So you are picking up two 7970s, correct? If so then that build will be fantastic. Otherwise, X79 is pretty much a waste for single GPU solutions (for your uses). |

I haven't done Crossfire before personally, although I am getting ready to put a second 7970 in my box.
Use the included Crossfire connecting strip to link the cards--then go into the Catalyst drivers and ensure it's enabled. Googling "how to enable Crossfire" will turn up a few Youtube How To's... |

Yea, I think I have some left but it's old. Have you ever heard anything about sanding down the CPU? Planing maybe it's called? |

Not unless you are already an experienced overclocker and willing to pay the consequences. And are already on a full water loop. |

@Op
Another crossfire tip is to disaple ULPS in your windows registry. Make sure your case has sufficient cooling, I had to add 3 more fans on the Corsair 500R to keep it cool. I own the Seasonic 850 your getting and I give it a great big thumbs up. |
