Nice! biggrin.gif May I suggest you swap the green LEDs with Blue's to match the Phantom's colors?

Cheers. smile.gif

I am swapping the blue fan in there out, it is the one that came stock in the top of the case but couldnt afford all the fans I wanted at purchase. I am also going to swap out the stock power and HDD leds in the case to green and add a green led sleeve. Also going to custom paint it when the time comes biggrin.gif

You should avoid unlocking or any intense overclocking because the 970A-G46 has been confirmed failure prone with a stock FX 8-core and retains the failure-prone design and standards seen in past lower end MSI AMD boards.

I know, I have been unsuccessful achieving a stable 4ghz for 24/7 use on the chip. So I keep it down at 3.8ghz at 1.38v. An Intel 2550K paired with either a Gigabyte Sniper board or Asus thermal armor board are the upgrades I plan for in the near-ish future, whenever watercooling comes into the picture. I say this because the only CPU blocks I really like are Intel, the performance boost will be cool too thumb.gif

Edit: I just stumbled upon the new series of AMD chips, this one catches my eye. I'd like to see some bench's of it against some of the 1155 Intel chips.
