fappin huh?

Thank you morgan.  I love your voice in those penguin documentaries

So slow down the exhaust fans, or disconnect one if they won't go low enough.

Sure, just keep an eye on your temps. The rad in the front is cooling your cpu, (and yes it will warm up your case slightly) Running your extraction fans quicker or slower isn't going to change this much.
 
As long as your gpu temperatures don't spike with the reduced airflow then you're fine, but honestly 900 series cards and after are ridiculously efficient.

Liquid cooling

Liquid cooling

With a quality power supply you can never have "too much" power but you can have "not enough"

I'd go with a 650 watt, to give plenty of room to grow. Keep in mind, this is one of the few components you can really future-proof. Also, make sure to buy from a reputable supplier (Corsair, CoolerMaster, ect.)

Ha! I found it actually! thx for the help

ASRock Z170(M) OC Formula

Gigabyte ud  series has a black  yellow theme ( look at z170 ud3)
Asrock  and biostar  have some good boards with that scheme

ASRock Formula. That board is damn good and well yellow

I will also suggest the ASRock OC Formula... basically one of the best LGA1151 motherboards you can buy.

Looks like a drain port. No it is not the pump, that's a combo unit. If you look closely you'll see the splitter fitting. This allows the owner to empty the liquid easily. if you see the silver valve below the reservoir at the bottom of the case, that's the end of the tube you're talking about, and is where the liquid can flow out when the loop has to be drained.

It's for the drain point sticking out there beneath the pump/res

99% GPU usage just means the card is working as hard as it can because you're running Heaven. Anytime you're running a game or GPU benchmark like Heaven, you want to see your GPU usage right up there in the 95-100% range. If its less, that indicates something else is limiting performance before your GPU is. Overclocking just means your card will be faster at the same usage %.
 
70*C isn't bad for a video card under max load. Plus, you may find that your temperatures don't really increase that much when you overclock. Some cards may heat up more than others depending on the type/design of cooler they use, but MSI Afterburner doesn't really give you the freedom to go totally crazy with the core voltage. In my experience, I rarely see more than a few degrees increase with the cards I've used.
 
GPU Boost is a technology that varies the card's clock speed based on a couple of factors. Basically it will run as fast as it can within some boundaries, until it hits a temperature limit (typically 80*C), it's maximum rated wattage, or a voltage limit. Yours is running Heaven at 1330 MHz because it's hitting some limit at 1330. The first and simplest thing to try is to max out the Power Limit slider in Afterburner. It just lets the card draw about 112% of its normal wattage, so you may see your clock speed creep up a bit higher just by letting GPU Boost do its job.

Any GPU can be overclocked. What you're seeing is GPU boost making your card run faster than stock if thermals and power draw allows for it. If you want to overclock, start by adding small amounts of core clock, maybe 20MHz at step and then see if there are any artifacts in testing programs. If there aren't, keep adding and testing until there're artifacts and step back down a step. Then test for like 20 minutes to make sure it's absolutely stable.

Oh thank you so much

Check out the MODDING FAQ 1. Wiring is a big part of it and it's fairly decent discribed
Cablemod and others are sure a good source of nice cables, too.

You either buy them sleeved from someone like Cablemod or you do it yourself kinda like this:
