I gave domy85 a hand with this build, he did all the work, I'm not sure why it's scoring so low, this is a really nice build with good hardware & awesome temps, he did a good amount of work to get it setup the way he wanted, be fair
 
Clean, nice colors and very nice airflow on the memory, the pinnacle of air cooling. 9/10.

I dare you to place your PC at the back of your car standing vertically. lol. man that TRUE cu is heavy from what Ive heard.
 
Thanks guys, loading the pictures was confusing and messed up with the resolution. The heatsink is super heavy. Ill take 2 more interior pictures and load them.

Looks pretty good. How did you upgrade the corsair memory fans with the led ones? I would like to do the same with mine.
 
Fixed my bad 3dmark results, adobe flash player was conflicting. Cpu score updated now @ 23,679. pic posted.
 
9/10. Good cable managment and a clean set up. Main reason for a 9 and not a 10 is the blue LED's just don't mix imo. Could paint the inside of the case but all in all it's a clean lookin build you have. Good job.
 
All that trim definitely needs to be a more flattering color. Blue just doesn't do it justice. A dark red, or even chrome would look a ton better.
 
I voted 10/10 because:

Love the copper
