Pros: Upgraded from a GTX780 to 2x GTX980s for 4K gaming. They handle everything flawlessly. Both cards are utilizing reference coolers @ (T/B) 72c, 70c max temps. I did modify the fan profile to keep the cards at a decent temp, roughly 35%/35c and a smooth curve to 100%/70c. Each card has proven to be good overclockers, set at a constant 1500/8000 overclock with no forced overvoltage. I went with the reference style card as they're better for SLI in my experiences, venting hot air outside the case.

Cons: Paid a premium for the reference design. XSPC only makes waterblocks for the reference PCB and I prefer the blower-style coolers to SLI air cool while I wait for parts to arrive. The cards do get loud, but that's expected.

Overall Review: Case is a Corsair 750D with 6x Phanteks PH-F140MP, 2x PH-F120MP, and 2x more PH-F140MPs on the CPU tower. This is to give you an idea of relative temps to case airflow.

Pros: They're a nice white color. Sleeved.

Cons: The cable is twisted a certain way, so mounting them in a completely linear fashion can be difficult sometimes. The LEDs are touchy, and touching one LED the wrong way will cause all of them to turn off or dim. This tells me someone slacked during the soldering/assembly. The "brightness adjustment" isn't good. 1 is off, 2 is extremely dim, and 3 is normal brightness.

Overall Review: I should've gotten the 2m length. My only real gripe is the production quality.

Pros: Great looking case with great opportunities for custom loops. Glass panels are nice. Aluminum panels snap into place and are easily removed.

Cons: Dust filters seem oddly janky. They work fine, though. Mine doesn't have rear 80mm mounts. I was dumb and didn't realize the CPU cooler clearance for this case is "less than 150mm tall." My UH14S is my current cooler until I do another loop (upgraded GPU and no waterblocks existed). Moving to all EK equipment from XSPC. Would have been nice if the front fan panel could be sealed to use the internal vent exclusively.

Overall Review: I'm not sure if I got an old revision or something, but my rear panels do not have mounts for 80mm fans. I'm a little disappointed in this finding and feel a little let down that the case wasn't everything I was planning for. Does it really matter? Not really, but I didn't look forward to modding yet another case.

Pros: I'm a huge fan of Corsair/Channel Well power supplies. This HX1000i stays VERY quiet through all types of load. I chose this over the AX1200i due to it being a little bit shorter (future plans) , 1000w being plenty for me, and being significantly cheaper than the AX1200i... and why would I pay a bunch more for a PSU that's about to be replaced by Corsair for a higher efficiency/newer AXi PSU?

Cons: The connectors are slightly difficult to push into sockets, but if you gently wiggle them while inserting them, you can avoid having to violently shove it.

Overall Review: HX1000i is powering: Asus X99-Deluxe Intel I7-5930K - 4.5ghz/1.2v 2x GTX980 - 1.5ghz/8ghz/1.16v 11x Phanteks PH-F1X0MP fans WD Black 4TB 7200rpm HDD 2x Crucial MX100 512gb SSDs In the near future it'll also be powering a custom dual loop watercooling setup. If you're wondering if 1000w will be enough for you and you have (or are planning for) a similar build, have no worries.

Pros: I used to be a G.Skill fan back when DDR2-800 was the sweet spot. I switched to Corsair for DDR3-1600 when I built a new system and had a bad taste in my mouth from a few prematurely dead DDR2 sticks. That started my loyalty to Corsair. This DDR4 is prime. The LPX heatsinks actually look very nice in person, with the raised logo and whatnot. I originally did not want low profile memory, but these proved to be outstanding. This memory comes with the stock speed of DDR4-2166, but has 2 XMP settings. DDR4-2666/1.2v and DDR4-2800/1.35v.

Cons: None.

Pros: This motherboard looks beautiful and performs great. Some people may want the extra .05% performance from other brands' flagship motherboards, but this thing is perfect for me. The BIOS is easy to maneuver and find what you're looking for. RAID and other hardware setup is flawless. The extra fan header PCB is nice, the WIFI works very well (I prefer hardwiring, though), and I have zero complaints.

Cons: VRMs run a bit warm than I'm comfortable with. Normal operating temp seems to be 57-61c. I'll probably just end up throwing a waterblock on those as well. When overclocking, Intel Speedstep does not want to work when syncing all core multipliers. Adjusting the multiplier core by core allows things to work smoothly, though.

Overall Review: Be sure to update the BIOS to the latest as soon as you can to prevent a fried CPU and VRMs.
