Hello, ESR!
I've been thinking about some upgrade but since everything is shit (®) and since I have some hw skillz I decided to upgrade my PC the smart way :D
Now I have this setup:
3770K@4300 (Linx x64 AVX up to 85deg)
ASUS GTX 780@1100/7000 (Furmark up to 79 deg)
2xCrusial Ballistix 8GB 8-8-8-24-T1@1866Mhz.
Firstly I wanted to get 980Ti/6700K but since "shitlake" PCBs made of paper and 980Ti being not so powerful I've decided to do a "smart upgrade":
1) 256GB A-DATA SP920 (Marvell 88SS9189)
2) Coollaboratory Liquid PRO + CS 0.15ml
3) 2x120 or 2x140 PWM fans to improve GTX 780 Cooling.
Also I will need some simple soldering iron and sharp scalpel.
I can buy 980Ti and 5820K, but it's the easy and irrational way :D
So what I'm aiming for:
1) To scalp my 3770K and replace "horse semen" that intel puts inside for liquid metal to get 4700-4800+ frequencies from my CPU and to have temps less than 70 in LinX 64 AVX.
2) To get the maximum frequencies out of my GTX 780 (1200-1300+ GPU and higher memory clocks if it would bottle-necking GPU). So it would be equal to stock 980Ti.
3) Memory. Who need this stupid DDR4 with timings huge as Oprah Winfrey's ass. Target is ~ 10-10-10-30 T1 2400Mhz.
4) SSD? Obvious. HDD is the most bottle-necking piece of hardware in any PC. It slows down everything all the time.
What I've already done on GF's PC:
Spent 5 EUR and 20 minutes. Temp dropped from 82 to 63 in furmark.
BTW this method is extremely efficient and always results in extra 15-25C degrees drop plus lesser noise.
