Cyberbullying is mean.

Which is, funnily, what I got.

You got a z87 board or a z170 board? I hope you got the latter.

You do actually knowingly associate with me.
Fun fact:
When you associate with Sinister.ly, you technically associate with me and every other member...

I got the Asus Maximus VIII Extreme, Intel Core i7 6700k, EVGA Titan X, and 32gb of Corsair Vengeance RAM (2x16gb).

The case I have has a loop already. Haven't seen the CPU go above 40 Celsius yet.

Max temperature for Titan X is apparently 90 Celsius... I am fixing to stress test the machine, but I'll be surprised if it ever gets there.

Is it the reference cooler or the ACX 2.0 one?

Did a benchmark using FurMark. Scored 5788.

Reference cooler, although I was considering this:

That's a strong choice too. But don't forget, those AIOs don't take heat away from the VRAM chips. A fan blows air onto the vram, which works fine but not as well as water. While full contact blocks cover everything.
