yup for me its good for gaming/rendering

manofchalk · Apr 21, 2013

Looks fine to me.
Personally would invest in a better case, but there's nothing wrong with the HAF-912.

Any plans on cooling your chip, you have everything overclock ready except for the cooling aspect. A Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO is nice budget heatsink that will let you get to decent clocks.

What would you say about the v6 GT from Cooler Master? How's that, it actually looks more cool.

AMD Radeon · Apr 21, 2013

^ V6 GT perform similar with 212 evo despite its higher cost and model number
noctua nhd 14 is different story, it is both looks cool and literally much cooler

Aehraz · Apr 21, 2013

Will my rig support the Noctua NH-D14, i'm ready to buy it in future, if it does support my rig.

AMD Radeon · Apr 21, 2013

^ yes, make sure you get low profile hetsink ram like this

to avoid contact/conflict with cooler

Will this not work?

I really would not recommend the Noctua cooler with this build, the motherboard is a bit to flimsy to be using the massive heatsink on, if you do happen to use it you could warp the board which basically destroys it rendering your computer completely useless. I really would recommend you just stick with the Hyper 212 EVO.

Aehraz · Apr 22, 2013

What about cooler master V6GT? will it do fine?

burritobob · Apr 22, 2013

Aehraz :

The Hyper 212 EVO is cheaper and has the same performance, if you want looks go for it otherwise the EVO is all you will ever need.

Aehraz · Apr 23, 2013

Hey manofchalk i have a increase in my budget,
should i get an ASUS P8Z77-V PRO coz Asrock is not giving warranty and service in my area. :-\

Aehraz · Apr 23, 2013

If i get the ASUS P8Z77-V PRO or the ASUS P8Z77-V LX then how will the rest of the configuration work.

manofchalk · Apr 23, 2013

See if you can get a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H or ASUS P8Z77-V LK. Those boards are roughly equivalent to the AsRock Extreme4 and each other in terms of features. With the extra cash, would sink it into a 212 EVO I mentioned before and a better case (HAF-XM, Corsair 400R and the NZXT Phantom 410 spring to mind).

Aehraz · Apr 23, 2013

ASUS P8Z77-V LX what do you say about this one? is it not right?

manofchalk · Apr 23, 2013

Its a downgrade to what you had before, it cant support dual Crossfire/SLI adequately while the AsRock and the boards I suggested above can.
If that doesn't concern you, theres no reason not too get it.

Aehraz · Apr 23, 2013

dual SLI means 4 gpu? coz SLI means 2 already so if you say dual SLi it means 4 gpu's right?

manofchalk · Apr 23, 2013

Dual, Tri and Quad SLI/Crossfire refer to the number of cards in the array (or GPU's more accurately, but unless your talking 690's its easier to use cards).
