All I did was to remove the backplate from the mounting - I kept the rubbers and the rubber spacer. As I said if I had kept the whole mechanism it just becomes too big and shorts out against the case.

Has anybody made some improvments on load temps with custom blank metal part?

DO NOT use blank metal part, you might damage pump, burn cpu and so on.
It's only for reason for owner wishing to experiment with cutting his own holes for waterflow in it and only after that it's usable.
I haven't bought this waterblock yet, but somehow i doubt that there is no notice about blank plate in documentation.
Used as is blank plate can fully restrict water flow in loop with all the following niceties like rising temps, pump trying to work without any water movement and so on.

Hence he said 'custom', meaning some form of modification has been made :).

Is there a EK-Supreme-HF with the Red Acrylic top like there is for the normal EK-Supreme-Classified because I REALLY like the way that one looks as it will be put on a classified board?

When I got my EK Classified mobo block the dam red acyclic is scratched, otherwise perfect.

Good thing the POM is so dang nice;)

Eddy, how hard to get a unscratched one:confused:

I guess I'll have to wait. I'm definitely getting the nickel block. It's simple yet beautiful. Now I have to decide if I'm gonna go with black or silver fittings.

someone called it clinker @home (forumdeluxx) :shakes:

I love it anyway (Supreme HF CU nickelplated), even though the top should be polished (:p: Eddy):

Heh, forumdeluxx is good for selling/buying but not much else. The attitudes there and general atmosphere really turn me off to that forum.

Just wondering if it is possible to fit 2 45 degree adapters on this block (The CU Version) as it currently is?

Im looking at putting 2 of these http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishsi45deg1.html on the block. Considering there isnt enough room for 2 compression fittings, im wondering if there is enough room for 2 of these on the block

absolutely no problem. And which fittings do you have? Not every size and type will cause a problem. HF CU with (small) id 3/8 - od 1/2 fittings (a lot of space left):

And I am pretty sure that the EK-Fittings id 7/16 - od 5/8 will also match (perhaps Eddy could check it)
