Fingers crossed though.
And I freaking love that crosshair V board man.
Yepp. That Crosshair V, and the FX-4100 are both holding up to the abuse of being overclocked by a noob like me... I had it up to 4.5ghz at I think it was 1.44 volts. The CoolerMaster 212+ was keeping it at about 55-60C, which is fine in general, but for me was a little uncomforting considering this will likely be a 24/7 rig. So I went and got the Corsair H100. I know it's overkill for now, but it has room for expandability.
I'm also seriously considering a second 7770, in crossfire for now... I would have a use for them later on, and I could really use the extra horsepower when I get my second and possibly third monitors... I just can't wait till the PileDrivers come out... The FX-4100 just isn't enough for a freak like me... I need the successor to the FX-8150.
And some Bitspower Red LED strips... those would be nice. This thing is quite dark inside right now
