I would love to go eyefinity or 2560x1600, but both too expensive.


And about that case. They call that a Little Devil? I'd hate to see the big one.

I opted for no filters as to not restrict airflow, as for cleaning a quick blast of canned air once a week is enough to keep things clean, i might consider adding some of these filters as they are pretty much non restrictive.

Nice shirt! and peel off the plastic from your new lappy's (congrats btw) screen already!!! I have a friend who bought a smart phone and he never removed the plastic for like 3 months and he would never do it when I told him too. So I did it for him one evening when we were having a few beers - while he was in the toilet!

Finally got my Corsair H100 yesterday! Stayed up until 3am installing everything



Here's a close up of the cooler, I'm using a push'n pull setup, just added the fans from my old H70 to the 240mm radiator:



Here's a quick test for temps before installation, with my old H70, the CPU is running at 4.5Ghz @ 1.29V




Now, here's a run with the H100 immediately after installation, dunno if Corsair ir still using Shin Etsu for the pre-applied TIM, but I decided not to change it for now, I believe it may need some more setting time, but, anyways, here're the results:



I'll wait a few days and see if the TIM performance improves over time, if not I can either replace it with Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra Metal, or Arctic MX-4, what do you guys recommend?

I love your setup, amazing! Care to show off the rest? Monitor setup, gaming room maybe?

MX4 is great but a bit hard to spread. I'd suggest Gelid's extreme stuff great performance and really easy to spread.

Thanks for your reply I have never tried Gelid's TIM, I used MX-4 for my H70, and as you can see the temp delta between my previous cooler and the H100 with the pre-applied TIM isn't that big, dunno if Corsair still uses Shin Etsu, but I may order some of the Gelid goo to give it a try, thanks for the advice mate

I had uploaded pics from my office before, it's not much of a gaming room setup, but it's more relaxing for gaming and browsing the net, here's my office:





I apologize for the cable mess , gotta work on that , Here's a pic from my gaming room setup I had uploaded previously, that's where I keep my HTPC:



Hope you like it

Seriously nice work man, probably top 10 setups I've seen here.
