Hi all, I'm new hear and found out about this place from TimeToLiveCustoms YouTube channel (which I've not long found out about either) and I've mainly signed up to get some help/advice on my new build (the thread in question is in the New Build Advice) forum but will no doubt be sticking around to ask many more questions about overclocking.

For those that might be curious my new build is as follows.

Case: Corsair 800D Obsidian

Motherboard: Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z (Z68 Chipset)

CPU: Intel i7 2600K 3.4Ghz (will be overclocking to 4.6Ghz)

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core Edition Classified x2 SLI

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz Dual Channel

CPU Cooler: Corsair H80

SSD 1: Corsair 120GB Force Series 3 (for OS)

HDD 1: WD 2TB Caviar Green

HDD 2: WD 1TB Caviar Green

Thanks mate and everyone else for the welcome.

I've updated that build slightly as I found out that the Synapse Cache drive ONLY works with a boot drive and not with storage devices, I asked OCZ if they plan on releasing a Dataplex firmware update to include storage drives and they basically said no. No doubt they will include in a Synapse Cache 2 or something to get people to go out and by that. Very disappointed.

Ive also just ordered a second GTX 560 448core classified. I've spoken with people on the EVGA forums and with Nvidia themselves and they said my AX750 will handle my setup along as I dont go overboard on the overclocking. Which isn't too big of an issue as I don't plan on over clocking the SLI setup anyway as the performance is more than adequate (in my opinion from the benches I've seen it's the best performance boost for SLI for any card on the market in terms of actual gain).

I'm also looking into getting some more case fans as S I N has informed me the 800D isn't the greatest tower for air cooling. If people could recommend me some fans that would be awesome preferably from dabs.com as they are who I get the majority of my parts from with the exception of Operation Systems which I get from software4students.com. Gotta love having relatives in education.
