This pc is primarily for gaming and audio production.
Planned to add another HDD and a external sound card next month.
Really EASY to build in the air 540, it's huge and super spacious. There's no where you can't reach, really.
Everything works perfectly except for the cpu, I was told that it's this "silicon lottery" thing that I got.
I ran my 6600k @ 4.3Ghz with 1.35V and it still crashes while running stress within the 10 minutes mark. Really disappointing but the temperature only peaks out at 60 degrees C max while stress testing with the Hyper 212X.
As of right now, I'm only able to run it stable @ 4.2Ghz with 1.275V.
Ram did really well, with enough enough I was able to run it at 3000Mhz.
Edit, manage to run my 960 at 1.51Ghz with my vram at 4.1. Temps peaking at 65 during test in Heaven 4.0.
This GPU can OC like a boss, no doubt.
Fantastic card, Looks badass and perform the same.
HUGE case. Very spacious so you wouldn't have any problem building it, no headaches for cable management as well.
at least it isn't something borrowed!
Got the 960 purely for the aesthetic! Galax is trying to clear their stock so it's only going for 199 and the only games I play is dota and COD so yeah why not!
wouldnt of spent so much on case either, SSD would be awesome for music production multitasking/retrieving files all that jazz.
Very nice! I am so jealous the only way to get a Superflower PSU in America is to buy a re-brand that isn't even always made in the superflower factory.
is the psu length really 200mm ?
For the oc have you tried changing the LLC or manually entering ram timings and speed. Any chip should hit at least 4.4ghz. You can safely go up to 1.4v if temps are less than 80c.
I'm surprised you only pulled 4.2 GHz. I got 4.5 easily without even changing voltage. After I played with that a bit, I am stable at 4.75GHz!!!
Wished I had chose a cooler with black top cover instead but I guess this will work for now!
and you are angry about 4.2 GHz with a ****** air cooler?
