You know I did the liquid cooling more for the experience and learning process and I'm glad I did. My system is dead silent now and I don't have to listen to the loud GPU fans anymore not to mention with a good custom loop the overclocking potential is phenomenal (You can see in my sig I got it up to 5.02Ghz on a 3770k). Looking back I wish I went with a bigger case because my system looks pretty crammed in my current case.

here are some pics:

you arn't cramped at all lol strong triple monitors for the virginityness :troll:

I guess it looks okay but it still would of been nice to have a case with more room. BTW I like your sig. I have a 1984 300zx turbo myself

digital gages eww im looking at a 74 260z now lol need $1500 more, 80s 300zx look like freaking rockets but there ok decent engines if its a factory turbod one

nice.

Intel 520 120 GB SSD
2x 1 TB Seagate Barracuda's
LG Blu-Ray Burner Lightscribe Drive
EVGA GTX 670 Sig2 FTW (1300 MHz on the core)

Rosewill 750W PSU
2x Cold Cathode Red lights
Custom Minecraft Mousepad

I'm thinking about upgrading a fair amount of components though, such as the Hyper 212 to a Swiftech H220, try and get this chip to 5 GHz, might have to delid it though. After that I kind of want to put my 670 under water, and get another 670 as well to put under water.

It's a fairly nice machine though.

That's a really nice setup, I imagine the temps are pretty good too.

I think you may need more rad surface area though, 360MM for 2x 680's and an OCed 3770k sounds like it might just barely be cutting it.

Mind you I have an old i7 920 and a GTX 260 under water with a 120MM rad and the CPU temps regularly hit 80C on the CPU lol, and the GPU is staying nice and cool at like 45-50C. Kind of reminds me I need to figure that out, and either swap out the rad for a bigger one, or add another rad in.
