To be fair it is in the forum rules that a log is only a log once there have been actual progress pictures posted, rather than just concept pics and/or photos of the gear. Often that means the logs starts when the first bit of modding gets going. In other news, wow now EK decides to offer gold fittings... Bit late but alright then. Always love seeing how your builds turn out Snef, will definitely be watching with keen eyes.
Little Update start working on Cable for Gold Wings and used Darkside Cablecombs, I really like them and installed Waterblock on Maximus VII Impact for test fit, last time you see these block in nickel finish, next photo shoot, the will be gold plated
UPDATE: Gdesmo sent me some photos of my water block GOLD plated im in love.......I just love the results Thanks Gdesmo for your help on these, just spectacular im so excited, cant wait to build it list of parts EK-FC970 GTX Strix Nickel EK-FB ASUS M6I Nickel EK-RAM Monarch X2 Nickel EK-D5 Cover Kit Nickel EK-AF Angled 90° G1/4 Nickel EK-AF Angled 2×45° Nickel all plated gold do you like "GOLD"?
Dat gold plating job! So he plates the entire blocks, even the innards, that's interesting. I would have thought that would negatively impact the temps, if only a little.
You plated the rotaries? Do they still rotate and stuff? The anodized compression fittings will look babyshit brown next to those. One of 50. None of the other Vulture builders can brag about that. It's like Eddy gave you his personal copy.
I must admit I am worried about the compression's up against this bling The 01/50 that is just like getting a piece of real treasure
