While technically this one doesn't have the "award winning" moniker yet, I think its fair to say it would crush the competition. i7 6800k gskill ddr4 3200 asus x99 deluxeII samsung 950 m.2 ssd geforce titan x corsair carbide 540 case

I might try hard tubing next. firestrike http://www.3dmark.com/fs/10256957 firestrike ultra http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9988544 They barely went up (~100points) compared to my 3770k @ 4.7Ghz

Watercooling was probably around $600. 2 blocks, 2 rads, pump, reservoir, tube and fittings. Take that with a grain of salt though, it could be done for much cheaper with basic components.

But does it serve another practical purpose? Are you doing some insane overclocking? Last edited by YourGrandpa on 10-08-2016 06:10 PM, edited 1 time in total.
