Looks like a real nice build to me.
From your other thread, looks like you decided on the Hydrolux water cooling for the cpu. There will be some maintenance down the line, but nothing most can't handle. Nice choice. Good luck and stay in touch. |

A question about your overclock. I've been out of the loop on builds since getting my DS rig 5 years ago. Still rocks by the way.
Anyway, it says your overclock is 4-4.4 but your base processor is 4 already. Not much of an overclock there? |

The turbo boost on the CPU stock only does one core to 4.4 GHz. When we OC it, all threads will be 4.4 GHz. Here's an example with stock 4.4 Ghz vs all threads 4.4 Ghz. |
