all my volts were stock . i previously had an issue with the bios not taking xmp profiles during the oc competition so i had to do those manually . later it stopped talking blk speed adjustments . after which one fine day one of the bios failed to post and i switched to the other bios and...
well after trying all of the above except trying the cpu in another board because i don't know anyone who has an x99 or an haswell e cpu lying around . I've come to the conclusion that either the cpu or the board is dead and its going for an rma . since both of these were in warranty .
for the...
nafu bro if you look at the stats of the rigs that people have with 3x sli at 4k the cpu does become a limiting factor due to the amount of data being processed is simply too much for the cpu to handle and the fps becomes limited not due to the gpu scaling but due to the cpu bottleneck .
i...
i think it should be enough but when its comes to 4k and multiple displays it will bottleneck the gpu but that will be only if you have like 3xsli . which is a rare . so in my opinion it should be enough .
keep it in classes
1) cpu benches
2) gpu benches
3) combine benches
4) keep the penalty so that it balances out if the classes are in the same bracket and doest handicap the other .
5) also we need more people because we are about 6 people competing and it would be more fun if there were...

the bench is stable I've posted my 3d mark scores with this clock. i can't do another run atm because i think i have fried my bios and my cpu is being difficult in adjusting to new blk speeds .
my max clock is 5027mhz which is...
or maybe i think i did when i took the 2500k to 5.3 there was massive over volt to keep it bench stable .those cpus were beasts man.. these new ones are sissy
