Do I have to criticize? It looks great. What's in there at the mo? What are the temps like? Really nice clean look in there!

edited, specs included...

 

[Diablo]

Very nice...did you use the boiling water trick to get the hosing over the barbs?

 

[iceie]

The case looks really nice and cable management is really good

Yeah man the good ol' Boiling water trick.

Those hoses aint going anywhere fast. trust me, to get the tubing off, i have to ingeniously deconstruct my loop and get all the hoses with barbs still attached off. Fortunately, with the 90degree barbs this is possible. A few twists of the pump in a weird direction, and job done. Simples.. Ill make a video of it one day, its great... XD

Thanks for the comments guys. Im hoping to do my window today, but we'll see, might just go to bed...

Nice...nothing short of an angle grinder attack will worry that build. Look forward to seeing more pics, so keep us updated.

Nice job.

Just out of interest do those chipset fans provided with the motherboard actually make any difference?

 

[Diablo]

The little asus ones make a big difference, on my old striker II extreme, the heatsinks were all linked with heatpipes, and if I put the little fans off, the temperature of the northbridge would decrease 5-10C per fan.

nice rig mate i have those fans XD
