Built my new rig

[KING_OF_SAND]

So I finally went the way of Intel and Nvidia. While I loved my 6990, maintaining the waterloop has become to much of a burden and took up WAY to much time just to do even simple computer upgrades. So yesterday I went out to my local Frys Electronics and picked up a ASUS Maximus IV Gene-z Gen3 board, Intel 2500k (which I got to 5ghz, and will post results soon with temps), and a GTX570SC from EVGA (which I will be overclocking soon too). Right now I am typing this while the MOBO drivers are being installed. I will post all my results here soon.

So far I am loving it. I managed to get my GPU to 880c and 2000mem at 1075mv But I have one concern with my CPU, or mobo?

When I go to 5ghz at 1.42v my Ethernet controller goes out? why? At 5ghz I am completely stable, max temp 72c ran 3dmark 11 with no hitch, ran prime for 30min but for some reason my Ethernet does not work.

I got it. I just upped the volts a little and it worked again. Just a little instability.
