    First time builder here

    Case: Xigmatek Elysium (Ye ye, i know its big, but i got plans)

    CPU: i5-2500k at 4.35Ghz (Cores was on 60* celcius during prime95 and never above 52* C during 25 man raid, mostly around 45* C)

    CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14 (The NH-D14 doesnt fit in the Elysium because of big side fan, but this is just as good)

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance low profile 1.5 V 1600Mhz 2x4GB

    Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 PRO B3 (Love the BIOS!)

    HDD: Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB

    PSU: Corsair AX 850W PSU

    GPU: The MSI GTX 560TI Twin Frozr II (Running at 1Ghz Core Clock at 1.05 V. Damn cool this thing, on full loads its only 60* C, got Xigmateks huge side fan drawing hot air away from this badboy)

    Question is, how far can I push the 560ti? No idea on how far I can go.

    Since its late at night, and my camera sucks enough as it is, ill provide pictures later

    1GHz on the core clock on a 560 Ti is really quite high. At stock 560 Ti's are I believe 800MHz. So be careful.

    Excellent build quality and very good airflow. I couldn't ask for a better mid tower and it's worth quite a bit more than it's $50 price tag imo.
    Newegg doesn't stock NZXT cases on their Canadian website unfortunately.

    It's not like it's going to fry or anything shall you try to push it. Unless you tinker with the voltage.
    Not resposible for any damage caused.

    2x DCII 580's = 3kg, mwhahaha.

    Cables could use some work (as you already know) but otherwise that's a beastly build
    What overclocks are you running with that H100?

    It's not tri-sli so you should not use two SLI bridges. You may in fact end up with problems having two bridges connected like that. Red tint or lower framerate.

    Also interested in finding out temp of the upper card seeing as it has no breathing room ;o

    Well I hope you're aware that running SLI 580's puts quite a lot of strain on your CPU and overclocking will be extremely beneficial. That, and the fact you're using a $120 cooler and a $335 enthusiast-level motherboard....what's going on here....
