The H100i isn't even meant to be modded. Even the H220, which is designed to have added componentry to the loop, still struggles with just a 680 and a CPU.

It looks good, I'm just not a huge fan of the printer, red lighting and the tilted camera shots. 

Mind if I post one that wasn't taken by me

He was just clarifying, not being nitpicky from the sounds of it. It sounds dangerously close to "7770".

Sounds like it's worth it.

No thanks. Have you seen the reviews?

The 7990 is $1000 here:

and it consistently performs around the same as 7970s in crossfire (under $800), as shown here:

It doesn't make sense to get the 7990, under any circumstance

The horrible value. It costs $200 more, and that's comparing it to the cheapest 7990 I could find. Most go for $1050-1100, so it makes its performance per dollar even worse. Go ahead and play the "lower noise, heat" card, it's not going to save you

Yeah, that completely justifies spending hundreds of dollars more for a minimum frame rate "improvement". You do realize that the minimum framerate was 59.1 in that graph you ever so kindly shared with us, that's basically the highest that most monitors can even display

He's fine with the price, otherwise I wouldn't have recommended them. They also make that noisy fan on the RIVE unnecessary, cutting out the noisiest part of the system.

My point is that he had THAT many of them, so why would he go out to buy the more expensive NF-F12s?

He's probably going to be using the 900D though, so space really isn't much of an issue. Plus the fillport's liquid will have a better angle at which to fall down with the Y splitter.

How is it improved? Links?
 
It also looks much nicer in my opinion, which is one of the main goals of this build.

The bend is the opposite direction of the flow, the manifold would have more of a chance to reduce flow from the looks of it.

Blackwidow Tournament Edition.

I'd recommend the single loop with one powerful pump such as the MCP-655 or MCP-35X

Linus had ever seen before.
 

 

A good mouse, keyboard and a fast monitor are very important. Also, be sure that you have at least 60 frames per second constantly, it'll help you out the most.

Neither cooler is compatible, unfortunately. However, if you're looking for good looks, I'd recommend the water cooling route. Good luck.

As far as case fans go, you can go with just about anything as long as the aesthetics, noise, and price are acceptable. Check out the Bitfenix Spectre Pros or Noctua NF-A12/A14s, the former is cheaper and great looking while the latter is expensive but outperforms practically anything it competes with.

Nice build, and that's one impressive camera

The Bitfenix Prodigy is probably the best choice of all of them. Tons of colors, mesh panel options and even a windowed side panel is available. Lots of radiator support for its size, as well.
