Time for an update!
I guess we can see a beautiful Z97 MPower Max AC here
And the entire computer (terrible cable management, but I couldn't fit anything else behind the motherboard tray.. new case needed). My hand is not part of the system, had to hold the terrible side panel
So a bit of upgrades, but currently that's my spec:
Mobo MSI Z97 MPower Max AC
CPU Intel Core i5 4670 @3.8GHz Intel Turbo Boost undervolted
GPU EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX Double BIOS
Corsair:
Case 300R Windowed
RAM 4x4 Vengeance Pro Red 1600MHz
Cooler H80i Push-Pull
PSU CX750M
Sound card Creative Sound Blaster Z
Storage:
Samsung SSD 120GB (OS+few games)
Samsung HDD 80GB (old piece of crap, backup drive)
WD Black 1TB (storage, 700GB dedicated for games only)
Tons of fans (Corsair, Aerocool shark)
Samsung/Hitachi DVD Drive
And old but still good 11 year old Canon camera used for these pics :lol_anim:
Possible Updates? Bigger case (750D or 540AirFlow from Corsair) to fit all fans and better cable management; and GPU from MSI (760 or above) so it's Corsair and MSI based system only

The end of a nightmare 2 month upgrade.
Been through 2 ASUS M7F boards, both rma'd due to various problems. Finally switched to this MSI board and after a struggle to balance the RAM against the CPU, have now achieved a modest 4.7 daily OC build. I have gone higher very briefly but this is as far as I want to push the H80i.
I must admit I really like this board. I found the installation was a lot easier than the ASUS and the BIOS OC features are quite easy to understand/use. OMG even the Wifi works straight out of the box with Linux, in fact my Linux build loves this board
Though I confess that I hate the positioning off the fan connectors on the mobo, I mean seriously why put 2 of the system fan connectors right under the main PCI slot. I like the fact I can program a nice fan profile in BIOS that actually works, so I don't have to use any additional fan control such as MSI CC or Corsair Link in Windoze and subsequently the same BIOS fan profile covers Linux perfectly.
Here's what it looks like atm. Right now I have had enough of moving this rig about and opening it up so I'll post better pics when I add WC over the coming weeks.
