Sweet cores Batman :O

They were still making stuff? Gosh.

This sounds like a driver issue. I do a fair bit of D3 on SLi 680s here, and even at 5760x1080 performance with everything on max settings is smooth. I'd suggest setting the game to run in borderless...

Right, I'm following you. Running at full speed for any length of time is causing too much turbulence and I'm guessing introducing bubbles into the loop, which is causing obvious problems.

Long...

Yes, as above, PWM is slightly better for longevity.

Molex = power. PWM wire = speed control. Did you instead mean RPM wire? If you try and use PWM signal and voltage regulation at the same time...

That depends on how much your pump + fans running at full speed until you boot Windows bothers you. The Lamptron provides up to 36W per channel, so it could theoretically power your pump just fine if...

PWM is technically superior to voltage control, yes, however unlike directly lowering volts a PWM signal has to be sent to the fan/pump before the speed will drop. No signal = full speed. Devices...

Thanks for the notice - does help, rather than just sudden 404 ;)

*sigh*

My sympathies to those laid off. I appreciate that as a public company they've got to show returns over the short-term (at the time of writing they're up 1.4%), but I can't help but feel...

And you're just looking rude, so let's all calm down on the ad hominem stuff, OK? One of the good things about XS is that it generally isn't full of two-year-olds flinging mud pies at each other.

Bloody hell!

Oh good grief.
Ha! :clap:

Would I love AMD to come out with an answer to the 9xx-series? Very much yes. However, if the R9 series is anything to go by, I'm not holding out a huge amount of hope...

For the record, a rep of Asus Australia has contacted me by PM and make a very generous offer to replace CPU, mobo and PSU and take the old parts off my hands to try and work out what went wrong. As...

Right, which is why I was a bit concerned that OCP obviously did trip.

Have done some more testing and PSU is fine, mobo+CPU combination exhibit same behaviour when powered by another PSU. Have...

Nice :) eBay can be a great source of quality kit if you know what you're looking for and aren't afraid to run a slight risk. Just, promise not to get sucked into snake oil ;)

PSU I'm using is an original AX1200, which is a 12V single-rail design - OCP shouldn't trip on the 12V draw of the CPU, unless one of the other rails was drawing way out of spec.

No dice - with CPU pulled board powers up and hangs with the CPU debug LED lit and error code '00', with CPU installed board powers up and hangs with error code '00' but CPU debug LED unlit. From...

LegitReviews - 'X99 motherboard goes up in smoke' - oh, dear - this is more or less exactly what's happened to me, with the exception being that I wasn't trying to push RAM at the time and can't...

Nay, mobo and CPU represent a rather significant investment so no other X99 board or 2011-3 CPU here.

I sure as hell hope it isn't CPU, but according to the mobo manual if there's a problem with...

Uh oh - my X99 Deluxe is refusing to boot. Was running XTU's inbuilt stress test at 4.5 core, 4.2 uncore, 1.3V CPU 1.3V cache and machine suddenly shut down. RAM not yet touched. Tried rebooting and...

In terms of wattage? Sure, you'll be plenty fine. Superflower don't have the best reputation, though, although this particular unit reviewed very well at jG (who are one of the more definitive...

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't, the Rampage V has plenty of PCIe slots. Where are you seeing that it's not compatible?

Cripes, the performance difference at high resolutions is even worse than I was afraid it would be.

Hey folks, just a heads-up that there is a known issue with X99 motherboards, SLi and Surround - at present, Surround cannot be enabled with SLi setups on the X99 platform. nVidia is aware of this...

Excellent, much quicker. Was wondering why things were opening so slow.
