changes:

Overclocked the processor's turbo to 4.3ghz found that this is the good balance point for power consumption heat and performance and i dont need any more than this

overclocked the graphics cards to 1400mhz from a base clock of 1187mhz 

added liquid cooling in the form of a corsair h80i 

 

airconditioning is still out.... starting to get annoyed by this but nighttime temps with window open are around 90F idle for the cpu and 110F for the gpu's

temps when gaming: used 3d mark to stress the computer and cpu max was 150F and gpu temps topped out at 168F

 

so in comparison to the 179F cpu temp i was getting before much better and system is quieter.

below is a link to the original build log page and a picture of before and after the liquid cooler
