So... I went from a Coolermaster 212+...

All in all, with a 240 rad, VP655 pump and res, with 10ft of tubing, and compression fittings, and waterblock took me behind a good 350.00 USD plus shipping. Even had enough to drop in the TBG donations, lol, next up, GTX 780 Hydro Copper... (when I can get hold of the damn thing in stock)
 
They're on the outside, so doesn't really matter. I don't really like LEDs for the sake of "bling." I did put the one in my XSPC 5.25" (edit: not radiator) reservoir though :-/ ...
 
Same here. I got red ones with mine but didn't install them. Maybe I just got lazy by then, but it was one more power connection I didn't feel like doing. It looks good, I just don't have the patience for it I guess.
 
It's been doing pretty decent, I have a slight kink in my upper-left hand corner where my fitting has barely any clearance from the mobo ports, bought a 90 dgeree fitting to rememdy that, so I'll open it up later, as for now I have the pump set on full to compensate (figured it would help, maybe I'm wrong, never was great with fluid dynamics, but the little bastard pump gets loud @ full RPM lol), so with mineral water, and a 240mm rad with 2 koolance 120mm fans (controlled by case controller, on lowest setting) after prime95 for 8 hours straight and my i7-3770k @ 4.5 w/ 1.32v, I'm hitting 78C max
EDIT: I'm considering delidding my CPU, so... once I get around the lazyness factor of having to remove thermal paste and reapply it... I'll tell you how it goes, lol

Also, would anyone mind explaining PLL voltage (my mobo has it set to auto so I just left it that way) and why CPU-Z clocks my voltage @ idle on 1.328, but when I push it on prime98, it drops 1.224?

I'd rather watch him from the porch of my home, lol... Might even be a nice guy and call the ambulance for his sorry ass when something happens

He has balls of Steel!!!

Nice looking rig btw; which radiator did you use up top; I had a Black Ice & wasn't enough room for my 4 pin power connector

I bought a cheap lil XSPC 240mm
XSPC EX240 Crossflow Series Copper Dual-Fan Radiator Products Model: XSPC-EX240-CF-BK [XSPC-EX240-CF-BK] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come
Had to grab a 90 degree fiting for the back connector, cause the mobo kinda gets in the way with the rear ports... had to take some cutters and cut off a top portion of my case (not that you can see cause of the plastic bezel, but its where the 140mm fans are mounted to)
 
I've been really impressed with XSPC as of late; take a look at their website. I will not buy anymore shit from Koolance; after terrible leaking fittings, expensive shipping, & shitty customer service....Done!!

My fans are koolance, but from amazon... loud though, but on lowest settings, its pretty decent... can't hear over my turtle beaches anyway...

Only issue I had the my rad was it took me like 40minutes of shaking to clean the damn thing... next time... I'm buying a filter and just adding some water and letting my pump run to clear, heard that was -WAY- easier.
