Hi everyone!

Case: haf 932 advanced
After having this for about a month, i was not happy with my oc temps and wanted to achieve higher clocks with lower temps (was hitting 4.8ghz @ 1.41 v).
I spent quite a while researching and reading and have come down to this parts list. Please, any suggestions or comments are encuraged.

Fittings: xspc low profile compressions (needed 15 so went with cheap/simple)
