I just finished installing the 3770k into my new Source 210 and figure I'd get a picture:

Yes, that is a 750w PSU for a system with a 77w CPU, 1 HDD, and no GPU. But it was very cheap, and the GS600 needs to be RMA'd.

I'm pleasantly surprised with how clean things turned out, given the mass of cables from the PSU

I just don't get why we are still using those bulky DVI ports... They ruin a GFX cards aesthetics.

Thank you mate

W1zz took care of all benchies already but I can tell you this, Crysis 3 is finally fully playable maxed out at 5760x1080 w/TXAA enabled, my 680s would almost catch fire with those settings, it was a humbling experience

I moved the 680s to my C2Q build, haven't tried it yet, but they might be severely bottlenecked by the CPU, will let you know if I decide to sell them

Agreed, almost reminds me of some modern motherboards with parallel and serial ports

Thank you so much, means a lot to me for you to say that

Currently I'm completely dedicated to Crysis 3, but after I finish it I'll go back to completing the Dragonborn quest in Skyrim, maybe even some F1 2012 and Disshonored after that, so many good games I haven't finished yet... What are you currently playing?

Once again, thanks to everybody for your comments, I really appreciate them

I think that is a lens warp, the second pic looks mighty straight.
Btw, how does plastic melt on an unused connector?

I like the unique color of your fan grills, very different from what I've seen lately. Excellent cable management with zero dust. Get's the job done!!

Maybe heat transferred through the PCB also? if its just cheap plastic then it might only take a little heat to melt it?

EDIT:
















Well im as ready for crysis 3 as im going to be. Finally got my hands on a crossfire bridge and i have to say im very pleased with the results so far. Had to reinstall CCC to get it to turn crossfire on but its all good now. Metro 2033 with the single card i mas getting maximum about 39 and min around 23 FPS on high. Now i get about 46 min and 60 high, sometimes but not often going upto 80. Either way its much more fluid and makes the faster paced fighting scenes more fluid. Turned it up to very high and whilst Fraps reported average FPS of around 44 Movement was slow, it wasnt like a slide show it was fluid but it was like there was a delay, id move the mouse and half a second later the correct action would happen on screen.

Anyhoo im enjoying my first Crossfire so far.
