    You can play on 4K with max details with such powerful hardware.
    I see you choose EKWB Vardar fans. F3 or F4?... What you think about them, because they are one of nicest option now for radiators.
    I think EKWB will make nice job with them.
    Now it's time to Install EVGA Sleeve Kit in White Color. 
     
    If you like to build more you can change something for 3-4 months, example color or tubes, configuration of water loop, maybe colored liquid, different fittings, etc...

    @notfordman
    Thanks! I tried really hard to get it right the first time. Hours and hours spent doing research.
     
    @Vlada011
    F4 2200rpm models. I like them a lot because they are quiet around 700-1000 RPM and I don't expect silence from anything higher. I wish I could compare them to GT's but I could not find any for a good price. My GPU temps are around 41-42 degrees with everything overclocked to the max on Valley @ 1000 RPM and 35-36 degrees @ 2200 RPM. The room temp where I am at is around 28 degrees Celsius right now.
     
    Yea I think the EVGA sleeve kit in white would look awesome.

    When you start to hear noise on F4 fans, on 1700-1800RPM?
    For me is F3 interesting. But F4 is better if someone have controller than for stress testing could increase fan speed. 
    Nice fans. For your build White or Black Sleeve Cables will be awesome.

    Personally I think they sound good up until 1400RPM in push pull and start to get louder from there on. I almost can't hear them up until 1200RPM. This is me sitting right next to them.  I would say the dual D5 pump wine at setting 5 is more noticeable most of the time.
     
    Also I have it set up so it's 3-way PWM splitter per fan header and with the Asus Fan Expert 3 I can adjust all of the fan speed from my windows. Because the Vardar has such a low current draw, the Asus Deluxe can handle 19 fans on just the motherboard and fan extension card no problem. (Actually the fan speeds do get a bit more unstable but hardly noticable)

    I can't find on you tube good sound test of EKWB Vardar F3 fans...
    Did you see difference between materials from TITAN Black and TITAN X cooler?
    I will never forgive myself because I didn't bought TITAN Black, that's probably biggest mistake in my gaming life.
    Do you know why I ask you...
    Because people talk about difference between reference cooler on different cards and they look same, TITAN Black, GTX980Ti, GTX780Ti, GTX780... 
    Maybe even about material difference, I'm not sure...
