Continued in part 2.

So after a while I wanted to watercool. Wanted to do the whole custom loop thing (and I still do) but decided to hold off for a while. Decided to grab an H80 like I installed in a friends computer. Seen here:

Much to my surprise the H80i was out!

 

So I snagged one and I put it in my rig. Had a little snafu with the Firmware...Returned it and got a new one:
