Don't like that Water-cooled rig, to be honest looks like old water cooling and the rad is external..

Dude get a decent case for water-cooling!!

Also, why water-cool it if you don't even have a graphics card. This is stupid, 4.2 OC with this and I reach 4.6 with my Hyper 212+ stable.

i coulda fit the radiator inside (granted it woulda been a tight squeeze) if i wanted but i chose outside of the case cause its cooler and air flow is better. i did the watercooling because my old pc wasnt cutting the job when i was rendering videos. the temps got ridiculously dangerous on load and i didnt wanna run into that problem ever again.

the 4.2ghz i was ocing was when i was first learning the oc, im now at 4.4ghz but ive gone as high as 5.0ghz @ 1.36vcore stable. at 4.4ghz, my idle temp is 27c and on load doesnt get higher than 42c on load. this is with a ambient room temp of 26-27c. when i did the 5.0ghz, idle temps was around 37c and on load didnt go past 62c, same room temp... the water cooling definately does it job and then some. bet you cant get close to these low temps with your hyper 212.

i do hours of constant typing daily running/maintaining my sites and server and that took a serious toll on my wrists. after 5-10 minutes, my wrists feel like theyre on fire so i dont do pc gaming at all. i just didnt see the need to spend another 200 when i wasnt gonna be fully utilizing it.

how long did that take to build
and how much ram does it have?
looks good, but not very organised
should get a better case to fit it all in
i would say 7-8/10

after i got all the parts in, the actual build was maybe 30 minutes? a hour at most? definately not more than that. if you wanna add the time that it took to fill the water cooling system, like 3 hours cause i was using a little baby syringe to fill it up lol. and 16gb ram at the moment... yeah its pretty messy in there i cant lie. only if the psu i got was modular, woulda made it a lot cleaner.
