New case? That would be well over an hour job for me. But I like a little foreplay.

Took about 2 hours and had no issues, good to go on first boot.

Fury X at stock and the 6600K at 4.7GHz, DDR4 ram at 3000MHz.
All done except the one blue SP120 I'm using, any clue which of the 3 cables is the blue LEDs and if I can just cut it for no color?

Games I currently play: Battlefield 4, Fallout New Vegas, Ark, Crysis 3, Star Trek online, Elite Dangerous, GTA V, and Defiance.
Games I'm most looking forward to: Fallout 4 (duh), Star Citizen, Star Wars Battlefront, and of course one day Half Life 3.
Here's my main. It will have to (hopefully) cut the mustard for the next 2 or 3 video card generations.
Fractal Define R5
- Intel i7-4790k at 4.6ghz(1.225 vcore)
- Corsair H100i GTX with 120mm phantek fans
- Asrock z97 Extreme 4 motherboard
- 16gb (2x8) Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR3-1866 CL9
- Evga Supernova gold rated 750watt modular PSU
- 1tb Samsung 850 EVO ssd
- 2 Evga GTX-980 SC ACX 2.0 in SLI clocked at 1450mhz
- LG Bluray drive
- Nzxt 6-port (35watt per channel) 5.25 bay fan controller
- 4-140mm Phantek fans (intakes) 2-120mm Phantek fans (exhaust on Corsair H100i GTX)
- Logitech G910 Spark mechanical keyboard
- Logitech G700s wireless mouse
- Logitech G440 hard mouse pad
- Logitech G930 wireless 7.1 surround headphones

Windows 10 won't run games with securom and safedisk
Interested to see if Steam puts up any disclaimers for these older games on their store or if they continue to let people buy games that can't work and not care.

In a Q&A session this afternoon, I asked Intel Fellow and Chief Graphics Software Architect David Blythe about Intel's position on supporting the VESA Adaptive-Sync standard for variable refresh displays. (This is the standard perhaps better known as AMD's FreeSync.)
Blythe indicated that Intel is positively inclined toward standards-based solutions like Adaptive-Sync, and he said Intel does indeed plan to support this optional extension to the DisplayPort spec.
That should put the final nail in the coffin for Nvidia's lack of open standard support.

We can only hope. Physx is big though right...

Grab a nice pair of cans with an amp/dac so you can put that bad boy to good use

Maybe, but it'll be a long time before nvidia reacts. Their market share continues increasing, up to 82% now. They have a dangerous amount of influence.
Posted on 8/20/15 at 12:45 pm to ILikeLSUToo
Intel said Cannonlake will support it, they'll have no choice and gives them time to come to terms with their loss.
I don't even think it's a maybe, but a definite, and Nvidia knows that.
When Gsync gets outvoted 5 to 1 by chipmakers you just don't have a choice anymore. Intel swings a bigger dick.

Sure, but we're talking about Nvidia. They seem to be immune to competition these days. AMD released two HBM cards and freesync monitors with prices and selection that blow g-sync out of the water, and Nvidia still gained customers last quarter. Another take on it is that gsync is firmly a "premium" product and isn't going to compete for intel customers in the first place. Sure, Intel dominates when you consider the steam hardware stats, but anyone trying to squeak by with an iGPU because they only play minecraft and indie platformers and whatnot isn't/wasn't going to be Nvidia or AMD's customer in the first place, so at worst, Nvidia would lose some of its low-end customers who will see a cheaper path to smooth motion at low frames. But that brings up another point -- the effective range of adaptive sync is theoretically much wider than g-sync, but current monitors haven't reflected this whatsoever. There will have to be a solid offering of affordable adaptive sync panels that support effective ranges starting at 20 or 30Hz to support iGPU gaming on modern titles.
Still, based on Nvidia's history, they won't roll over and admit defeat even when defeated. They'll either lower the artificial price of their gsync module or enhance it with some other discriminator/gimmick, or both.

Nice PCs!
Can those rigs run Hearthstone?

Agree, people are building some nice rigs these days.

Well my care package came in from amazon today. Dude from FedEx didn't even knock on the door but everything came in just fine.

What games are you guys playing?
Hearthstone and H1Z1 are the other things grabbing my attention ATM.

Diablo 3, when my new PC is finished: DayZ, Warframe, and Ark. Then some D3 Seasons. Working toward getting a full streamers setup.
Oh yeah, the Corsair Spec-01 Case is very easy to work in. If you buy a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter for SSDs from Saberant you can fit 2 SSDs in one slot and the trays in the Spec case actually fit on the adapter perfectly. You could also just screw the SSD down into the tray, but I am going to have 4 250GB 850Evos, and at least a 2 TB HD
