I got RAM working at proper speeds enabling the proper profile instead of auto settings. The chipset fan is driving me nuts on the other hand - 3000+ rpm at all times. It might have been a bad idea mounting the GPU right on top of it after all :P will move it to the other PCI-e slot when I have some time.

Nice, while I was looking into it for you I boosted my own ram from the 1333mhz to 1600mhz by enabling profile also. Come on DDR3! You can last another 2 years till DDR5 hits the market!

Finally overclocked my i5-4670k to 4.3ghz and upgrading my RX470 to a GTX 1070 TI, that'll hold me over for a while. My CPU has done an admirable job lasting this long and I'm hoping it'll still manage 60fps in games for a while yet until I upgrade to Ryzen.

And yeah... I'm wary of getting a motherboard with a fan too. I'm kind of obsessed with having a quiet PC.

And not just for quietness, but also because a new fan is another component that can fail, and what happens when that fan fails?
