Before I started, The sound card was being cooked by GPU's, There was a 2mm clearance. The mic would stop working in game after a while because of thermal issues I assume.
Oh dear lol
No leaks so far
I didnt really go for any colour scheme as such, More as quiet as I could get it.
Once Haswell comes I might get a GPU link bridge with a new mobo and some Blue coolant. Also add a drain port at the bottom.
GPU temp's dropped from 40/80 idle/load to 18/34c, CPU from 40/70 to 20/45c.
Overall it's much much quieter with the fans barely going above 900rpm.
