Quite good. Really liked the volt mod. Nice choice of wc components. Although I did see some spanking 800 on other blocks (I think he used a DD Maze on the GPU).

Needs more case mod. Add another rad maybe and include the nb on the loop (I think the MCP655 can suffice.. not sure though)

771/1890/950 is with the mod off....i havent turn it on yet...
adind a second rad is useless...the 3ple one is more than ok.
i had the NB in the loop before but it was restricting my flow a lot and i didnt gain too much as for temps..

Ahh yeah.. cuz of the nb barb.

771 with the mod off.. very nice. Good thing temp is not restricting you though. Watch out for the mosfets.. They say they reach at 100 Cs with a 750+ on the core. Nice 3dmark score! Keep up the good work! Hope ta see your E8500 in action soon ^^

Grab some 90 degree angle barbs for the radiator and get rid of those half loops at the back.

Aside from that it really does look pretty good.

I've owned both versions of the gigabyte aurora and I can safely say its one of the best cases ever made. Though the sock fans really do suck...
