Assuming the fans on the rad are pulling out the top - you may be better with the rear fan intaking air.

That's the only suggestion I can come up with really - other than that, it looks great

...minus the AMD part of course

Yeah they are fella i was thinking of flipping the rear fan round, i was going to wait until i had a dust filter first tho. Thanks for the imput though i may need more when it comes to the custom loop next year haha

yeah bulldozer wasnt my choice it was my dads he got it for me, i am going to wait untill steamroller next year till i upgrade my cpu an motherboard tho.am pretty sure you ment the cpu not the gpu anyway haha

Steamroller should be a pretty stout iteration of the Bulldozer architecture from what I understand. A fine choice, definitely looking forward to seeing what you do with all the parts and tuning!

thanks bud i am very much looking forward to steamroller, and a motherboard that can overclock (as mine doesn't have the juice).i will be looking for thoughts on a custom loop, mainly about fittings as i know what res and pump i will be using
