Yeah, I treated myself with the SSDs, they were and still aren't cheap. Prices will fall eventually.
The 12 gig of RAM does cause problems with OCing. Can only run at 1600 with all 12 gig, have to remove 6 gig to run at 1866. I got close to 1866 with 12 gig using 'memory up' in the BIOS but I didn't trust the voltages I saw. Bit wary, lots of voltage myths on the web about i7 and x58. Hopefully I can learn from other ppls mistakes. I'm in no rush.
Any/All i7 OCing tips would be welcome. 4.2 seems to be a wall at the moment. Over 4.2 requires removing some RAM and more indepth BIOS tweaking. Over 4 seems to be common for the 920. I was hoping (now praying) for a lot more than 4.2 to justify the price of the 965 EE.
Sayso, I see you're running a 920 @ 4.2. What are the NB temps like?
