I need to post more on my Rig as well did some revamping and cable managment looks pretty sick i want to get another SSD but can't justify why right now
My current SSD is 60% full and I feel i need to do a re-install and get rid of some junk or just get a new one and hook this one on the spare rig
The OCZ are 104.00 at Microcenter plus a rebate knock it down to 89.99

Some very nice new rigs here! Congrats Tomha, psychotron , and simonwetting (we need some pics mate). Well done all.
On another note, I bought the cpu cooling "stuff" but the more I look at my chassis the more I think I shouldn't have bought the cpu "stuff", don't have the perfect amount of space for it and I think it will look over cluttered in there after I installed it all, so I may just end up with more unopened items in my drawer haha.
I think i im going out to get this today Micro Center - OCZ Technology Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-120G 120GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" Solid State Drive (SSD) with SandForce 2281 Controller AGT3-25SAT3-120
Now I'm going to spend some time reading about putting the image on the other drive or cloning
Or would you think just install and do a whole new reinstall ?
I have my Oc settings saved so that shouldnt be a issue correct
Just out of Curiosity is the vertex 4 better ? Because the read and write trumps the V4

simonwetting, Welcome to Seven Forums. That's some serious lighting going on there. What case is that, it looks like a BitFenix Coloussus, but I didn't know they came with a side window. Nice job, well done. Looks very good. How about filling out your system specs, we want to know what's inside.
I'll echo what Steve said: very good-looking rig. It'd be even better if we knew what was inside though; best I can make out is what looks like a H100 and the NZXT Hue.
I was supposed to run some things by you guys and here they are - I'm planning on replacing every single fan I'm currently using with some Phanteks units in either white with black fan blades or completely white, one BitFenix Spectre for the front 230, and one NZXT FN-200's for the side panel.
BitFenix Spectre [White] 230mm x1
Phanteks [White/Black] 140mm x2
Phantek [White/Black] 120mm x6
ZXT FN-200 [Black/White] 200mm x1
I know everyone always goes on about the instabilities of software overclocks and such, but I was a little bored and wanted to see how my system performed, so I went ahead and tried Asus' TurboV EVO OC utility. I went for the extreme setting and although it got to about 4.65ghz, it was unstable and caused a system crash, so it buttoned back to the current OC:
I haven't tested stability extensively, I've run prime95 for a while, but it could definitely do with further testing. I don't know if I will stick with the OC, I don't actually need it and it only stresses the components more. I was just experimenting with what the system could do.
Temps aren't amazing, under load the max temp I have seen is 78 degrees Celsius, although I think there are several reasons for this. First is the Ivy Bridge factor, although this should be..minimal. Second is my setup with the h100, first, my application of thermal paste wasn't fantastic, it wouldn't hurt to get some AS5 or something and try again, and I have swapped out the fans with some of my own. These fans aren't really meant to be radiator fans (well kinda, but they aren't high performance). I am sure if I swapped out the fans I could decrease temperatures a bit. Idle, it sits around 25 Celsius.
I believe the major issue with software overclocks are the resulting temps, a product of another issue, the generally high voltages set by the software. A Guy
