    Installing the PSU and a few other bits while I wait for delivery of the rest. The Bitfenix Recon Fan Controller is a nice touch screen. easy to use and setup

    My original plan was blue lighting, however ive opted for red and orange. I still need to get some Red LED's to replace the top blue ambient on the top of the case.

    Next step is water and a few extra mods. ... but that will have to wait until funds are available.

    So how are you getting on mate? Did the reinstall of the AMD drivers fix the issue completely?
    What clock speed are you running now?

    To fix the issue I had to disable flash hardware and not have GPUZ running in background.

    GPU:
    Mem: 6450Mhz
    Core: 1120 Mhz

    CPU @ 4.4Ghz
