Excellent very informative and comprehensive article! I particularly liked the author's comments and advice on "go big" and allow for future expansion.

I built my system using EVGA 3-way SLI board and then switched to the E760 Classified board. I use a combination of BIOS settings as well as EVGA's E-Leet program to do my overclocking. Works well.

agreed - Gigabyte is incredible for newcomers to overclocking! Still, i gotta miss the good ol' days when drawing on ur CPU with a lead pencil was enough to unlock the clock multiplier 😉

Thank you for writing this article. As a first time builder I'm wanting to make informed choices of the equipment I want to buy. I'm looking forward to finding other articles like this one that will tell me more of what I need to know.

Normal temperatures are far higher, so your temperatures are exceptional.
