k thats lame, i say send 1000 whining letters to SE as complaint for the loss of couple of days of testing xD
you can not imagine how furstrated everyone is in the beta forums and it is turning to 2 sides, people who believe it is their right to play the game and they are working for SE without getting payed for testing and people who believe that they are here only as a blessing from SE and they have no right to complain etc
that makes sense, 980x is seriously expensive atm and they will announce the new generation in few months i believe, which should drop the i7 price a bit at least
yo can go past 4ghz in the 960 but would be better not to so it will live long enough :P
they just released 975x another 6 cores cpu which is less than 980x by only 100, they are thieves i tell you, i plan to go further than 4ghz and i dont care about the life span of the cpu usually it will last 4 years and by that time i will change it.
i guess that would depend on what water cooling system you wanna go with, i was thinking h50 for my pc, but bought cnps x10 performa, slapped another fan on it to pull, and the fan on the rear of the case (thermaltake spedo advance) is helping more in the pull, core 2 duo 4500 2.2ghz OC to 3.2ghz and MAX temp it reach with ac on 23C is ~48C, im quite happy with it
if you insist on water cooling the cpu and gonna get the 480, it would make more sense to buy a full watercooling system for both the cpu and the vga as it would have noticeable effect specially if you gonna OC the spu, then the vga will be the bottleneck without OCing which would seriously increase its heat if you did
and tat tat tat, tanaka announced in an interview that they are planning to release the game with 3d enabled in an interview, dont remember which one though, it was more than a week ago i believe, so PREPARE xD
