First build purchase imminent!

I would also test the overclock with IntelBurnTest and OCCT.

Hawker1986 I think you must have got a good one! Mine doesn't like that at all, screen goes black after a while and I have to restart. Not really comfortable with going over 1.4v for normal use either unfortunately, so no 3.6+ghz for me at the moment. If Orthos just quits without any notification, is that because of my overclock or because the program is faulty?

No I wouldnt recommend going over 1.4v at all. If it just quits out totally I would say it may be an issue with the program. Try OCCT instead.

Thats rather bad luck if it cant manage it .

Got it running at 3.375ghz at the moment with 1.3625v (seems to be max that intel recommend) so I'm happy. Temps are still about right, around 65 max under load but around 40 idle. Passed 10 runs of the intel burn test.

Thanks for the guidance everyone!
