Hopefully I can cool all this in one loop and still get good flow. The most expensive MB ever gets even more expensive for me.

I didn't even get past 48 hours ownership & soak testing when the supplied Asus 1/2" to 3/8th "reducers failed, you know the rest, so all be warned. I got nowhere after 7 months negotiation with Asus (for manufacturer replacement mobo or even my own cost repair) & the retailer so I'm a Asus-free-zone from now on. China-based shambolic customer care for UK and Europe anyway. Only Manu's with Lifetime & Part-ex /trade in warranties products get my money, like EVGA & BFG.

Trigger5521, I noticed you to have thw Gateway 30" Quad HD Monitor, what do you think? I love mine but I get green fluorescent artefacts (almost like a negative picture) on my desktop and in games occasionally. I don't get any problems on my picture in picture image though at the same time. I spoke to Gateway and they said it had something to do with the refresh rate, have you noticed such a problem with your setup? Cheers, any help appreciated.
