Ram has little heatsinks in the way?
Exactly. If I turn the heatsink by 90 the huge bugger hits the ram.

By the way, are you gonna get a windowed panel for the 690II for showing off your new computer's "internal organs" after you done with the build and cabling tidying?
IF I get to a point I am happy with my cable management I shall buy the windowed side panel.
Right now I am not a fan of braided cables. Too inflexible and I'm scared I'll break them

Right I think I'm at a point I can try the machine and install windows.
Though I'm not sure how I'll ever get this tidy

haha I had the same feeling.
You could take the motherboard power cable through the bottom gap in case and reappear (like magic) next to the power socket on the board.

So far so good, though it threw me by displaying the bootup on the 'wrong' monitor. I'm quite enjoying looking round the bios. I do miss the days of DOS.
CPU temp in bios seems to be hovering between 35 and 37 at 4ghz.
2 options I can find that were in IDE but I changed them both to AHCI. Hopefully that's all I need to do to get my ssd working optimally (as far as the bios is concerned I mean)

Yep that's what I plan on doing but the braided cables are a little inflexible atm. I shall massage them or get extensions. Same with the pci-e cables. Braided might look better but they don't seem to like to play ball.
So far so good. Now I need to install some important stuff. Windows boots up so fast on this ssd. I look forward to benching it, once, to see if it's as fast as others have theirs.

I have same Mobo and had similar problem, I chose a Gelid Tranquillo and it JUST about fits with the fan orientated towards the memory slots. I have 2 X 2Gig, It would be a very very tight squeeze to use the other two slots. (if not impossible)
Be interested to see how your overclock goes I'm running std, because overclocking is a bit too much for my lonely brain cell..
Chose same case too and have to say I'm well chuffed with it, nice quality case.
There's also a BIOS update for the P55-USB3, It's up to F9, if you're interested.

My first post from my new PC
Running prime95, been running for 30 mins, and max temp has been 74 degrees on one core.
How long for prime95 to run is a good indication of stability? I've run the test that messes with the memory as well.

to make sure its fully stable i would say 8 hours of prime 95
or 20 runs of linx

I just noticed that when running prime my overclock, according to realtemp, dropped back down to the i5 760's standard 2.8ghz? As soon as I stopped prime realtemp said the cpu speed went back up to 4ghz.
That seems a bit strange. Any idea's?

what does CPU-Z say while your running Prime?
That's a very good question to which I don't have an answer. I am running prime again now with realtemp and cpu-z running and both keep changing. The multiplier keeps going between 9x and 21x.
