Don't let the wife know she isn't considered an upgrade?

yeah. will post some pics when i get chance.
one thing i noticed, since i clocked it to 4ghz its always at that speed. before it was throttling when not needed. new BIOS have so many options i cannot find where that setting is now, or what its called lol.
temps are good so far. about 40c after an hour of GTA V. 60fps solid with everything on max
great fun game too.
not as quiet as i hoped though, HSF fans dont seem to be affected by mobo fan speed setting. need to tweak this at some point. when i am happy with the OC, hoping to get to 4.3 or 4.4 but not had the time to spend on that, wanted to play some games!
PC is:
MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB
WD 4TB Green Drive 3.5" SATA-III
Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5GHz
Crucial CT250BX100SSD1 BX100 250GB SATAIII 2.5inch SSD
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-GAMING 5 Socket 1150
Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator and Fan
BeQuiet Silent Base 800 Orange Gaming Case
HyperX Savage 16GB 2400MHz
SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold"
a TV tuner card TBS? cant remember
another annoying thing, partitioned the SSD to have a 70gb C drive and rest on a gaming partition. but windows backup only allows me to backup the whole disk, not the partition. which was the reason i partitioned in the first place. is this some quirk with windows, partitions and SSDs as i have never had a big enough one to partition before
