    Yeah, I'm probably going to do that. I should be getting all the parts tomorrow, and I'm going to order some RAM sinks in a sec too.

    The RAM sinks plus a few other things should be here tomorrow, and I'm hoping the same for the brackets.

    Yep good gear. Are you getting Swiftech RAM sinks? I just used some and found the thermal pads they use to be very crap, no adhesion at all. I would still get them as they are good heatsinks but I would remove the thermal tape and use Arctic Silver Ceramique to attach them.

    More Pics
    Ram sinks will be painted black. The chrome piece on the GTZ will be painted green, once I find out where to get nvidia green paint, and am ready to paint the case.

    Looks good so far!

    Just something for you to watch for, I had a Swiftech Micro Res and it got cracks in it and leaked over time. Just keep an eye on it incase the same happens to you. I am now just using a 'T' in the line and a DangerDen fillport.

    Thanks.
    Did the cracks appear where the acrylic is supposed to be fused?

    If it's around the fittings you probably over tightened them. Nice water block. I have the GTX but the GTZ looks so badass lol.

    Hmmm, forgot to mention that. Personally I think they would look better copper anyway.

    it was at the top along the edges. lots of them.

    im not sure where it leaked though. I just know it did because I used velcro on the bottom on the res to attach it to my case and after a while it was orange from my fluid.


    I didnt over tighten the barbs.

    The dtek instructions are retarted. First of all the blocks came with the brackets I ordered separately, second, I didn't even need them.

    Looks really nice and clean! I'm glad you went with GFX to GFX instead of splitting the line!
    Though personally, I'd probably have done it like this:

    Just so lines didn't cross... But that's just to my liking! :)

    Did I say I really like the mod? :thumb:
