Hey Bustin’ you have any problems with your M4? I had one that failed after about 3 months they replaced it but I have it just sitting on the shelf I’m a little scared to use it as a boot drive. Also Props to you getting your 2500k to 4.5ghz mine ran out of stability there and I had to roll it back to 4.3 where it seems to be very happy, the wife’s is running at 3.8 which isn’t much of a stretch for it but her PC has a H80 cooler which isn’t very efficient even with new fans in push/pull.
I have had no problems with my M4. I also have a 3 year old vertex 2 from ocz. I always flash the firmware on the ssds b4 I use them and also try to tweak them so there is less unnecessary writing. This guide might be usefull – http://www.thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/optimization-guides/the-ssd-optimization-guide-2/
The h80 has a much thicker radiator than my antec all in one loop and I only have a single geil wing 12 in push on the rear of the case. 4.5ghz is really just luck of the draw and I do hit mid 65C under heavy load.
Yeah all in one water loops are more about looks and a more open looking case interior. A good noctua cpu air cooler will usually out perform most single 120 rad coolers. The h100 is decent but won’t be any quieter than a massive noctua air cooler and does run the risk of pump failure. Most water coolers also work better when upgraded with high static pressure fans to push air through the radiator.
If your GPU uses a reference design cooler it will at least vent most of the heat out the back of the case. Most aftermarkets will just vent heat to the interior.
Nice build! But why WD red? I recommend a 120GB ssd and a 2TB WD caviar black for a steam/game drive. You will have enough room for a few MMOS and apps on the ssd and the WD black is a solid performing platter drive that’s fast and has 5 year MFR warrantee.

WD reds do make nice storage and NAS drives.

I would love to know as well. GW2 does look stunning in 3D apart from the map being messed up with high conversion and separation.
