The color scheme on that motherboard looks really sharp. I like it.

Funny story about that.  I actually installed the H110i GT. And guess what?  It actually doesn't completely fit! LOL.  But Before that:
 

Ta Da!  Notice above how the Radiator seems to slant a little.  I'll show you why in a minute.

Case Closed!  Except for one issue:

So, because of that ledge in the way above, I can't completely tie the radiator to the case.  I tried tightening it before, and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't screw down all the way.  Put a bit of force into it and everything.  Once I realized the issue, I loosed the radiator screws you see that are on top of the case at the point you see above and it works just fine.  Anyone think it will be an issue?

If you put the fans between the case top and the rad it would not be an issue.

+1. If you have room, a second set of fans on top would act as a spacer and fix that clearance issue. Other option is to move fans to the top in a pull config.

Ah, that is a great point.  Opening it back up, I definitely don't have enough room for a push/pull config (the top mobo heatsink blocks it).

That I can do.  Will I have any temp issues doing this versus a push config?

No difference in temps, exactly the same.

Well, completed.  Unfortunately, the 140mm side fans I put on put a little on the tubes for the AIO, but it only pushes it a quarter of an inch in, so it looks good.
 
Thanks all, I also updated my mod rigs, plus take a look at this bad boy.....

This is weird how EVGA and CORSAIR launch in same time coolers with similar tubes and it's literally sin if you install Hybrid in combination with something else not H110i GTX, H110i GT, H100i GTX or H80i GT. With H80i GT on top of case usually have place for two Hybrid, one on top and one on back side of case. That probably look max attractive.

I see you wasted no time beating my Firestrike score. That should be a monster for Folding.

Naw, not yet.  Been a LONG time since I have folded.  Want this fully configured the way I want before I start pushing it.

Everything is here for my custom loop except for the hose clamps and reservoir. Hopefully by Friday.

Nice looking fans. It's going to look really nice. I ordered a PSU tester so I can run my loop for 24 hrs or so to check for leaks.

I've never done it before but I have seen it done in YouTube videos when installing a custom loop. Luckily you refreshed my memory before I burned everything out with a leaky setup. Thanks.

Actually, full size 120's should fit, however you have to use rad screws to mount them due to the holes being threaded, 6-32 X 1.25" is the ones I used.

Strange, my cougar 120mm fans wouldn't fit (it was pretty close though).

I just finished my loop but the pics are lousy. Taken with my iPhone. Maybe tomorrow the lighting will be better.

Ok everyone, this should be my last update!  Added thermaltake 120mm thin fans to the front (tried regular ones, they would not fit).  Also added three back plates to my GTX 970s did some cable management, and changed out the Blu-Ray drive with a newer one.
 
The Front!

Side turned off!

Side turned on!

 
Thanks to everyone for the feedback along with advice, this has been an awesome build!  I would also like to thank those that took a look at my MOD rigs as well. :)

That turned out really nice, I'm stunned! Is the color adjustable on that Corsair pump or is it red by default?

I can make it a wide number of colors.  I chose red to go with the theme of the system.
