They were still VRAM limited, even when I dropped back to one card. So it's all hands on deck, but let me catch you up a bit.įirst of all let me say that even dropping to 32' 1440p did not help the Furys much. I am aiming to completely finish this rig before moving house soon. I am also going to tidy up the PCIE power cables and main 24 pin cable using these that I have ordered. I've ordered this and have it ghetto fitted to the PC ATM. So it's time to think out of the box a little. The Intel 750 400gb is around £320 and I didn't really want to be paying that just to store my games on. I wanted a largish PCIE SSD but they are expensive. I have also upgraded the ram to 16gb and have bought and fitted four of these. I'm a big paracord fan and prefer it by miles over plastic sheathing. I must say I have used the crap out of BF Alchemy cables and they are absolutely beautifully made. Which will be running all blue Bitfenix Alchemy cables in blue. OK so the PSU was whining pretty badly so Tom over at OC3D very kindly donated this Here is how the machine arrived, bog standard. Which works in tandem with my game drive, my 600gb Velociraptor.

This is how it was ordered stock.Īnd what I have added. In the end after a lot of stress I broke that PC down and sold it and my wife said she would put £500 toward a new PC. Long story short : MSI don't stock 11 month old boards so they had nothing to replace mine with. After a shed load of testing I deduced that the board was dead (power phases had died) and so I RMAd it back to MSI. Basically I had my 3970x overclocked to 4.9ghz for 11 months and then all of a sudden one day it was throttling the CPU to 1.1ghz whenever I put a load on it. OK so last summer my 11 month old £3500 PC blew a motherboard. So I have been quietly working on a case mod for about a year now.
