^Is all of that voltage on the CPU necessary? It seems excessive to begin with (wasn't the maximum recommended by Intel 1.52v?), but since it's only at 4.5GHz it seems really bad. When I had a 2600K it hit 4.5GHz (with Hyper Threading enabled) with only 1.32v. It ran Prime95 for 36 hours with those settings. Maybe I got lucky and got a really good chip, or perhaps you were unlucky?
 
How is that monitor? I was considering it, but I took it off my list after my s27a550h developed serious color issues after only 2 days of owning it. I ended up getting a HP ZR2740w, and I love it.

yeah i hit 4.5 GHz on my 2500k with 1.35v, but then again, that was the most that MSI motherboard would even let me use. it was Prime95 stable for over 12 hours

Intel 3960X @ 4.9ghz ~1.35v
32gb RAM @ 1866 (downsized from 64gb, not needed yet) Corsair Vengeance
Asus Rampage IV Extreme mobo
1x AMD 7970 (not a hardcore/performance gamer atm)
LSI MegaRAID SAS9280-16i4e with SSD key (CacheCade/FastPath) and BBU
13x Seagate 2TB HDDs
4x Intel 510 series 250GB SSDs
Enermax MAXREVO 1350w PSU (future proof and has several/long connections)
Enermax GT Fulmo case lined with FatMat noise absorption panels (hint...hint...!)
Corsair H100 watercooler (gets the job done) push/pull Noctua 120mm fans
CyberPower 1350VA / 810W PFC compatible Pure sine wave UPS
BluRay Drive
TV tuner card
3x 27in. 1080p monitors
Corsair Vengeance K90 Mechanical Keyboard (reds are so smooth and not click/clacky)
Razer Naga Epic mouse (macros aren't just for gamers, neither is comfort lol)
2x Razer Goliathus Mouse pads
Razer Nostromo (Diablo III only)
 
Amazingly, my rig only consumes about 275w under normal/idle condition. I use this for many, many things. You name it, I do it. Except for 3D modeling.

I bolded the items I'm jealous of. Anyway, what's it like having 3 monitors? Any regrets? I went with a single high res screen instead of 3 low res ones.
 
How much does your PC weigh? lol

Well, in my opinion having three monitors is incredibly useful. It's one of those things you never want to lose once you've gotten used to it.

Having one big screen is a lot more convenient with regards to have near fields on your desk, on the other hand. Currently I'm putting my speakers sideways and resting the two outer screens on the speakers, but this is far from practical as you can imagine.

My 3x monitors are actually the Samsung 3D ones that have 120hz capability. It was nice when I had 2x 6990's but have long sold off those lava rocks lol and glad i did. Hi-Res is nice, but I found more screen real estate and a non-blurry image higher on my priority list. You can't run all 3 on 3D, just one, but that 120hz is oh so nice.
 
I also have an HDMI splitter that I use, that goes to a 47in. screen for even more viewing options.
 
Good question on the weight lol. I'm certain it's ~50lbs. Maybe more... casters on the bottom are a lifesaver. I bought those HDDs when they were $70 a pop, just before the natural disaster. I'm almost done with my second data rollover.
 
Tilpo is right, once you go 3 monitors, you can never go back. You've been warned! Oh, and that FatMat stuff is a god send, it stinks at first (tar) but goes away in a week. I'm surprised it hasn't been commonplace honestly.

You need some Nvidia 3D surround action. 2x GTX 690 anyone?
 
I would love to get 3 monitors, but my console gaming doesn't mesh well with the idea. (I game on both my Xbox and my PC) Maybe next gen will let you game with multiple screens? I doubt it.
