Seriously though, keep up the great work :up:
moving on to HK mount 3 and uploading the install video.
Working as fast as time allows, I want to be done with the round-up as well. :)
edit:
Fun fact, I've cleaned and mounted coolers on this card more than 24 times now. :shakes:
access granted hello all...
very excited to see the results will be picking up my 2 480's on thursday and then after the round up ordering my blocks X_X
Except for that backplate the mounting seems pretty straight forward for the HK, nice video! :up:
Allen screws everywhere on that block. While I really like them I can see now why that other reviewer overtightened them around the VRMs, I just don't understand why he blamed this kind of user error on the block.
Edit: Hello there and welcome! :)
Excellent video skinnee, keep them coming! Your full report on all of the water blocks cooling performance will be worth it's weight (wait) in gold! :rofl:Quote:

I'm afraid I already made my choice with the EVGA GTX 480 FTW card/block combo (I came across a deal I couldn't turn down), but I'm very curious to see your results!
Would wonder if you're going to wear out that GPU just from all the remounts you've been doing! :D
MSI is Quality :up:Quote:

Love the vids, but looking at the HK, I think I'll still go with AC.Quote:

Wait. . .what? Since when. . . and why don't we have a board for it?Quote:

Great thread Skinny. I can't wait for your results to finally come out. I'm getting Ansy i must say. But I have ZERO room to complain after all the work your doing for us to benefit. If I could rep you, I certainly would!
and blazarcher, people are getting bothered cuz your posting 4 posts in a row, in a matter of minutes. Thats why this thread is 23 pages.. Use the edit button and keep double, triple, or (uh oh, dare i say it) Quad posting to a minimum.
