I have the Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 and it's a great board! Though I was told by ASUS that it's built for reliability and is not a true "Enthusiast" board, but what do they know?

Can also take a look at the ASUS Crosshair V Formula but it's a bit more $$$.

The Sabertooth is as good of a board as the CHV without all the bells and whistles. I wouldn't recommend the CHV for anyone that isn't planning on pushing their chips to extremes, such as sub ambient benching.

Hello again!
So i managed to save some euros and I will go for this build:

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
Swiftech H220 - with 2 eloop noiseblocker b12 - p (2000rpm)
ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 120GB SATA3
Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X OC 3GB GDDR5 (Rev.2.0)
Cooler Master 690-III

Corsair AX760 Modular 80 Plus Platinum
DDR3 8Gb (2x4Gb) Kingston HyperX Beast 2400 CL11 1.65V

I need yout help because i feel like the PSU is overkill but I don´t know wath is a good ~600 W good PSU the ram i really can´t decide between a 1600 cl 9 1.5V or the one above price is almost the same.

If you can give your opion i would apreciate.

Best Regards

Save money on the RAM, get some 1866 CL9 1.5V G.SKILL.

Also, grab a Seasonic G-550 unless you're planning on Crossfire.

 

[Carpelini]

I will probably buy another GPU in the end of the year

My OCZ ZT-750 is a great bang-for-the-buck PSU if you want to save some coin.
Check out Seasonic and the TX Corsair stuff too.

~750W is plenty for 2x280X and an 8350 though.

Nice!

Ty i will keep the psu because of second GPU and buy the ram you linked.

If i can get a stable 5.0 OC i will post

ty again

A 24/7 5GHz chip isn't common. I would expect at least 4.7 with your cooling though

 

[Carpelini]

I could get a super ultra imba chip

Yes my goal is 4.7 with luck 4.8 24/7.

 

[Carpelini]

Btw wath is a safe oc for 24/7 i mean in terms of temperature.

 

[ATMINSIDE]

62°C Package temp, 70° Socket temp

 

[Carpelini]

Package u mean cores

 

[ATMINSIDE]

HWMonitor and the like show "Package" temp for FX CPUs.

I feel like i am gona ask somethig stupid ... is it ok to go for a push/pull config since the elix will be stoped i know i will get really low improve but my question is it bad idea push/pull with diferent fans?
