Here's my opinion... Since you like to run vantage, 3dm11, and 3dmark, then x79 is only answer.

Get evga x79 dark or Asus riv black ed, a 4930k, and 16 gb of quad channel mem 4g sticks. I like gskill, but Samsung mem is best of you can find it. Mem isn't all that important anyway.

I'd go with the dark over the asus. That's all you need. Mobo, cpu, and ram.

On another note, that vbios must be hosed, because power slider is needed to support the oc's. You should should see big results.

Hallo, I checked with my mate and you have to use precision and enable kboost. It sets the cards at the clocks you want, and disables the boost thingy. Otherwise your cards with throttle back. Oh and then move that slider all the way to max.

Ok Guys, Judging from Your Comments, These are the Items I should get at the Very Least to Start with:
1) EVGA X79 Dark
2) 4930K (Why Not a 4960K?)
3) 2 x 1TB SSD's (RAID 0)
4) 4 4GB or 8 4GB RAM ( I already Have 6 4GB RAM - Corsair Dominator GT 2000C9 - or Should I go with Faster RAM?)
 
Also, Since the GTX 780 Classifieds are Limited to only 3-Way SLI without special "Scripts" and MUST use only 320.49 and Older Drivers to enable 4-Way SLI, AND the Fact That Most of the Top Scores in Futuremark are produced with 2 x TITAN's in SLI, Wouldn't it be better to Sell My three GTX 780 Classifieds and Purchase Two TITAN's (To Start With) Instead? (Doesn't Matter Whether I get 2, 3, or 4......They WILL be on Water Cooling!)
 
If I DO End up (Eventually) with 4 x TITAN's (Which I ASSUME will work in 4-Way SLI on an EVGA X79 Dark), My Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Isn't Going to Cut It, so Which PSU (Possibly TWO) would You Recommend? Possibly Two EVGA 1500W Units?
 
 
BTW:
I Just Noticed on The EVGA Product Page I can't just go out and Buy More than TWO TITAN's per Household, or Even FOUR 780Ti KSE's per Household without being "Auto-Notified" First, So I guess the Best "Plan of Attack" at the Moment is to Purchase an X79 Dark and an INTEL 4960K using My Existing Corsair Ram and Also Unfortunately have to" Make Do" with the Three GTX 780 Classifieds I have to Start with!
 
Man, I'll Tell You What, Even When You WANT to Spend the Money on these Expensive EVGA Products You Need (No 1500W PSU's available Either ATM), It takes an Act of GOD to Find what You Need!    

Hmmmmm...............I Think It's About Time To Give the 'Ol CHILLER a Little Workout Again!
 
BwaaaHaaaaHaaaa!!!
 
If I'm going to Spend Booku $$$$$ on a New Rig, Then It's Time Once Again to
 
"GET IT COLDER!!"

:D

I noticed that heat Dave.  Been playing with the Dark the last few nights.  A simple fan took care of the problem.  NB Chipset gets way hot too.

Well, EK Supremacy as well as Apogee HD will work too.  Maybe get the air cooler waterblock from Nate.....

Yep, you got text

Decisions, Decisions........What to Do, What to Do........
 
I'm Sure Everybody Knows I've been Building My Rigs Over the Years Strictly for Benching and Reaching Out for Every Point I can Get with Mainly EVGA Motherboards/Graphics Cards and other EVGA Products. 
 
But Honestly, While I Do Know What CPU/Memory I want to use, I Just Can't seem to make up My Mind on whether an EVGA X79 Dark/4930K would get Higher Performance/Benching Scores than an ASUS RIVE/RIV BE/4930K!
 
Lately I Keep Going Over/Looking/Analyzing the Futuremark Scores/Statistics, and Even though there are More of EVGA Graphics Cards used for High Scores in the Hall of Fame, They are Also being used with ASUS RIVE/ RIV BE Motherboards!, And Please Don't Hate Me for Saying So because I have ALWAYS Used EVGA MB's and Graphics Products since 2008!
 
Maybe I Need to do some more Research Before I Actually have to Commit Myself to an Insane Asylum!
 

Asus Rampage Extreme has the reputation, for many years, for being the extreme overclocker's board.  Evga broke into that realm with the 680 if you remember, then gained ground with our beloved Classified 759.  Seems like everyone had a classy, but then R&D team left Evga, so everyone went back to Asus.  I've had a number of Asus boards in between.  
 
Only a few extreme folks use the Dark, but not because Asus is better.  There were some BIOS issues with the Dark to begin with, which didn't do anything for evga's rep.  They are pretty much ironed out now.  And truthfully, those were issues that a guy like you or I could care less about.
 
The RIVE is hit or miss.  A high % of the boards are RMA'd. If you get a good sample, you're happy.  Otherwise....  The Black Edition is too expensive and everyone already has a RIVE.  Sham and Andre left Asus.  Vince bleeds Evga, so we'll get good support there. 
 
I already know the Dark is just as good as the Asus counterpart.  The data and users on my team already verified.  And TBH the mobo isn't going to be all that important in the hierarchy of critical components.  It ain't gonna make a bad chip, good, or a good chip better.

OK Guys, I Have Made up My Mind on What to Buy, And This is the ONLY Way I Will Know For Sure WHAT Will Work the Best For Me by using the "Trial and Error" Method!
 
Here is What I have Just Purchased From Newegg in an All Out "Testing" Effort to Decide What New Components My New Overclocking/Benching Rig will use along with My Existing Three EVGA 780 Classifieds as a "Starting Point"!
 
BTW: ALL Testing will be done on AIR COOLING ONLY (CPU/GPU/MB) to make the "Playing Field" Even!
 
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!...................
 

 

 

 

Very nice hallowen!!!! That will be very interesting to see the results of. What cooler are you going with?

@ John, I had the same experience with my sabertooth coming from an x79 classified, clocked much better and much more stably.

Very nice hallowen!!!! That will be very interesting to see the results of. What cooler are you going with?

I will be using a Prolimatech Megahalem with One 120mm Fan.

Yep, looks good.

Damn, you making want to go grab a board!. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
