Ignore the garden chair :eek: and keyboard, upgrading soon.
 
Download CPU-Z it will tell you how fast your cpu is currently running or check in BIOS.

Very nice pc you got there, load some new games up on it now. :p

What's the HAF-X like by the way? is it quiet?

Also use HWmonitor or Realtemp if you want to see your temps.
 
ohhh - just read that you've got the pc now ooops! Oh well it is still a kick ass rig! Enjoy!!!

hopefully in the next few months I will have two 580's running inside:D

Also this is what I get on cpu z, if someone who know what all this means can see any problems? I chose the Stage 4: Overclock of CPU/Memory - 25% Overclock (Proceesor
