The EK blocks are quite sexy to say the least and I am looking forward to seeing them in the case. The Aqua box contains something not seen here before and if all goes well, you will see it this evening.
I am about to do an out of the case start up on air to make sure everything works!

Good to hear everything worked fine on testing... can't wait to see what's in the AquaComputer Box..... Always love to see their stuff :up:

But it doesn't look good ...

Additionally i would have to mod the bracket as it fits crooked!

No NB cooler for me. Back to the lab!

A really nice build man!

Mips block looks much better imo :)

Thanks for the pics. Too bad about the NB block ... I see what you mean about it being crooked - it does make it look funky.

Yeah definitely go with the Mips.

That Aqua one looked horrible on there, and that just won't do....

Yes the Mips ones are very good looking :D

I think I need a break from looking at the Worklog section.

Everytime I come here my credit card starts burning me in my back pocket in my wallet.

What about the MCW-NBMAX by Swiftech? I have it on my MIIF and the build quality is nice.

I am not going to use a NB cooler after all. I tried another one today and I cannot accomplish the clean look with dual VC's.
I did play with the sexy EK VC blocks and I love them. I didn't use the standoffs and the 285's are a much better designed card than the 280's.

Without clothes....and notice all the thermal pads, drove me nuts!

With clothes, much sexier I think:up:

Closeup....sweet

And a pose...

I did some sleeving too but I didn't take any pics. You all know what that looks like. Now it's playtime...........

More tomorrow.....stay tuned!

Great pictures Rocky. I really like how the Ek 285 blocks look, very slick and substantial.

Your pups look very happy. ;)

Thanks Shazza, if you fed them or walked with them, you wouldn't call them pups! And let's not forget that you are the culprit of this entire 285 switcheroo!
However, I am glad you pushed me over the top. Sometimes a small disaster can turn into a good thing. As previously mentioned, the 285's have a much better design.

Thanks BA. I am trying to get better with the pics.
The EK blocks are substantial to say the least and they are very well made.
I never thought that a company would equal to the quality and looks of Aqua but EK has changed my mind. JMO
BTW, if you ate steak tartar everyday you would be happy too!:ROTF:

Yep, the EK blocks are ART!
Sleeving? Still the same, black as usual, but with a much better twist!

Those EK blocks look great... too bad about the AquaComputer Block, I was looking on getting that block but after seeing it on the board I think you made the right decision on not using it.

Usually AC stuff looks great, that block defintely looks like a miss... fit and aethestics wise...appreciate you reporting out the results since it saved me from geting it.

The AC block looks like a miniature Cuplex XT but it just doesn't look good in this application. It is a pretty block though.
