Nice work squid, that h100i is dwarfed by that case..

Sleeve that sata cable and you're done :P
 
Thanks for the comments!

It really does look small in that case but nice job, whats the pc used for btw

Its only mainly used for gaming but Im hoping I wont need to invest for at least another 3 years or so, my old q6600 beast lasted me about 5 years

Hsve you OC'd the 3770K with that badass cooler?!?!?

Ive got it running at 4.6 atm 1.275v idle its about 35 - 40 degrees full load well prime95 it gets to about 70 - 80 Im happy with that

See i have the h80i and the 2500k and planned on upgrading to a 3770k, but what scares me is the higher temps on ivy bridge cpus. I dont go over 60C-65c on my h80 now and idle at 28-33c at 4.2 stock voltage. The ivy bridge cpus pack all that power into 22nm as appose to 32nm on sandy bridge so of coarse they are going to run hot.

Ivy-bridge cpus can overclock nicely at 1.35v, so i wouldn't worry too much about it. The 22nm only becomes a problem at high voltages that you shouldn't use for 24/7 use anyway. So in my opinion, you should upgrade if all that is holding you back is what you just discussed.
 
Excellent choice in hardware buddy, however I would work a bit on those fan cables, and definitely switch around the cables directly in front of the PSU so that it doesn't look so much like a rats nest.

Either way great build :D
 
Awesome choices in your parts there, got some great gear and I've been a big fan of the switch 810 since i first saw it. Nice build.
