My new build - Kaizen

[mako69]

Ok...i finally got my comp up and running, tested it a few rounds, thrown a game or two at it and all seems to be working good. Only thing that is bothering me are GPU temps, that are a bit high (80C) for my norms at full load and without any OC. 3dMark 11 score before OC is P10142, will do another spin with new settings.

I have the same CPU fan on my AMD system as you. It's a shame ASrock didn't make the PCB a different colour.

True,true....PCB color is really ugly, to be honest color scheme altogether isn't that smart. Red an black in basic with all sorts of colors on it...white holder on pcie slot, gold caps, brown pcb....you name it, only pink is missing
Cooler really impressed me because i intentionally sacrificed some performance for good looks, but performance wise it is doing its job great (around 35-40c idle and below 60c under load).

P.S. Planing to do some mild modding and redo cable management, switch to h100i when i recover from this buy and get another 770 down the road.

EDIT: Found and resolved temp problems with my GPU. Had to dump GPU tweak and get Afterburner so i can adjust fan profiles that didn't go past 50% in GPU tweak.
