Nice one, i really like the sabertooth as it makes the inside look smart.

Also do you think you could get the i5 to 5GHz with this cooler?

Check your ram is in the right spot as it may not work with the slot changing as it is assigned a spot based on how many sticks.

Yeah, depends on your ambient temps and vcore, if you got a nice chip like 1.37-1.40v maybe higher to get on 5ghz It could handle it easily. I got my chip to 4.8Ghz on 1.38v like I said earlier haven't seen it go above 65c, but when summer comes well you know. I like the way sabertooth looks also I didn't really like the colors much though the ugly green and tan but with all the parts installed I knew it would cover it.
