Oh dear GOD, hide your cables man! Also, is your heat sink hitting your RAM? :O

Yeah as I said I'm going to clean it up a bit when I get a longer SATA cable for my DVD-RW.

No the heatsink isn't hitting my ram, outside of these little rubber flexible things used to hold the fan in place/dampen vibrations. It' doesn't apply any pressure to the ram at all.

Very nice Synthaxx!
I thought you made an actual video but it's just a slideshow >_< but still sexy setup you've got there.
Who cares about how messy it gets behind the mobo, out of sight out of mind :P

Finally got my PC setup the way I want over the weekend. The only thing I can think to add is maybe a couple of extra monitors...

Try 1.76V (assuming your RAM runs at 1.65v usually). Also, just ordered that board for myself so i've got the option of going 3-way SLI in the future if i so wish (although that's not gonna happen for the foreseeable future). Still convinced there's a better way for me to route the cables behind the motherboard though.

Ah, yeah I'll try that when I get home tonight. This is the product link for the RAM I purchased... the timings are adjusted to 7-7-7-20 so perhaps that may also be why I get the BSOD's if I try to kick up the speed.

Ooh definately! Sandy Bridge is MASSIVE on clocks and not so big on timings. As it is, from my testing, i only saw a very small increase in throughput with tighter timings. I realise this is a massive increase in timings, but try 10-12-10-30. If it was an older, non-sandybridge setup, i'd advise against loosening timings so much, but on my 2600K, i actually found them to have almost no effect on throughput, if any at all. Essentially, timings are there just for stability now, as opposed to stability and speed.

This 2600K saw something like 4GB/s throughput increase by going from 1866 to 2133. Admittedly, i did have to increase voltages beyond what i was previously comfortable with, but the gain is worth it.

I played around with the voltage and timings, and even updated the BIOS to 1303 on that ASUS board and couldn't get it to not BSOD. On top of which, it would disable some other motherboard components like the LAN and USB 3.0 ports for example. Kind of weird, but anyway, I decided that I'll probably order the G.Skill Ripjaws X 2200 off NewEgg (wish the 15% off memory coupon still worked) and return these memory modules back to Microcenter. Hey, maybe the perfect excuse to upgrade with the store credit to a Vertex 3 SSD...

This one here. It lists DDR3-2000 on that description, but there is no option in BIOS for it nor mention of it on ASUS's own product page.

Very nice! I see that you're also using the Corsair 800D case. Is that Helix-looking cylinder in the 2nd pic part of the water kit? Also, I'd be curious to see your Quad-SLI benchmarks. You've obviously dropped an insane amount into that rig. I bet you'll be testing it out all weekend.
