does it really make a difference that's worth $500+ performance wise?

Absolutely not. If you plan it correctly and use proper fans it is dead silent even under load though. But if you just look for price vs performance it's pretty much the worse idea ever.

You may gain few FPS while gaming and ~100 MHz on your CPU, but that's about it. Not to mention you would run higher voltage through your components making them degrade quicker.

Nowadays? It's mostly for show.

The two cpu block is an error

You think 1 D5 is suffisant for both 7700k (5.2GHz), Moba, and 1070 SLI ?

It is. 2nd would just be if you want to keep 2 loops separate from each other, which in itself is a bit pointless. Or for additional safety if one fails, which to an extent is more understandable, though D5s rarely fail.

I decided to take apart some stuff on my comp today since i had an awful rattle. Im pretty sure it was the shitty corsair stock fans they put in their cases so i replaced them with some 120s i had laying around in storage.

6700k at 4.4
16 gb ram
msi m5 mobo
ssd and a couple other storage drives
corsair 540 case - very nice, great to build in but has a lot of vibrations, probably wouldnt recommend
a bunch of other stuff

oh and that front panel audio thingy seems redundant but i broke my case front panel headphone jack being a dummy one day so that was the cheapest solution i could think of!

So I'll plan this for September/October

My 6600k delided @ 4.8 GHz (max temp 59°) with 2 gtx 980ti under water (2x nzxt Kraken 41).

Has to hold up for around 5 years xD

You won't need two CPU blocks

Maybe they want to go dual-Xeon?

I really like the look of the case. Could you please go into a little more depth as to why you wouldn't recommend it? Was strongly thinking of using it in my next build. But you've given me pause.

Not the guy you quoted, but I owned one before my current case and ended up just giving it to a friend who needed a new one. It's expensive for it's age and how little features you actually get. It's only real benefit is how much space behind the motherboard you have for management (and particularly good for water cooling builds where you can hide things such as the pump). Well that and the easily swap HDD bays at the bottom. As much as it costs, it lacks any sound dampening material and there are openings at the bottom of the case that help dust get in. The dust filter isn't very good. Noise leaks. It also takes up a ton of foot print.

It's really not that the case is bad by any means. It's just that you can buy much better for the same cost or less. And honestly if you were dead set on a large cube based computer case then you should at least go for the Air 740 which is the updated model.

The problems with the 540 Air are dust and the cheap fans that comes with the tower.
If you got dust problems dont get the case or spend 70$ for the dustfilter set.
The Fans on the top side can cause vibrations but when you dont screw the top part thight or without screws you can be lucky and remove the problem.
(also you can use spacer between tower and fans or try not to tighten the screws tomuch)
At first i tryed without top screws and it worked and now i bought some new fans with soft rubber parts which removed the vibrations.
Also you need quiet fans for this case.

Apart from this problems its a great case and even better if you hate cabelmanagment or building a PC from scratch.
I never had a tower that made the building more easy and you just need to throw all cabels into the second chamber and you are done.
You can even buy a HDD tray/buddy and use the 3.5 inch bays on the second chamber for your HDDs so the first chamber looks cleaner and your GPU gets less heat.

Hey yeah the 2 posts after yours pretty much nailed my issues perfectly. Its a beautiful case, amazing to build in with the room and very easy to make look like a clean build.

The noise kills me. Now that i replaced all 3 stock fans the worst rattle is gone but you may as well toss those fans in the trash the second you buy the case. I dont even know why corsair uses them they must get millions of complaints. There is a couple other tiny vibrations, one sometimes from the top fan guard and one from the side panels. which you can make go away temporarily by pressing on the panels. I have my fans set to super low speeds and it seems to be fixed but they are prolly at like 600 rpm or something insignificant. Lastly it is a huge case which isnt a problem for me but it can be.

Overall i do like it but its expensive for no real reason to me and for those reasons probably wouldnt recommend it to anyone unless they were dead set on it.

Separated loop. One loop with the moba and the CPU, one other with the 1070s. Then you don't share the CPU/Moba TDP to the GPUs, neither the reverse.

So if you have a big load on CPU but nothing on GPUs, your GPUs will remain cooler than if you have a shared loop. Its the same in the opposite case.

Like this:

I like the core P5 case better. That one in the video is giant.

You can only put 1 rad in P5, thats the problem. I currently have the P3 and its the same problem, I can't cooling my 1070s and my 7700k only with a single 360mm.

It's a lot of noise, a dust nest, and the GPUs are strong on the PCI-E slot (because of the weight) so my cards are sloping.

A 360mm radiator is absolutely enough surface area to cool two 1070s and a 7700k. The mid tier EKWB 360mm radiator has roughly 600W of cooling when the water is 10c above ambient. The 1070s only use 150w stock and maybe 180w overclocked while a 7700k is 91w stock and maybe up to 150w overclocked. Would more radiator perform better? Probably, but only marginally.

Shoes shown for scale!

Fellow Presonus user ftw! Now get a decent subwoofer, Presonus or KRK 10S will do, and enjoy!

Looks fantastic, nice and clean!

What specs is the cat?

And holy LED batman! That would distract the ever living crap out of me! Also, looks like the two outside monitors match, at least? What specs are all the monitors? Always include your peripherals too!
