I'm happy!

Wait! What? What you mean it was a pain in the ass? I was under the impression it was pretty plug and play these days.

This is my first "real" PC. Everything else has been from best buy's under $500 shelf. I'm already extremely happy with my graphics, but if I can pick up a slightly used 760 for $150 and go from high to very high on GTA O, I'll be EXTATIC!

I know I'll get poked at a little for this, but it may be worth it. I have an EVGA GTX 760 2mb w/ACX. I wanna give SLI a try. Even If there's a better option, I've never tried it and just wanna. It seems most people will recommend something in the 700w power range for this. Well I already...

Hmm.. Primer. Prolly a good idea. The surface to be painted already seems (textured?) enough that I shouldn't have to sand or steel wool it. So, as long as I use quality paint and primer and let cure well, I should be good to go!

I have a HAF 912 sitting on a shelf on the wall. From where I sit, I can only see the intake-side and rear of case. My wall has a brown / red theme to it and the silverish back plate is such a sore thumb. Can I, after completely dismantling the case of course, safely use red spray paint on...

Made my machine last year, but had to use old HDD's. Yesterday I installed my new 3TB HDD, and tomorrow I'll have my new 250gb SSD. Yay! I Love a new upgrade! But now I seem a bit lost. I obviously want my Win7 on my SSD, aaaaand I GUESS everything else on the new HDD.....? Right? Whats gonna...

Thanks for the replies. As for the fans, I've already got four installed, 2x200mm and 2x120mm. One of each per direction. How much of a difference would it make to install another fan ON the Evo? I only have the one it came with right now. Any more opinions out there?

Oh yeah.. And whats this PLL I keep seeing pop up in forums? It's set at default right now. Maybe I should drop it and see what happens?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Xl4l Hope that link works. Should be my build. I'm OC'd to 4.2, and set the Vcore to -0.090. Will not boot at -0.100. I'm running Prime95 small FFT's right now and using CpuZ to monitor temps. My hottest temps list as follows: 68, 72, 69, 66. My average temps...

I was only using it to monitor things as well. I have Cpu-Z and RealTemp.

I OC'd to 4.4, ran prime95 for 8 hours, and everything held up fine. Figured temps COULD be a little lower so I've been working on undervolting it yesterday and today. So far, I've managed to drop the Vcore by -0.060 successfully for 30 min, and am currently testing -0.070. I haven't touched...

i5 3570k @ 4.3 z77 extreme4 8gb g.skill sniper series 2400mhz windows 7 And to IInuyasha: I love when a suggestion is so simple it makes me just go "DUH!" Removed and Resolved! Thank You!

It was working fine, and out of the blue it crashes on every start up now. I already un/re installed it. I know its quite a popular board sooooo..... anyone else have/fix this issue??

Nice. You nailed it. My first temp is the lowest, and the middle two are the highest. Feel better now.
