Gonna start overclocking my 4770k and my 780ti

Any tips / recommendations? Using a H80i for cooling on my CPU

Hate to also ask one more thing but whats the best program to see my fps / take screenshots

Don't go overboard on CPU, or consider a H100i for OC
that 780TI is factory oc so just do small bumps and watch the thermals.

Fraps for showing fps/taking screenshots but for the love of god, use shadowplay for recording gameplay lol

From what I can understand from other peoples experiences is, if you get 4.4ghz on your haswell, you're doing well.
Overclocking the Haswell chips seems to throw a massive amount of heat out, not sure how well the closed water-loop will handle it.

Could always do a de-lid to combat that though.

With that in mind... A Haswell Quad-Core @ 4.4ghz *is* going to be faster than my 3930K @ 4.8ghz when anything uses up-to 4 cores.

awesome thanks for the help guys!

Edit: FRAPs works on Windows 8.1 right?

My thoughts on this are, doing so should be left for the experienced enthusiasts only, seen too many disaster threads on this.

I agree.
Although, it's *really* not difficult thanks to the lack of solder being used on the Heatspreader.

Another option is to sandpaper the heatspreader to get a more level surface. (Plus a better contact for the Thermal compound.)

But if you aren't willing to risk the CPU, then don't bother.

Ya a wired one will just work out of the box, you will need the adapter for a wireless one tho.

So I'm playing Witcher 2 for the first time on PC.

Mother of God what a difference. Keyboard and Mouse is obviously the way this game was meant to be played.
