After spending months getting my FX8350 stable at 5.0GHz with CFVZ and then aiming for 4.5GHz with the Gigabyte x79-UP7 with the 3930K, I went and bought a Rampage IV Extreme. With the two previous setups I must have spent at least 100 hours overclocking and testing.
With the RIVE I set it to the gamer OC profile of 4.7GHz and set my RAM to their recommended settings. I ran Prime 95 overnight and BOOM!! Temps never went over 50C and I'm done. In some very strange way I almost feel cheated? Great job ROG team!

Overclocking on the Rampage IV Extreme is so easy it's stupid

My New GPU
Well, I returned one of the 7970's and my original one I had to RMA. The crossfire wasn't working out too well with games and I got sick of troubleshooting. I also got a set of CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 Desktop Memory Model CMD16GX3M4A2133C9. The problem is, is i cant get a stable OC on the RAM at 2133 and anything on my 3930K over 4.0. It could be the Gigabyte X79 UP4 or my lack of knowledge with a Gigabyte board.
Here is my now with a MSI 5450
