Just posting my new rig that I am working on. Intel I5 3570k LGA 1155 H105 water cooler Gigabyte G1 Sniper M3 mobo Antec case Samsung 840 evo 250gb ssd main drive WD red 2TB(2) in Raid Sapphire HD 7870's in CF on air Corsair XMS3 1600 DDR3 ram (8gb) Antec 850 modular PS Windows 7 I plan to surf the intronets, play some games and have fun with OC on everything. My old rig was a E8400 and EVGA 780I FTW with vmodded 9800gtx+ in SLI. I have a Samsung 24" monitor 1920x1200 5ms LCD. Looking at upgrading to a 27" PHP: [PHP][PHP] [/PHP][/PHP]2560x1440 later this year.
I have it up and running. I have 2 corsair 140mm white fans blowing up threw my h105 on top of the case, and the stock 120's blowing up drawing air threw the 240mm radiator. My temps are looking good, I plan to lap the water block first, then chip. I have found a stable 4.7 with 1.32volts idle temp 32c and full load temp less then 62c. I am reloading to see what 4.8-4.9 does and try for 1.375v under load. Then it's into the CF 7870's I am at 15%+ power and 1100 core we will go up from here.
for 4.8ghz with my 3570k I needed around 1.37 - 1.39v, I never got to 4.9 stable with her, perhaps due to the mobo (it was nice but not an overclockers board perhaps you could say), best I got was 4.85 stable using around 1.4v I like my current board a lot though, prefer it to my ol' gigabyte z77x up4 th and I prefer yours to that one too. Sniper club ftw, one more user and we should start one.
