Glad you left Hyper threading on. Its not a true success overclock if you need to turn off hyper threading, heh. Congratz on the nice OC!! I use a 4.0Ghz overclocks because it does wonders for a fantastic memory overclock i have setup now. At 4.2Ghz my memory gets pretty iffy at 2000mhz. But at 4.0 I run my 1600mhz memory at 1914mhz @ 7-10-7-24 which is awesome!

 

Overall all your system looks great! I just recently got myself a GTX570 as well. So far im loving it, would love to see what two of them overclocked in SLI could do though! For now due to the fact that i just bought a brand new car. Another 570 is just gonna have to wait, heh.
