[Update 7/19/2015] And it is completed! So after many months of waiting on parts, PSU sleeves and some free time, I have managed to install my custom loop. It was a pain in the ass, but I had help from my buddy and a fellow forum member here on Evga. It turned out nicely, albeit quite cramped! I need to order a couple cold cathode tubes for lighting and I am done!
As for temps.. things are looking much cooler! Room temp was 24c. (1.193v)
- 4790K @ 4.7GHz (1.30v) w/
H105 on OCCT Linpack (No AVX) I was hitting a max of
84c- 4790K @ 4.7GHz (1.30v) w/
Custom Loop on OCCT Linpack (No AVX) I am hitting a max of
71c - TitanX @ 1412MHz (1.174v) w/ Stock in GTAV Online maxed out at
75c @80% Fan
- TitanX @ 1465MHz (1.193v) w/ EK Full Block in GTAV Online maxed out at
38c!!! (No annoying fan)

[Update 6/15/2015] I Officially suck at build logs! I was meaning to update this a lot more, but ended up spending a couple weeks off from work while I helped my brother and his wife move to Fayetteville, AR. It was a lot of fun and stress. Unloading and unpacking boxes from a 26 foot uHaul is not fun in the heat. We went to the gun range a couple days later, which was a lot of fun. I now want a .45 Colt revolver, lol.
I also picked up a new car!! This will be the 4th Honda Civic Si I've owned. I love these cars.
Back to the build.. I finally received everything I needed to get the computer built, but unfortunately, the cables from Sanctum Sleeving were a bit too long. I contacted them and they are making some new cables based on updated lengths and shipping them out free of charge. That's good customer service.
Here's a couple shots of what all I have sitting around:
As soon as I get the shorted sleeves in the mail, this build is being finished in a day. I'll try to take a few pictures along the way! It should look pretty nice, but very dark. I need to get some lighting in there somehow.
[It's time for a revision to my current PC and I'm going to completely overhaul the computer.] I've always done air cooled and/or AIO coolers and I'm just never satisfied. It's time for my first completely custom liquid cooled build. I will be updating the thread regularly as parts get ordered and arrive. Money is slightly tight since I just got a new car, but I expect all parts to be ordered by 2 weeks from today.
