As in title this is my first proper build (about 3 weeks ago, been meaning to post this for a while!), so open to criticism! Spec is in sig. I have been thinking about trying watercooling too, what are peoples thoughts as i have never had any dealings with watercooling before? Jus wanted to try it to see if i could cool the gfx/cpu/nb better and have a quieter system! Anyway pic below.



Thanks for looking!

Looks good, but is the 4870 in the highest speed PCI-E slot?

Yeah it is, this dfi board the top and bottom slots are full speed (might be a bit annoying when coming to crossfire), its wrong in the manual!

I put the gfx card in the bottom slot as the pci wireless card seemed to be having problems in the bottom slot and yet works perfectly in the slot its in at the mo! Stumped me!
 
Dont shoot me if im wrong, but I thought I read that the ram slots for dual channel are next to each other, not yellow and yellow as you have it?
 
Dont think so mate as on the dfi forums they actually ask what colour slots your ram are in! i.e. green or yellow.

Nope, colour has to be matched to be dual channel so yellow - yellow is correct so is green - green depends which you choose to use.
 
Temps are all good, i think. Was thinking about a fan above the hdds to draw air through them. Whats wrong with the airflow?
