Those colors match perfectly 

Great build

I'm not the biggest fan of watercooling, but that looks crazy nice!

[FromWhitin]

that's one sexy looking system, awesome job man!

[adi518]

Very, VERY nice.

[CommonCurt]

Beautiful build. I love the colors you chose. 

 

So all of your fans are exhaust ?

[Akula]

Thanks everyone for the comments, makes my day

As for the fans, there is one intake fan and the remainder are exhaust, dust is no longer an issue within my computer room & the cooling difference is minimal for me, personally the aesthetics is more important for me.

[ivhyn]

mhmmmm... Akula builds are always nice!

Light blue and black is a very interesting color choice you got there.

Not much to see in the dark, i hate lights

So I've been doing some thinking the past few days regarding the future of this build, mainly the 2600k in mind.

I feel it's time to swap for my trusty 4770k, let me 2600k return to it's packaging for future use

 

Going to need to do a full Motherboard/CPU swap - Will will be a huge pain in the ass, really it's the only thing stopping me.

Watercooled memory. You sir, get a

I think you'll be fine with the 2600k. Plus where are you going to find a motherboard as awesome as that Gigabyte Z68 one?

Overclocking

Been pushing my Titan to it's absolute limits the past few weeks, getting close to it's limits.

This is my main reasoning for the push towards my 4770k - Currently it's being used within my HTPC build although I'm highly tempted to make the switch.

 

I've flashed the GTX Titan with "Skynet v2 1006 vBIOS" and pushed this card using MSI AB & Zar voltage modifications.

Ranked 7th Single GPU on OCN & #1 On LTT - I believe with the 4770k switch i can push even higher up the ladder.

Good. Lord.

Holy crap, that it freakin Epic. 5.2 GHz is an amazing overclock.

[Kiukaz]

Holly shit... 5.2Ghz.... amazing.

Holly shit... 5.2Ghz.... amazing.

 

I've benched at 5.4-5.5Ghz during the winter, this chip loves to clock high.

[Razbit]

Nice clocks, man!

I had a 2500k before my current 3770k. I got it to 5gHz without braking a sweat (on air, hr02 macho), oh those good old Sandys..

Your clocks on the titan are nice too! Gotta say, you have some guts (or sponsors ) Personally, im scared sh1tless of clocking my titan any higher than it goes on 1.2 volts..

Holy crap that chip is amazing

[Homicidium]

5.2GHz? 

 

[simson0606]

love the contrast in the build!

[-ism]

Your rig is a thing of beauty... And those clock speeds... Dang

[GunnAthax]

Just pure awesomeness with everything, just one exception no intake fans

[Kick]

Corsair SP120's

Installed the SP120's earlier, wouldn't say they are the best performing fans i've ever used, but the blue ring helps to accent the build, so i'll manage

I'll have to re-wire and sleeve the cables, something i intend to do later in the week.

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome work on the whole build, man! I love the clean look, and how beautifully you connected all the tubing (it just looks right). I was wondering why you opted for an SP120 as a rear exhaust as opposed to an AF140, they can both have the blue accent and the AF140 is optimized for that kind of placement. Just a thought. Hope that machine treats you as well as you treated it
