Ok I'll grant you it was rude, but the quote was a blanket statement observing that it is never necessary to run with more than 1 graphics card, which is simply not true. I agree that a single card solution is always ideal and it is surely the most efficient, but you yourself pointed out that...

I thought the same thing. Then I read this: "Using multiple graphics cards in a gaming PC is, however, a rare occurrence, as modern graphics cards are sufficiently powerful even for the most demanding games – there is simply no need for combining graphics cards via Nvidia’s SLI or AMD’s...

I am very interested in this guy. I want Swiftech to stick around so Corsair and Coolermaster and NZXT actually have a product to compete with on the AIO market. Hook this baby up with a couple of NF-F12's in pull and the red LED one will go great with my setup :)

Intel actually endorses overclocking the memory controller when using compatible memory via XMP. As long as your RAM and motherboard support it, it's perfectly safe and even recommended, especially on their flagship consumer grade CPU...

You'll probably be ok with two 770's, but it also depends heavily on what games you're playing. For example, the only game I don't maintain 60 fps at max settings is Far Cry 3, and that's mainly due to 8x AA (a known GPU killer). Also games like Rift are very heavily CPU based (plus not using...

That's a good card, but also a huge amount of resolution to push. I run two 770's and I can get 50+ fps on most games at 2560x1600 on high-ultra settings, so I would expect about 65% of that performance with one card on my monitor. On three 1080p monitors, it would likely be closer to 50% of...

There's a good chance the plastic cover is bonded to the IO shield. In that case, you won't be able to completely remove the factory cooler without purposely breaking something. If you've removed every screw you can see and the cover won't budge, there's probably some adhesive somewhere...

I know CPU-Z can be twitchy with the way it displays speeds, but if you set the speeds in your BIOS, and the BIOS doesn't show the right speed, that's odd indeed. Usually there's a simple XMP profile that you can enable, rather than having to change all the values yourself manually.

Yep, it will all work together. Have you decided on a video card yet?

What monitoring software are you using to view the speed of the memory?
