I am trying to look at people's z68 builds so I know what heatsinks will fit that board. So what kind of setups do we have out there?.

Thanks. It was unintentional color clash, but It turned great. The little fan below is just a random floating fan pushing air to my bottom gpu since that sound card blocks 70% of the gpu fan x_X I was semi considering taking off the 220mm fan? and hook up x6 120mm fans? But thats pricey lols. I still need 1 fan for the top of my case that it didn't come with, unless I decide to go H100 instead? hmm hmm decisions lols. I haven't really shown off my rig just yet. I wana do a few more things before I make its debut lols.

Haha I totally understand about that, my cable management was horrendous so I never updated my pics of my Elysium case :p
Instead of 6 fans you could use around 2 on the side, I'm sure that would push enough air to your bottom card. After using a H70 I'm stearing clear of coolers like that, I had no issues with it except the fact it could not mount on my friends 790i Ultra board, so I was nice and traded my Prolimatech Megahalem for the H70. Just seems so clunky to me compared to a simple heatsink.
I will either find a way, or make one. ٩(๏̯͡๏)۶

Well right now it helps bringing my temps down to normal, which is good enough for me and the 220mm fan is pushing air throughout the case. I don't necessarily need good air flow per say? Just cause the top and side are open big mesh areas where heat just comes out of it anyways. Just need to shove air in the crevice.

Just realizing you have a In Win case (thought you had a HAF932 just by looking at the pics) I see why you don't really need airflow so much. There's vents every which way from I can tell that the hot air has to escape.

Haha yea. Love the case, just the noise level is abit high, though cable management is really hard on this case. I'll try to clean up once I think its ready to be shown :P

The cable management reminds me of my Antec 1200, impossible.  As you may clearly see in the 1200 lol

I know how you feel, I ran a Antec 900 for the last 3 years and no matter what I did I couldn't tie the cables down. Switch to the 600t and it's like night and day, the airflow and temps are much better. Back to the main point I will post my z68 tonight with my single 570.

The cooler in my pics is the hyper 212 evo as well. I have 2 CM sickleflow 120mm x25mm fans on it for a push pull set up. with both fans it fits fine but doesnt leave much room for tall heatshield ram. I use 4 sticks of G.skill ripjaws X and it clears those. It also does a great job of cooling my I5. I have it 24/7 stable oc'd to 4.9Ghz (102.33 x 48) temps are 30C to 35C idle and 55c to 60c @ 100% load while folding. best 30 bucks I ever spent on a heatsink.

I originally had a Thermaltake Frio, but was unable to use it on this board because of the caps on the back (I guess they are voltage regulators.) The backplate would not sit flat because because it was resting on these. So when choosing a MB and HS/f be sure to check that out. If you compare the backplate on the Frio Vs the H80, you'll see what I'm talking about.
