Had the same issue, got this and it's worked out great. Gotta be careful with tightening it though since the fan housing can twist if it's uneven. Also used some washers to offset the fan from rubbing the case

Well the main thing driving me doing an upgrade is my best friend is finally interested in doing a pc after all these years but is tight on cash. So the the savings he'll get from me selling him my old parts for cheap vs him having to buy all new stuff will allow him to finally put something...
Sigh. See OP, systems specs aren't current. I currently have a i5-2500K at 4.5GHz with a custom water loop and 16GB of DDR3 1600 RAM. I plan on doing a mini-ITX upgrade though with a new case, i5-7600k, MB, RAM and HD. Hence why getting a 1070 AND then a new 144Hz monitor isn't much of an option...
Haha thanks for the input everyone. So after giving this some thought all day, I think I've decided on option 1. The way I see it, I'll now have 2 1080p monitors, much smoother gameplay, I'll have the option of turning down details vs running ultra if I want >60 FPS and whenever vega comes...
So I need some help deciding between these 2 options which would cost me roughly the same amount:
Option 1: Get an RX 480 8GB with a new 1080p 144Hz Freesync Monitor
Option 2: Get a GTX 1070 instead and continue using my old 1080p 60Hz Monitor
I'm leaning towards option 1 as I really value...
I personally went with G-sync and this is coming from someone with 2 unlocked 6950's. Don't get me wrong im excited for mantle too but g-sync just takes the cake for me. Whats 52 FPS vs 64 FPS in Battlefield 4 when you still get some stuttering at 64 FPS. If g-sync really delivers what it claims...
thing is my board doesnt support using offset so auto and static voltages are all I got. And I guess what confuses me is when someone says they're at 4.5GHZ with a 1.34 vcore for example. Is the 1.34v what they set in their bios or is it what they have under load. Also even when I set my vcore...
I currently have a 2500k and I have a question about setting the vcore in the bios. I have a MSI Z68A GD65 G3 motherboard and currently whatever voltage I set in the bios the real voltage at idle is about 0.04v less. Ex 1.46v set in bios and 1.42 seen in CPUID on idle and around 1.36 during...
i actually got slight goosebumps reading that...probably didn't help that I had "Lupe Fiasco- The End Of The World" playing in the background...but yes that was very impressive to say the least
I feel like the price has a lot to do with it too...imagine how many more 6970s would be sold than 7970s just due to the fact that the 6970s are more affordable
I was thinking about going with a Patriot Wildfire PW120GS25SSDR for my new SSD and I was wondering what are your thoughts on it and also if there is anything better/more reliable in that price range
I was actually thinking about the 2600k but I feel like the extra $100 isn't worth it for me.
Haha ok correction I don't like red, well not that I don't like it, it just doesn't go with my color scheme lol and what does the 10 power phases do exactly?
