I built this PC one year ago and it was my first build, it was in fact my first Windows PC. After a long learning curve and 12 months it is finally working and stable. The problem with high temps that was plaguing me I finally solved yesterday after months of fiddling, replacing and swapping things around, in the end it was bloody dust in the grills, almost 20 degrees gain after cleaning the grills and now it runs almost silent too.
Anyhow I'm no expert so I have taken some shots of my OC and temps for anyone who has time to have a quick look at. I collected about 10 examples of other OC of the i7 4930K on the X79 boards with equivalent cooling and mine looks very similar I think, in fact my P95 temps are now a little better than most, the average getup seems to be 1.4V with X45 at 100 BCLK with temps maxing in the mid 80's. I think my idle temps are a little high but it's hard to find examples of this on line.
In the pictures the CPU VCore number did not show up as it was a pastel colour but it's on manual and set to 1.37.
The thing that still concerns me is the memory. I have never fully understood all the timings and have had to put them in manually myself. The memory has 2 profiles of which I am running at the lower 2133MHz. 11-13-13 then the next number changes depending where you look on line from 30 to 32. Kingston dose not list this number anywhere and other sites vary. The XMP profile has it at 32 so I have stayed with this.
In the picture you can see 4 columns for the 4 slots of ram in there, each with a letter "A,B,C,D" but the "B" column has different numbers to the other 3? Is this a problem?
The last little thing is that I got rid of the Corsair fan app and the Asus fan expert along the way as one was playing up and the Asus suit seemed to be generally untrusted. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible and it all works fine apart from one fan, the Noctua on the left in the picture. It runs at about 250RPM. I have 4 intake and 2 exhaust of which this is one. I'm not overly concerned as everything is running fine also with the dust issue I'm trying to keep the pressure high in the case to prevent build up. But I would like to know why it runs so slowly.
Memory:
These are the temps browsing the web
These are the Temps after one hour of Prime 95 but the max min was reset 5 minuets before but nothing ever went above the early 70's.
I've gone on a bit as usual so I'll stop now but this is all new to me so if you are looking at this and you see something wrong I'd appreciate knowing something's up. All the best.

240GB SSD Corsair I think, I cant remember.
3 HDD 2x3TB and one 4TB but I only have the one hooked up at the moment. The other 2 were in a RAID 0 running of the board but I took it all apart when it started having problems.
