Tonight I've been busy with my motherboard.

Removed the heatsink and mounted the Bitspower waterblock set
Which includes:
- Mosfet block
- CPU block (forgot to take a picture, but you can see it in my youtube clip)
- Chipset block
- Top block

De pictures:










And I recorded my whole adventure, check it out:

I thought it was too dark at the top of the reservoirs.
Didn't want to place a white ledstrip, it's too bright (you're looking at it if you're sitting behind the Desk) and it will solar flare you.

I decided to place an UV strip, it won't make a solar flare (DBZ ), and it will let my white Mayhems UV coolant glow.

So I placed this strip in my Desk

ProAce LEDstrip Rigid - UV - Cross Desk Edition *LIMITED* - 52cm

This strip is especially designed for the Cross Desk.
The width covers the midplate exactly and the LED's are pointed to the front and up (so it lights up the reservoirs, but also the acrylic tubing above).


Looks like this:










I'm happy with it

 

Mounted the golden version of this Bitspower GTX980 Block on my GTX980:











One down... two to go...

 

And here we go, 3-way SLI ready

 

Looking good Freddy! All that gold *.*

 

Love the gold RAM blocks! Can't say I love that awful thing over the CPU though, but that's not a build criticism.

 

How I mounted the RAM waterblocks:





And played with acrylic tubing and LEDs:

 

Sweeeeeeeeet! You gotta love the blocks BP are putting out these days. Looking forward to seeing more.

J.

 

Looking great, I'm a sucker for black and gold.can wait to see the end result.

 

Did a lot of stuff this Friday evening

Put 5mm Leds in the GPU waterblocks.
Removed the connector of the LEDs, put the wire through a hole in the PCI bracket of the graphic card and connector on the wire again.
This way the LEDs can be plugged into a LED station behind the I/O panel.

It took quite some time to fit the 3 graphic cards into the motherboard and put the Bitspower Crystal Links in between -_-

It's a tight fit and also the EVGA SLI 3-Way bridge just fits.

Connected the LEDs onto the LED station.

Connected the
BitFenix Gold/Black power cables.
And used the E22 cable combs for the cables (I'll change the combs for the PCI cables with 12 slot combs, so the two PCI cables can be united as one).

And behold, the result for tonight:

 

Sweet! The white light + gold is a nice contrast!

 

In total 6x leds: CPU (2x), MEM block 1 (2x) and MEM block 2 (2x).
Put the cables between the CPU and GPU block, so it's out of sight, put the cables through the grommet:




And below it looks like this:



As you can see, will need quite some time to do the cable management



LED cables for the GPU blocks through the PCI brackets, so in front also out of sight




All LEDs connected onto a LEDstation:







The SLI Crystal links were too long, so I removed all 4 of them and made it shorter.

Now it fits perfect!
