Works fine BUT in BIOS it says 1.355V, in Everest is says 1.39V, CPU-Z says 1.044v???? OCCT gives the same readings as Everest
So I tried LLC Level 1 and the comp won't boot into Windows. It basically freezes while loading windows.
So now back to Factory settings of 3.4ghz | Why not stay oc'd? My llc is at level 5 now.

On 100% load highest core was like 79 degrees. Is that a safe temp?
Doesn't seem no matter how I adjust Vcore it doesn't change. CPU-Z no matter how low or high I set it shows as 1.044v and 1.39v on Everest.

Hmm, like I said mine does that too. Im sure voltages stay what they are at in the bios tho.
I've been reading how Sandybridge's voltages are read wrong on hardware monitors. Um at 4.7ghz @ 1.38v i hit a max of 72 degrees on the hottest core.\
edit:
I just tried HWiNFO64 and its showing the correct voltage: 
Kinda hard to see but its by "CPU CURRENT:"
ps. why did you fail me?

Some times it boots fast, some times it takes an extra 10-20 seconds. I have quick boot enabled and its not really too "quick"

HAHA WHOOPS! I didn't mean to Fail, I guess I thought I hit "Thanks". My bad. Too bad I can't fail my fail.
Thanks for that. It helped alot. I guess I should just ignore my Everest Vcore reading. I was puzzled by this the WHOLE time. I think it's a Mobo issue because it's so new. Every program I load doesn't recognize the Z68X.
Anyways, I'm biting the bullet. I'm getting the 600T in white tomorrow I think. I already picked up the Asus GTX560. Man you guys are baaaaad for me.
On a side note is anyone interested in the white LED strip lighting? More or less exactly like this http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=52...acture=LIAN-LI but with out the plug. Just need to solder your own molex onto it and you're good to go.
One foot is 8$, One roll of 16.4ft is $80 ($5 foot). Sure beats $20 +tax/foot from Lian-Li. If we have enough people we can split a roll.

Cman333, whats your temps for load (push pull)? Also, which fans are you using on it? | I take back what I said about the Coolit ECO.
Turns out I was rushing to put it in and didn't screw two of the screws tight enough. Once I tightened it my CPU temps dropped another 5-8 degrees.
Might need to try and OC higher now. Hottest core temp is 64 degrees on 100% load. Sweeeet.

I guess I'd better look for some feedback on my build as well.
Case: Corsair Graphite Series 600T White
Processor: Intel i7 2600k
Mobo: Asus Sabretooth P67 Rev 3.0 w/ Dual DDR3 1866, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, 1394, PCI-E, Quad CrossFireX / SLI
Ram: GSKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB PC3-12800 Dual Channel DDR3 Kit (2 x 4GB)
Video Card: GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E w/ Dual DVI, HDMI
PSU: Corsair TX 750W Power Supply w/ 140mm Fan
SSD: Intel 320 Series 120GB Solid-State Drive
HD: Already have an internal 1TB kicking around.
TOTAL: 1063.95 + tax
This will be my first build, and I'm only building because I'm taking full advantage of Intel's summer deal on the processor and the SSD.
Comparing the GTX 560 Ti with the GTX 570, I didn't see too much of a jump in performance for the extra money.
I would love to hear some feedback on anything! I haven't quite looked into cooling, as I wouldn't know where to start.

Everyone catching the white 600T bug, lulz
You can probably go lower PSU wattage even if you have multi GPU plans to save some $. 750W is way overkill; 550, 650 is good enough.
Cooling eh... *coughmysigcough

Wish there was more room between cards, but they seem to be at a good temp.

How come you have a Kingston SSD there? Sandforce based ones are faster.
