Its not anything special being my first build. The only mods I have done are Black VRM's and Black South Bridges.

 

I got my CPU to 4.5Ghz but I leave it at 4 because my VRM's start getting way to hot. (Around 1.5V)

 

Sorry the pictures aren't very good.

White case, NZXT HUE+ set to that random multicolour mode... GG

those fans on top of our VRMs, you probably don't need them. Those MOSFETS are designed to get up to almost 200C

The fans were taken off in the final build. They were on there because when at 1.5V the thermal pads under the VRM would start sweating and lit looked terrible

Nah. Black or grey case, trying to stick to all one brand for the RGB. (So probably Corsair and NZXT for RGB Keyboards and stuff)
