Got tired of waiting for Sabertooth Z170 retail availability, so I switched to the Maximus VIII Hero and pulled the trigger on the workstation build.
I've done a couple of builds for others with sealed-system liquid CPU coolers from Corsair, but I decided to try out a custom liquid cooling setup this time for my system.
