Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I think I got it dialed in. Been running prime95 with no throttling, CPU temp is hovering at 55 under load and is rock solid at 4.3.

At idle, Speccy shows temps all over the place, jumping between 50 & 60.

EDIT: Even at idle, the CPU keeps dropping to 3.5 for a second or so.

I have the CPU at 4.3GHz on 1.4v. This isn't the final voltage as it is hard locking. I keep inching it up after it locks. CPU and NB...
That rig does earn you some bragging rights, please don't abuse them.
Having a title of "KiLLeR System UnLeaSHeD! ROAR!!! MO FO'S!!!" makes you sound cocky.
Anyway, be sure to post some pics when you're done building it!
What cooler are you running? Are you running them at stock speeds?
Stock, the 4770k had a TDP of 84W while the TDP of the 8350 is 125W, meaning the 8350 does get a bit warmer.
I swear by g-skill RAM. I have used it in a lot of builds with no issues. I'm running Mushkin Enhanced Blackline in my main rig and Corsair Vengeance Pro in my Hackintosh.
