Thanks. The reason I'm asking is I felt I had conflicting advice from them so just wanted some reassurance.

No.
Which one would you prefer instead?
I thought that my cpu could use all the cooling it can get and since my case supports 2x 280mm fans why not opt for the H110?
It seems to do well in reviews, other option was the H105.

Hey guys I'm about to upgrade for first time in ten years.just looking to game at 1080/60 so would Intel i7 16 GB ram and gtx 780 3gb be fine budget around £1500 thanks

You can cut down and get to play games at 1080p/60 fps. Get a Gigabyte R9 290, 4th gen i7 and 8 Gb Corsair Vengeance ram. 8 Gb will be more than enough for you to game just fine on the resolution you mentioned. I have an i3, an r9 270x and 4 gb of ram, and I can play at full HD without issues at high to ultra settings for many games. So, you will be far more set than I am right now.
Of course they would be fine, i've got an i7 4770k oc and r9 290 tri-x oc in my rig, i max out almost everything on 1080p/60fps, i would suggest a r9 290 indeed, cause it has slightly better performance than the gtx 780 in some games, it also has 4gb of ram and is considerably cheaper, but that said gtx 780 is a great card too for 1080p.
And of course 16gb of ram are too much, 8gb would be more than enough, i would suggest corsair vengeance 1600mhz

Are there any real reviews of the Rog Swift yet? The two I found with google seemed very sponsored and incredibly short with no mentions of color accuracy and the like.
And when might Newegg get them in stock? Would rather not pay tax so it'd have to be through them. Given the apparently limited amount of stock are they likely to stay steady in price unlike other monitors? In a few weeks I'm going to be going on a work trip for about 6 weeks, so would it be worth waiting on it?

Corsair Vengeance or Crucial Ballistix Sport. There's not much difference in price between them going by Amazon.
There are no real reviews yet. If you're in North America, stock probably wont arrive until August according to ASUS.
The UK retailer I've put in a pre-order with has this on their site:
Samsung 840 EVO and Crucial MX100 have similar performance, I would say go for whichever is cheaper, which will probably be the MX100.

Honestly you should drop the AIO watercooler totally and get some high end air cooler like Phanteks or Noctua D-15.
One thing that rarely get's mentioned is that those watercoolers will lose liquid over time and they are designed so it's impossible to add it.
So cooling efficiency will get lower over time increasing tempratures and noise of pump.
? It's a closed system, where would the liquid go?
TFT Central is doing one and should publish it soonish.
Fill out the OP. Yes for those requirements easily.
Literally anything low profile and 1600Mhz / 1.5V that doesn't seem to have a high failure rate.
Pick a color or brand you like.

Just because it's not leaking water doesn't mean there are no loses over time.
Water doesn't just magically disappear. It can't seep through the tubes. It can't evaporate through something. Sealed units don't work like that. Either there is a leak or there isn't.
Yep. If this were true then the same problem would occur on heat pipe heatsinks because those transfer heat through evaporation...

I would go with the 6gb one.
Yeah w8.1
I've been on it for awhile. Didn't have the issue on my other machine. No clue what else to do outside of reinstall of Windows. Tried all of the Google recommendations.
Have you tried disabling PCI-E link state power management?
Ah that's one I forgot to do. I went there as a recommendation but got caught up in something and forgot to change it. Not getting my hopes up though.
How would that possibly help?
There is definatly no reason not to overclock the 780, its so easy and totally safe. I gained 11fps in Unigene Valley bench (77fps avg - quicker than GTX Titan) by pushing clocks to 1250Mhz Core 3500Mhz Memory @ 1.21v. My daily OC is 1100Mhz Core 3200Mhz Memory at stock voltage (1.16v). My GPU is a reference Gigabyte GTX 780 901Mhz Core 3000Mhz Memory.
I dont even have it on a profile becuase i lock my fps to 60fps with Msi Afterburner so my GPU only ever clocks up to the overclock when its really needed. Otherwise it sits at a lower frequency automatically.
I think the Gigabyte Windforce is the coolest and quietest running card so id go for that.
Can someone else with a Z97 + 4790k setup tell me what their mobo is using as the vcore at stock settings? I'm wondering if my UD5H using a vcore of 1.23 is kind of high for stock. The vcore also doesn't drop at idle clocks but I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen or not. I'm on the latest BIOS and haven't made any CPU clocking changes.
Thats definitely high. I have mine at 4.4GHz (not much of an OC, I know haha) at 1.18 and I think I can definitely get it lower.
If its not dropping when its idle, sounds like a BIOS setting might be wrong.
I'll double check the voltage when I get home as I may be remembering it wrong. However, I certainly do remember the voltage not changing at idle (unless I'm looking at the wrong value in HWinfo).
Otherwise the system is working fine and under an AIDA64 stress test my temps go to about 75c which doesn't seem bad.
Well, my guess is this is a software problem. That setting is used to save power (not something we're interested in doing). You don't want Windows cutting power to the PCI-E slots because it thinks the device is idle.
Apparently PCI-E devices send empty messages when idle to keep the bus active. This power saving setting can be used to set the port into a low power state to save electricity when these idle messages are received. It's designed for portable computers and of no use in this scenario. Setting it to OFF just makes sure the power saving feature is disabled.
Do you want some honest advice, or do you just want a bunch of really expensive (and awesome, I partake in overkill myself and approve of it) parts?
That's not true at all. Haswell-E is replacing Ivy-E. That's like saying Z87/97 didn't replace Z77 because it's socket 1150 instead of 1155. It is the replacement/successor.

I'll have to do some research on overclocking. I've always avoided it for some reason.
I missed that he was asking about an Ivy-E CPU. My mistake.
No worries, but you did specifically say X99 is not a successor to X79
Also, in related news, Haswell-E CPUs available for pre-order.

Yeah, I fucked it all up. =)
What motherboard and OS are you running? I had some random restart issues when I put together a new build for a friend. Turning off fast boot/startup on the motherboard and OS seemed to have fixed it.

Does the read/write speed of a HDD go down over time?
To add to that, 4790k is $280. Bought one last week.
The price on that 4820K is amazing.
It's $340 on US Amazon. Microcenter is pretty great.

Hey so recently I've noticed that my build has been performing a little different than usual. The main place I notice it is in MMO loading screens. Loading Guild Wars 2 zones takes wayyyy longer than it should. Same thing with WoW. My friend has a crappy laptop and it loaded faster than me.
My Specs
Is there something I can use to benchmark my system and see if something is wrong? I mean I usually have a few programs running at the same time but still.

Thanks all for the help. I ended up holding off on any monitor purchase until there was a single monitor that had exactly the features I want. Thanks to your suggetions I ended up switching out the samsung SSD for the Crucial MX100 since it was ~$50 cheaper and there didn't appear to be a huge difference between the two drives.
I freely admit there was a lot of fat in that build but I'm okay with that.
Thanks again.

I don't know, did you try defragmenting your HDD?
