Yesterday, I built a computer for my friend. Here are the specs:
i5-3570k + Kuhler 620
Asus Maximus Gene V
8GB G.Skill DDR3 2133
Dual Zotac GTX 660 Ti
Xclio GoodPower 750w
NZXT Vulcan (all fan slots full)

I'm looking to overclock his system however, the GPU's get quite hot at 90 degrees when running Unigine and 30 degrees idle. The CPU is fine as it gets 57 under load.

Should I try and overclock the 660 Ti's even if the temperatures are already high?

Also, anyone have any tips with using the Maximus V? I looked at the BIOS and it looked so complicated compared to other boards I've worked with.

And there are issues with color and screen size as it is overscanned so the outer edge of the screen is not on the screen. 306 beta drivers.

Concerned about the PSU, what voltages are you seeing ?

temps should be about 7)C under load, 73C OC'd

Is this your first UFEI BIOS ?

I don't know how to check the voltages on the PSU. Also, the GPU's are right next to each other in a mATX case so the top one is 82 and the bottom is 73.

No I've used other UEFI BIOS before. Only on budget boards though so the options are very few.
