For our tests we will be using a Phanteks PH-TC14PE to cool the Intel Core i7-3930K CPU in the Corsair Graphite 780T.

We decided to test the Graphite 780T with both Nvidia and AMD's finest graphics cards.

These took the form of the Asus RoG GeForce GTX 780Ti Matrix (review here) and the Sapphire Radeon R9 290X Vapor-X OC (review here).

We manually overclocked the i7-3930K to 4.6 GHz by increasing the multiplier to 46x, leaving the baseclock set at 100 MHz. The voltage was increased to 1.39V to achieve this frequency.
