 140mm should be fine for 2 blocks. The rule of thumb to always go by is 120mm per block. Your good...!

If there is any AMD fanboy who needs a R9 280 or 280X on release it is you Blue. The board needs to make this happen.

I've always heard 120mm per block plus one more is ideal. Thats the only reason why I chose the prodigy. I can very easily fit rads in it

Anyone know where I can get some rubber feet to put at the bottom of my case? I took off those ugly handles, but I need to raise the case up 1/2" or so to give my psu some breathing room

Frozencpu has a large selection.

Look under the seleint computing section. Maybe there are more in other sections on Frozencpu but start at selient computing.

Tbh you might want to try the Caselabs rubber case feet. Think they are $9.99+S/H. The CL feet look to be higher quality than those. Just an option to try out.

Edit:
Those aren't bad just giving other options.

I'm not too worried, $6 is more than I wanted to spend on pieces of rubber

Lol I hear ya...

The thing is "glossy" and hard rubber might make more noise than corse and soft rubber feet. Follow me? Then again your case won't be shaking. :lol;

I'm just over thinking things.

I saw some reviews on the hard rubber and vibrations, but I'm not worried since I usually run my fans at low rpm anyways
