great job m80
Proper good job bawd! That's a sweeeeet build
Thanks guys!
What?! This doesn't even have a side panel! (Just kidding... very nice man.)
Didnt really want to make a new thread for updating my build log so im necro-ing this one lol. Latest additions are Power Color PCS+ R9 390 and Sound Blaster ZxR (not shown, currently RMA).
So far im really loving the PCS+ 390, it idles betwen 55-60C because the fans wont spin up until its under load and when it is I haven't seen the temps reach the 70s (thats under gaming loads, not a fan of synthetic benchmarks). Upgrading from 2 Gigabyte 280Xs that I got used from ebay, they had huge artifacting issues and stuttered horribly in a lot of games (especially Witcher 3)
Im actually a little surprised by the performance at 1440p, I was able to keep my settings where they were (all ultra/very high settings, no AA) and still get averages above 60fps with the lowest of the lows going down to 45fps in the latest AAA titles (except for Witcher 3 which STILL stutters and has overall sub-par performance).
Overall im very happy and impressed with my GPU upgrade and cant wait to grab a 2nd 390 and that Korean A399U 4K monitor, thanks for reading :)
