I have gotten dual booting down pat
and everything seems to be working great, I have not tested the USB 3.0 Ports on the rear. But the USB 3.0 Ports on the front have picked up in System Specs.What do you recommend I do to get the most out of my machine? I have a Stock CPU Cooler so I'm not sure about over clocking just yet as I am not really familiar with it. But the thing is amazingly fast programs open almost instantly...

I've OC'ed to 4.2GHz, as it is the max OSX will support. It's really easy, just change the multiplier to 42 in the BIOS.
The cooler I use is the Corsair H60 Hydro Cooler, which was $55 on special. The stock cooler is OK only if you don't OC...
It would be unfortunate to own a K processor and not OC it...

I've been thinking about getting the Antec Hydro Cooler, do you have to change the voltage? Or can you leave it at Auto?

The store where I bought my stuff strongly recommended Corsair for the cooler...
All I did was change CPU multiplier to 42x and Memory multiplier to 16 (because I have Corsair 1600MHz). Did not touch anything else from CPU/memory defaults.
Also make sure you check OC'ed SSDT in Multibeast.

Alright Sounds Good, I will have to save up some money and grab that CPU Cooler, I definitely want the most out of this machine.

The store also spoke highly of the Antec KÜHLER H?O 620, however the person I was dealing with had the Corsair installed in his machine.
I picked Corsair because it was on special and I already had Corsair memory.
My understanding is that there is nothing wrong with Antec either.

The only reason I had considered the Antec was i think it's 20 cheaper on Amazon.
I honestly cannot believe how flawlessly this computer is working. I am happy I came to this website and got all of the reassuring advice from people like yourself.
