Can we get some daylight shots? Looks great though (but i really wouldnt recommend those fans). Submit the build to #awesomehardware #pimpmypc on tuesday morning to have Awesome Hardware feature it live on youtube.

Is there anything one can honestly criticise about this build? It's a dream for half of the folks out there.

I don't understand the platinum series for corsair. I mean you spent as much on 16gb that I did on 32gb. It just doesn't make sense for it to be that expensive. 

Also nice build.

Are those fans that bad? I thought they were pretty good and espescially sexy looking

to game or not to game, that`s the question

I mean considering they cost basically the same as Venturi (and other mid-range premium fans) fans which are significantly better in every possible way, yes.

 

But if you don't mind the noise (after all noise is all relative), then at some point looks matter as well and I understand the appeal of those fans aesthetically (even if it isn't my personal taste).

ah okay, because I was looking at buying them for my rig, mainly because I think they looked sexy, didn`t know that they`re not that good.

Probably will go with LTT fans than

to game or not to game, that`s the question
