The watercooling is good, but the mod ?, not that good, its just a Sticker, the Red LED makes everything looks Red, put White LED and set the Brightness to like 20% or so

Few questions, why 1200W for a 980? And why get a 4770K when the 4790K is already a thing or even better, Skylake.

The CPU was from my last build and so was the PSU. Just carry overs and I like a bit of expansion room with my power supply's.

Why did you say the ram was water cooled?

It's got aluminium sleeves and a copper water block connected with thermal paste. Not much of an actually real world heat improvement but it may help living in Australia. It's more astetic then anything.

Yeah I can, but only one was stable at that though. I would have put up 1680mhz that's what there Bois dashed to at the moment. Running a 4k monitor.

Yeah man everyone is saying that. The CPU and RAM was carry over from the last build and I do some HD editing as well. The water-cooled ram is only for ascetics.
