Is this where I sign up for counselling?:huh: I need help because this has turned into an obsession and I won't sleep until I achieve a stable 24/7 5.0GHz overclock. 
I got hooked last year when my son wanted a gaming rig for Christmas. I couldn't afford an off the shelf system like Alienware and figured I could build one myself for much less. That's when I first found out about overclocking! I was able to build him a very nice i5-2500K system with GTX560ti and all the trimmings (including monitor, keyboard and mouse) for less than USD$1,500.
I enjoyed building that so much that this year I wanted to do something for myself. I wanted to get into watercooling and maybe even fool around with sub-zero cooling. I just finished my build which is in my signature. I think I won the lottery with my i7. After delidding my 3770K, I am able to run ten passes of IBT at 5.0Ghz while keeping my volts below 1.4 and temps below 65 but I can only keep Prime95 running for a few hours before crashing. +++++:banghead:
