    Real hair is the way to go
     
    Also a little handy tip, but if you find yourself going through a ton of canned air then maybe look at investing in an air compressor, I have a big one in my shed for painting with, but also brought a tiny compressor for about $50 just to blow dust off of computers with and in the long run will save you a ton

    If they drop the over the top rediculousness and put in some proper rad support, that would be nice

    I think building the Frame for Water cooling Support then adding in "Optional Extra's" Would be nice Sort of like Caselabs but less modular

    I do a fair amount of sleeving and custom cables for client builds so I'll answer what I can
     
    Usually I order about 150 feet worth of sleeving when I do a PSU, that leaves about 20-30 or so feet of extra which I then use to make extensions and sell off.
     
    As for material, paracord is awesome, cheap, looks nice and is really very easy to work with. the only real issue is that any brand of white paracord you get will leak colour, but seeing as you aren't using white this wont be an issue for you (EDIT- it also looks nowhere near as good as MDPC or Teleios) I have done alot of work with MDPC sleeving and it looks nothing short of outstanding, but recently I've made the switch over to Teleios sleeving which is also available at Lutro0's store and it is a step up from MDPC, not by much, but it still does look better.
     
    As for method, go with whatever you think looks best, I personally love the heatshrinkless look and do suggest that to my clients as much as I can, Keep in mind though that on Lutro0's site he actually sells heatshrink thats designed to be used for heatshrinkless sleeving and wont stick to the sleeve as much as the regular stuff, so order some of that if you can, then a few peices of regular heatshrink to do your sata power with as the regular stuff looks better when you leave it on
     
    A fully modular PSU is also the best way to go by far, dealing with a non modular PSU is a pain to say the least.
     
    Apart from that everything you have posted looks fine and you seem to have a decent grasp of it all. Just remember that it's going to take a great deal of patience the first time doing a sleeving job and don't expect to be able to pull it off first shot and have it perfect, it's much easier to make heatshrinkless look nice, but it still takes a little while to get your head around it, so be prepared to have to redo cables here and there. Also be prepared to cut yourself when depinning, My hands were shreaded when I did my first PSU and every other sleever I know has done the same.
     
    If you have any other questions feel free to drop me a personal message more than happy to help!

    It's fairly normal to have varying temps under idle and load, but not by that much at idle.
     
    Most of the time having one core that runs hot indicates a bad mount on the cooler, Try taking it off, redoing your thermal paste and remounting it

    cerulean got a reaction from KamiKatze in How much rad you really need.   
    When I do my client builds I always go 3x120mm for a CPU only loop + 120mm for each GPU, That way you can have silent fans (1200/1300rpm premium brands) and still have great performance
