Damn, my delided 4770k at 4.5 is at 1.3 or no go. I got a pretty bad chip lol.
 
EDIT: you should post some pics of it here. http://www.head-fi.org/t/397869/pictures-of-your-computer-rigs-post-them-here/9705

Now I just did a massive revamp of my rig a few weeks ago
 

 
Before upgrade
CPU: Intel i5-750
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2H
RAM: Corsair DDR3 2x2GB 1333MHz
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 320GB
GPU: Sapphire HD5750 Vapor-X 1GB
PSU: Andyson F500m
Casing: Lancool K62
 
Now
CPU: Intel i5-4690k
Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212X
Motherboard: MSI H97 PC Mate
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR3 1600MHz
SSD: Transcend SSD370S 256GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB
GPU: Palit GTX970 Jetstream 4GB
PSU: Andyson F500m
Casing: Lancool K62
 
And now, some of you will be screaming "Why a H97 board?! Why a Transcend SSD?!"
 
Well, I did a good bit of research, and I found that unlocked CPUs are overclockable on MSI H97 boards. Yes it will not overclock as well as on a more expensive Z97 board like say the ASrock Extreme6, but it does still overclock pretty well, I find.
 
The Transcend was a pretty impulse purchase. I was actually looking at the Samsung 850 Evo 256GB, but when I saw the Transcend on offer, I jumped onto it even though I have no idea how good its performance is. Well it has been a few days and I am glad to say I like the Transcend SSD.
 
I am still planning how much to overclock. Now I am currently working, so I hardly have time to use the computer, let alone overclock. When I have a longer day that I am free, I will see how much I can push this. I believe with what I have I can push the CPU clocks quite a bit.

Why do you have a 1200 watt power supply? :eek:  :rolleyes:

It was from my previous setup.
I had two 480gtx in sli, heavily overclocked CPU, 10 standard hard drives, a bunch of fans... and pulling about 900w while gaming. Tested with a kill-a-watt plug... That's not including external hard drives, printers, monitor etc. only the computer, internals and USB devices plugged in.
Buying a 1000watt wouldn't be good as it isn't too efficient at high load.
Gold class is most efficient and likely a gold series 1000watt would be enough, yet he components used in the Ax1200 were much higher quality and proven to provide better overclocks as the voltages are more stable between the 3.3g, 5v and 12v.
Generally fluctuations can cause freezes and lock ups, I spent a little more and you may believe it's overkill. But I had a good mail in rebate anyhow. The ax1200 in particular is a fantastic power supply and extremely stable.

Anyhow, no need in selling it or getting rid of it. I choose to continue to use it.
I moved over to ssd's now and most drives are in external NAS raid enclosures now.

I will test it again, but won't be surprised if I'm still pulling around 750-780watt (guesstimate)

Either way, I wasn't going to buy a new "smaller" power supply when this one has been an excellent choice in the last two builds I've had.
I recently downsized my case from a silverstone Raven RV01 to this tiny Haf XB evo II. Primarily as this is small and possible to carry around! :wink:
It's still heavy as hell!
But shed about 20lbs doing the swap to this new case.
