Things are getting better. (i7-6800K) 6 core.
Ran MemTest86+ (spd 2400) for about 13 hours with no problems found. (Corsair DDR-4/2666 set at 2400)
Over Clocked to 4.3 and running great and cool. (used AID-A64 Extreme) I sure do like XS-PC and DC 5 pumps.

I remove the case fans from the Phanteks pwm fan hub because it wouldn't let the fans run above 80%. The bios was controlling the fan speed. The system was running well within allowable temps but I wanted better.
I got about 3C better running the fans at 100%. Which is where I always run all my fans.
Quality fans run quiet at 100%. Well except for some industrial grade fans that max out at 3000 rpm. All case fans are Phanteks (PH-F140SP LED) x 5 and I think they are as good as any on the market. The radiator fans are XS-PC radiator fans rated at 1600rpm max; and I run them at max. The water cooling system is XS-PC with a 360 radiator, push/pull with 5 fans.
The 6th fan put to much strain on the cpu power motherboard connectors. I cut up a Corsair fan so I could use half of the housing to make things look balanced in the case.
