    The big difference between the 5820k and 5930k is the PCIe lanes available.  5820k has 28, 5930k has 40 IIRC. So, this means that you can have high-speed storage with 4-way SLI on the 5930k and not run out of PCIe lanes

    Very nice setup, clean, simple build, but why the locked CPU? You could've spent a few extra dollars on the unlocked one for some extra performance!
     
    Still, very clean build that should last a long time.  It'd look nice with some white Bitfenix cable extensions maybe? And some subtle white LEDs to give a soft glow and highlight that gorgeous Titan Black.
     
    EDIT: 7/10 for a solid build with a couple missed opportunities. I still like it though.

    OverachievingSnowfall got a reaction from MrTichoify in what is the best CPU single fan water cooler for £70 or less   
    If you're looking for a 120mm AIO, then the h80i is probably you best-performing kit out there, because it has a thick rad and comes with 2 fans for push-pull. 
     
    I'm not sure of where you are, but based on your price, I found this:
    http://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-h80i-hydro-series-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler-with-120mm-radiator-and-quiet-fan-s115x-2011
     
    If that's out of your budget, you could try he h75.  It's basically the same setup, but with a slim rad and no corsair link:

    Installed some washers. Water block is now rock solid on the CPU.
    Max. temperature with no overclock using Prime95 (small FFT) is now 67 degrees C.
     
    It's also quite warm here today, around 24 degrees C in my office, so I think that's pretty acceptable.
    Think that Corsair might need to add a few washers to their installation kit........

    OverachievingSnowfall got a reaction from Deletive in Swiftech H220X   
    Quote from the swiftech site:
    "The factory fittings can now be upgraded to any G1/4 compatible after-market fittings (an optional adapter is needed for the pump outlet and will be available shortly), which will allow enthusiast users to upgrade their system to 1/2" ID tubing if they wish to."
     
    So I would imagine that you would be able to use any hardline fittings as well.
     
    Yay for options!

    I just got my G2 1000W, and I really like it.  It's got a nice quiet fan on it.  If you're curious about how PSUs really perform, check out jonnyguru.com, he has lots of reviews, and he knows what he's talking about.  He just did one on the G2 750W, and I believe he took a look at the RM650 too.

    So another buildlog comes to an end, this is my third log featured on LinusTech and hopefully it won't stop there.
    Began filling the loop yesterday when i noticed a small leak in the Reservoir, the same leak that occurred within my Mercury build, this time it was my fault as i had forgot to place the O-Ring around the fitting
     
    Out of all my builds I've created over the past few years this would have to be my best, aesthetically, you may not agree, but that's fine.
     
    Anyway here's the photo's, stay in touch as a new build is always around the corner
