Three Fury X? What case do you have with so many fan mounts? Or do you have a proper watercooling system?

Just reusing my old case its a Corsair 780T. Took out the drive bay cage. Two fury x radiators on the front and one on the bottom of the case for now. Planning on doing a large water loop with dual 360mm rads coming up here in a few months

Ok, it's a good case with lots of airflow.

Well finally got all the issues figured out on my PC. Had to RMA the motherboard twice (thank god for Amazon) and also had to RMA my ram. (One stick was bad but didnt always BSOD my system). Got my 5960x Stable at 4.7 GHz at 1.325 Volts using Realbench for 6 hours. Runs very good. Excited to see what this chip can do under a true WC setup. I think 4.8 Ghz is not out of the question. Overall im EXTREMELY excited to see what this Beast can do once the new 14 nm graphics cards come out. Maybe this is the Gen Nvidia will get me to jump ship.

Sigh, no monies, no powah.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e
4GB ECC DDR2 800MHz
Asus M3A78-T mobo
R7 250 passive cooled graphics card
1TB WD Caviar Blue primary HDD
1TB WD Caviar Green secondary HDD
Samsung internal DVD writer
LG external USB DVD driver (forced to buy it due to the limited range of writable and rewritable discs supported by that shitty Samsung even with the latest firmware update)
Enermax Pandora case

When I bought the parts they were already cheap and offered very high value for money, so I can't complain, moreover, as I burnt my fingers not upgrading in time the DDR2, so that it went out of production and its price started rising again while its value lowered, this time I want to wait for DDR4 to become mainstream and AMD to adopt it in mid-low range too to make my next PC upgrade, in the meantime I upgraded from the on-board HD3300 GPU to the R7 250 because it was a lot more cost-effective than getting another 4GB DDR2, and it let me free half a GB RAM anyway, no more used by the onboard GPU.

You won't have to wait long as AMD's next APUs, called Bristol Ridge, will launch in the first half of 2016 and will introduce the new AM4 socket, that will be used for all of AMD's upcoming processors (including Zen), as well as DDR4 support.

Yeah, it looks like money will be the longer lasting obstacle , the result for me is the same, but I'm glad that at last AMD is delivering its long awaited new range supporting the new tech, and probably I'll benefit too from this, next year there will be enough choice also in the mid/low-end, I just hope that AMD will support Crossfire of its new APUs' GPUs with the R7, it should as R7 is not too old, while I couldn't crossfire my R7 with the old onboard HD3300, the latter is too old (and it wouldn't add very much after all, even my R7 250 runs circles around it).

Yeah i was originally going to wait for broadwell e but with the quad core cpus based on broadwell couldnt overclock for #### and with only a ~4% boost in IPC so they ended up being worse than the Devils canyon CPUs were. i honestly feel like it will be a wash especially since its looking like the Intel Extreme range is going to be a 10 core $1500 part that is going to be worthless to me in gaming and is only going to further make overclocking more difficult since there are more cores to cool. Hell my 8 core 5960x is basically worthless to me in gaming performance over my old 3930k which I had running at 4.8 ghz. But x99 is a WAY better beast than x79 was and is much more up to date which was what finally sold me on it.

So i finally decided to pull the trigger and go Haswell E and i dont regret it one bit. Ill sell my Fury X's when the flagship Pascal or Polaris cards come out. Im going all out next gen and it feels good... except in my pocket book hahahaha. $4000 down the drain so far with plans to spend another $3000 between a beast watercooling setup and 3x new graphics cards.
