Would go none of them. i7 3820 all the way. Cheaper than all the 3 above and just as fast. Overclocks to 5ghz easily. Also x79 has more than enough pcie lanes for 3 7950's, where the z77 & z87 do not. Ramage Formula IV is a brilliant...

Am considering building myself another i7 3820 system. Looking at the Rampage IV GENE. Want to build something in the smallest case I can find and sqeeze a custom loop into it. I think Silverstone make a good m-atx case, can anyone...

Yeah Im tempted to bust open the bios and crank the voltage and clock speed up for some mad benching. But can not bring myself to do it, this 5ghz chip is so stable I just don't want to fudge with it.

3+ months and going strong. Mayhems Oil black xt-1 concentrate & Plain Distilled water Primochill LRT Advanced Blood Red Looks like that day I filled the system. The Oil Black looks totally brilliant.

Been loving the cold days/nights in Adelaide this last week. Came home last night from work and the outside ambient was 6c and inside was 15c. Cranked up the 5ghz 3820 to find water temps of 16c and idle temps of 21-22c. Oh how i love...

I dont understand why you are not using the blk strap. Its soul purpose is to help overclocking. Go read a few guides on Haswell and x79 overclocking. It is easier to overclock a Haswell than a Ivy, just temps holding the overclocks back...
