Wondering if I should for a my MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3) a new MoBo?
Current Build:
AZZA Hurrican 2000 Case
MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3)Mobo
32 GB G.Skill RipJaws DDR3 2133 RAM
i7 2600k (usually run at 3.8 to 4.0GHz) - upgrading to i7 3770k
Cyberpower Water Cool w/ 3x120mm Fans/radiator/XSPC Raystorm block
(on my 3rd pump)
2 x HIS 6850 IceQ X 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E DP/2xDVI/HDMI with X-Fire enabled
(1st card seems to carry entire load??)
Raidmax RX-10fluid, 00AE Power Supply 80 Plus Gold
256GB Intel SSD w/Win 8 and games
2x2TB 7200RPM
2x1TB 7200RPM
Looking to get MAXIMUM performance out of my machine. Watercooler pump has failed twice now and CPU overtemps to 95C and system shuts down. Waiting for my new hose, fluid, hose connectors, and new CPU to arrive. Have worried about Mobo and GPU issues from pump failures due to extremely degraded performance and video chopping.
Will pull Vidoe boards and test seperately when new Water Cooling components arrive. Looking for advice on Mobo upgrade (if needed) and RAM settings as since I installed new RAM have aslo had issues...
I know there is alot going on here all at once, looking to effectively upgrade, and optimize performance...
Thanks,
DR
