I drive a liquid-cooled Alienware Aurora R3 with an i7 2700k CPU overclocked to 4GHz. It has 8 GB of 1866 RAM and 2x Nvidia GTX 560 ti SLI. I am getting about 40-80 fps at 1080p on high (autodetect) settings everywhere including wvwvw. My 3DMark 11 scores for my desktop:

X2898: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/3883215
P8299: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/3883418

According to 3dmark, your CPU runs at 2.4 – 2.8GHz
Your GTX core clock is at 822MHz.
Your RAM is clocked at 1333MHz
where’s the overclock?

And btw, your performance score should be way higher than P8300. At least P10500 with that setup, after OC of course.

It is a turbo-boost factory overclock. The actual overclock is 4.1 GHz. AW maxed the multiplier. I have tested the stability and it is a rock-solid stable overclock. All instability issues I have had have been GPU related. I could probably push the 3DMark11 score higher but at the price of stability. I think what is limiting the 3DMark11 score is the closeness of the video cards, they are right next to each other. I could turn my case fans much higher to cool them down but that makes my pc sound like a vacum cleaner.

I thought you said something about watercooling.
And your “guide” said something about spacing your gfx as far from each other as possible. I guess those AW mobo’s aren’t that good for gaming as they say.
“Factory overclock”, what a funny term.

I’m asking them to either reinstate Grievance and transfer the influence from Dark Grievance to Grievance, or just change the name of Dark Grievance to Grievance.
