^ nice, neat and tidy. Much better than my first effort. If your trying to hide the cables for the HHD you could mount it in the Optical drive bay.

Looks really nice and neat, good job!

Personal preference I would place one of the front intakes on the bottom of the case.
(From doing that you could then mount the HDD the other way around)

H100 changed for H100i. It runs around 5.c cooler with a custom fan profile using the mainboard bios to control the fans. It's a much better looking cooler than the H100.

This is not meant to sound bad in any way whatsoever but you must have some amount of bits kicking about with all this changing. However, is the 100i heavier due to thicker hoses and no doubt holds more water due to that?

Really? I played MP3 with two 560TIs and it ran amazing on Ultra. Amazing build though, guess it's just PC games being strange as usual.

I can't play MP3 because I don't like watching 10 minute cut scenes in the middle of 3 minutes combat areas.

but was that at 5760 x 1080 res?.

I know what you mean about the cut scenes, i hate them a lot!.

I'm pretty sure the hoses are thicker but the internal diameter is the same as h100. Not sure on coolant flow but I have now put my 4 arctic cooling fans onto the h100i and it has made a huge difference pretty much 10.c compared to stock h100i fans.

I have a few bits around most of it gets used in builds or sold on.

That sounds quite weak then. I thought it would have been thicker tubes therefor more water flow and in the end it's just a thicker wall with the same diameter as previous.

thicker tubes dont always mean more/better flow

thicker tubes dont always mean more/better flow

and better flow dont always mean better temps

 

[V F]

Then why do I never see custom watercooling with skinny hoses? if the water doesn't run faster due to a bigger diameter, how is that not better?

If coolant flowed to fast perhaps it would spend less time in a res and radiator where it cools from the heat. I'm no scientist just thinking out loud.

But it would also spend less time in the waterblocks, where it heats up. It all balances out in the end.

My first time building a PC from scratch and I'm rather chuffed with how well it went

 

[doyll]

Nice job.

It's possible but not probable. More probable is heatsink isn't transmitting heat to coolant and/or radiator isn't removing that heat fast enough to keep CPU/GPU cool. Speed of coolant usually has no effect on how efficient heatsink radiates heat in or radiator radiates heat out system. Coolant is only the carrier.

very true

@The Matrix
Very nice clean build!

Those phantex coolers look the BIZ!
