I moved the reservoir up and over a littler bit and topped it off with liquid as well

Water cooling a bit overkill for a 770 but it looks so good

I love the crap out of this case even though my first one came busted up in the front. Second one came perfect :) .Love how you did your build, the blue coolant looks sweet

I do plan on buying a second gpu and throwing some watercooling blocks on those as well as the ram and mobo. i know it would be a bit overkill, but i like my aesthetics to look nice  :P

How did you get those fans to be quiet. Mine are loud :(

I have them plugged into the fan control hub that came with my case and then plugged that into my mobo and used the fan control on my mobo software to set them to the lowest RPM possible. i only noticed a 1 degree (Celsius) increase on my cpu as well
