It was all in an H440, but i took it out as the power button doesnt work, so want to send it back and to get fixed.
Also load temps where 55-60 in there with 360mm front as intake and 240mm top and intake (also tried outtake).
Temps are a lot better that its not in the case.

the memory has also increase by nearly 2kGHz

H440 has more than enough space for water cooling
I have a 240mm rad at the top of my case and a 360 at the front. They cooling the CPU only at the moment but im waiting for my GPU waterblock

Nvidia control panel-> Manage 3d settings-> Global settings
Scroll down to "DSR-Factors" and select the ones you want
 
DSR resolutions should now be available in game and in experience

not really.. i can drop the temps by 15-20 by taking the panels off? i would rather go for a bigger and more spacious case. also give me more modding/upgrade room.

AF, its open so Af will work great

I have a 240mm at the top and a 360mm at the front.
My 2 ssd's are mounted o nthe PSU shroud and my HDD is mounted on the bottom of the case
my rads are 30mm each

Let us know the outcome

Im going for the following over the HAF and 900D
will cost me $50 extra, where the HAF is $60 extra
Thermaltake Core X9  E-ATX Cube Chassis http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Chassis/Cube_Case_/Core/C_00002562/Core_X9/Design.htm

for what?
You MB? the supplier has update utilities like MSI has live update
Your GPU? nvidia has experiance

Im From South Africa so we dont have the luxury of getting the variety the US, UK and Canada have also sucks that our products cost nearly twice as much for example my 970 converted into $ is $520 so dont expect the best of everything but i think i have done well with what i could get and afford.
If you want any info or pics that aren't below let me know

nice lan and video.
South Africa may be more expensive to build pc and get parts but they do have a nice lan every year. Even ASUS, MSi, EA and other big names attend
2500 lanners

Lots of GPU's have coil wine,
Some resellers will take them back and swop out for a new GPU.
Second if its just happening in Heavean then dont stress at all even if its every now and then.
If its happening all the time and its still under warrenty, you can try trade it in but at the end of the day it wont affect your gpu at all, just your ears

no it wont, lost of people use MSI after burner and put the power to 110% as it lets your GPU draw more power and wont kill your card
It will also not decrease your cards life and shouldnt affect temps much
 
Voltage will increase heat and decrease life span of the card and possibly kill it

What you do really doesn't make much of a difference... 
 
I've ran three different configurations and had no noticeable temp differences: 
360mm intake up front, 240mm exhaust up top (with a rad), 140mm exhaust out the back. 
360mm intake up front, 240mm exhaust up top (with a rad), 140mm intake from the back. 
360mm intake up front, 240mm intake up top (with a rad), 140mm exhaust out the back. 
 
Ultimately, I settled on the 360mm front and 240mm top intakes with a 140mm exhaust out the back as I find it quieter to be pulling air rather than pushing air into my face (the top vents face me). 

Anything other than distilled water + silver coil either stains parts or kunks up faster than normal.
I would suggest going for colored tubing over colored liquid but you will be fine either way. 
 
I could look over the list.
 
Brands shouldnt matter as long as you get the right parts, eg cpu block with G1/4 threads that the pip connection has a G1/4 outter thread with what ever inner thread your pipes uses (my pip i used the following XSPC G1/4" to 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD Fitting

the heat pips help with heat.. ram produces a lot of heat when under load and why not go for something that will make them run cooler and last longer?
