Thank you!! Actually just got system running didn't get a chance to get into overclocking yet. As for doing a RMA for OC Panel, I don't have to the shop I bought the Motherboard from "MemoryExpress" is going to cover it under there store warrenty and is giving me a new one tomorrow (They actually just called me back today) Been busy since I finished build. My wife and I just had a baby girl on Jan 23rd.
 
Sweet build! You should host the pics using the inforum tool though, that way they don't eventually become dead links.
 
noobish question here but never used water cooling before.

what is those two taps on pic. 2 ?? ;P

haha no worries. I have been watercooling for around a decade now. Those are both drain valves, one for each coolant system. Extremely helpful when draining system, especially with a hard tube setup.
 
ahh cool would it be okay if i save ur nickname and maybe ask some questions when i start out using water cooling have a setup in mind for the case im about to make;P

slackovic if you want to start watercooling spend about 2 weeks reading the sticky threads in our water cooling section. There is years of knowledge in there and is very helpful.

Yeah there is some good stuff in there! Thankfully watercooling has come a long way since i started over a decade ago lol! Also these builds are expensive and time consuming. However worth the time and effort. I honestly started out doing it to just plain reduce noise! When the old aftermarket CPU coolers were like 60 decibles lol
