Where'd you find the red and black cpu block? I think it will look really good!

EK-Supreme HF High Flow - CPU Water Block "Easy Mount" - Nickel - Red Plexi/Black Products Model: EK-Supreme-HF-Red-Nk [EK-Supreme-HF-Red-Nk] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come
It's just a red acrylic block on the normal black mounting.

Dang they don't sell that block any more :( Just the red top separately. I wonder how much of the block you actually see once the fittings are installed?

Do you have a picture perhaps ;)

Can still see quite a bit of the block.

I'll be done testing the rest of my cards tonight. Then I can start on installing the GPU blocks minus backplates, which should be here next week.

After some holidays and whatnot I got to completing this monster, well almost. Currently only 2 of the cards are running as I ran out of 6-pin connectors for the mobo. That should be in soon though.


The rads all done up.


Top shot. Notice only 2 cares wired up atm. I cleaned up the sloppy power/reset cables.

Overall I am fairly happy so far. I am debating tossing in a Corsair AX850 Watt PSU for CPU/HDDs etc, then using the AX1200 for GPU only. I did run two GTX 590s no problem, so I might just stick with the AX1200.

I'll have the 4 cards up and running soon.

Temps are good thus far. GPUs are under 40c on 3dmark11/Heaven 3.0. I'm sure that will change when all 4 cards are going.

I still need to OC the CPU and cards. I am going to update the first post with a list of everything.
