Syndaz Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I originally was planning to get a GTX 760 FTW for 280 but then I found the MSI AMD Radeon 280. This looks to be longer than the planned 760. Awesome set me up with a great motherboard that supports 2 GPUS which I would consider in the future. The case I'm planning to shove all this crap in is CoolerMaster Elite 430. So I'm wondering if I could shove this Radeon and potentially a second one in the future with room for aftermarket fans?

Syndaz Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yes, it will fit. Will overclocking with an I3 work as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Will overclocking with an I3 work as well? only Intel CPUs ending in a k or x can be overclocked (nowadays) -- so 4670k, 4690k, 4770k, 4790k, G3258, all Haswell-E. If you mean the GPU, then the cpu/motherboard play no role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InjinJoe Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 get an AMD cpu and a good 760 raedons overheat A lot do, but it really depends on what kind of a cooling they have on them. I've never had my 7970 get above 64 C while running any game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 get an AMD cpu and a good 760 raedons overheat Only the reference blower has heat issues, any of the aftermarket coolers from Asus, MSI, Sapphire, or Windforce are excellent. (excluding the Asus 290) And for gaming, an Intel cpu will trash an AMD cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
