*sigh* I can't justify an AMD CPU...

I think the strategy will be to deal with it until Ivy Bridge comes... then pick up an i7-2600k and corresponding mobo when the prices come down.

Or... go to Microcenter and buy an ASUS P8 Z68V Gen3 and a Core i7-2600k like I just did today...

My save money idea lasted less than 24hrs. Ballin'

How convenient! Must be the Genius Bar that does that for you. Afterwards, they put you up in the stirrups and give you a douche for that fresh feeling, right?

Alright, this rig rocks! Both GPUs are maxed out at 100% usage now. i7-2600k at stock clocks I am running 45-60fps with everything on high at 5760x1080. Not bad!

With the Hyper 212 cooler I seeing around 25*C idle and 45*C max load temps with the CPU. Not bad.

GPUs are sitting around 57*C max load.

So I'd say I have the cooling worked out pretty well right now, with a good bit of overhead to OC.

Didn't I tell you to go with an i7 in the first place? Lol

When?

Oh, I am at 4.49Ghz now on AMD 12.1 Preview drivers... constant 50-60fps now with high settings on 64 player servers. I can finally play BF3 again!

Oh, nevermind - that was your GF's computer you were building.

Anyway, yeah...nice job on the new setup. I almost bought an i7 960, but realized its barely an upgrade over my 920. Man, hard to believe the 920 is already...what...3 years old almost? Ivy Bridge, here I come!
