Well after tinkering with my build while waiting for my forum account to be activated I think I may have already solved my problem! (fingers crossed!) Been running stable for almost 2 hours now...
Anyways I just built a new PC, spec are:
ASUS p9x79 pro mobo
gskill F3-19200CL10Q-32GBZHD ram kit
core i7 3.6 ghz cpu (right now clocked @ 4.2ghz)
eVGA GTX 680 4 gb video card
2 x samsung 730 256 gb SSD (just single drives, non-raided)
corsair vengeance c70 case w/ corsair 850watt power supply
corsair h70 stand alone liquid cooling for processor
Was able to get system up and running stable with ram running @ 2133 mhz, even with clocking CPU all the way up to 4.6 ghz. However when I would try to load the XMP profile @ 2400 mhz, sometimes would boot, sometimes not, and if so would lock up between 5~15 minutes.
I did not have the memory fans installed as I didn't think I would need them. So I installed one though the 2nd one would not fit as the radiator for the CPU cooler was in the way over that memory bank. However I did have a left over corsair memory fan in my old CPU, which is a smaller profile and was able to fit. So just switched those two out and as I said, up and running stable for about 2 hours which is much longer than before so hopefully that was the problem. Just figured I'd share my experience, and if it does lock up I'm sure I'll be asking some questions!
