no BSOD while doing graphically intense gaming

Good deal I hope that adds some stability to your system..:)

i'm not going to mark it as solved just yet, i'll have to stress test it first

Good idea..

Just a follow up to what's happening, no BSOD yet, played a few games, including emulated gamecube games for an extended amount of time, still seems to run hot even though I stripped out my PC's innards and give them a good cleaning out, but no signs of crashes or any problems whatsoever, however since updating my BIOS, I no longer have SLI-capable memory, whereas before I did, now says on post "SLI ready memory- 4 Dimms not capable" instead of before it said "SLI ready memory detected - expert mode"

Right, a few updates, freezing stopped with gaming, but frequent BSOD's were happening while surfing the net, usually when watching anything flash based, so i finally clicked that my BIOS flashing was to blame, so just reverted back to previous BIOS and no BSOD's yet, but before i could boot, i tried to revert my clock speeds to the ones shown in my specs (3GHz CPU and 5-5-5-15 Timings on RAM) booted to windows and it bluescreened before i could even get to the boot logo, so got it on stock CPU speed and 5-5-5-15 T2 timings and it seems to boot fine.
