Ideal Build for Radeon HD 7990

xpyro1fire · Feb 11, 2015

I am probably going to buy a second card to replace my Radeon HD 7990.

What is a good build for Radeon HD 7990?

Samsamproducts · Feb 11, 2015

So you already own the 7990, want to replace it in your main PC, then put it in a second build? Is this correct?

I think you'll like the red and black theme.
Since the 7970 is a rebranded R9 280X, R9 290 would fit with the i5-4690K.

Leave the h100i, and get the NOCD15.

okcnaline · Feb 11, 2015

Noctua D15? Nah, if I'm not recommending the H100i then either he has too high budget or too low budget. No point in getting something not water cooled but is able to do the same at the price of free or $20 less.

What I meant? H100i is good for OC. If no, then I'd probably put CM 212 EVO or NZXT Kraken X61.

D15 is a better performing h100i....

The d15 beats h100i in all cooling benchmarks

okcnaline · Feb 11, 2015

Eh... I've heard that one, but then, it's merely $2 difference, so nothing much changed. This is still good performing at $60 difference. However, this is essentially my previously made list with a different cooler.

okcnaline :

Any chance I can get a ideal build for $600? AMD CPU and cheaper motherboard maybe? I don't want to buy a case that is 100$... I don't plan to add more cards or something to case.

I made this build

What do you think? I saw some compatibility issues but can you help me with these issues?

I heard that FX 6300 will bottleneck 7990 unless I OC FX6300 which I will.

Bossyfins · Feb 11, 2015

Your build:

the i5 4690k destorys it, and even a 4460 beats the hell out of it.
Your PSU is bad. If you go with it, expect problems down the road
Case: I dont even think the GPU will fit in it.

xpyro1fire · Feb 12, 2015

Bossyfins :

Yeah. T-Thanks, I guess? Maybe help me to configure then? Maybe give me recommendations instead?

I saw the compatible issues. I am still looking for a cheap case that can fit one single 7990. I don't plan to switch 7990 again with other card let alone two cards in one case.

I need to find a motherboard that can run 7990. Again, I don't care about crossfire or sli capable on a motherboard.

The 7990 is 12" long (305mm) so use that measurement when looking for a case.
