Nice build, and I'm digging the HDD anti vibes on the rads. Clever!
Hesitant myself to put holes in my Feser 360s.

Did you use O-rings or anything when you screwed the rubber stands directly into your rads?
I'm just concerned about the leak factor...

Yep! Need to be extra careful there. I used rubber washer in between the rad and the standoff.

Asus EN280GTX on EK Waterblock

This is my first time ... cold sweat! GTX 280 is very difficult to disassemble! Here I show some of the process ... for noob guide.

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5382copy.jpg

First ... remove the ten screws on the back, use a screwdriver with a small tip

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5386copy.jpg

The card Clip and Hook system which is a major pain to work with. I marked six of the clip spots in below picture. Take note of the hook location during prying the back cover ... gentle though!

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5387copy.jpg

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5388copy.jpg

Next remove the two marked screws below, yep only two screws. You will need a very small screwdriver here [Precision Screwdriver works best]

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5389copy.jpg

Final step you have to remove the screws near the fan exhaust, then you can separate the PCB and the top cooler. You need to use enough force to overcome the suction force between GPU IHS and heatsink base. Done!

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5385copy.jpg

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5391copy.jpg

Eeew! That looks nasty thermal paste!
Clean and ready for waterblock [EK-FC280 GTX - Nickel]

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5393copy.jpg

Standoff MOD ... After cutting, grinding, sanding and final measuring! 4mm [~0.02mm Tolerance]

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5415copy.jpg

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5419copy.jpg

Another shot!

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5420copy.jpg

Surface contact ... very good!
Eeeew! My bad ... applied too much thermal paste ... haha! Will fix that after remount.

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5416copy.jpg

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5418copy.jpg

Finished!

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5422copy.jpg

Where is BANANA card! Confirmed no bananas!

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5426copy.jpg

Black screw again! Haha! Joy!

so what did you win for the WD harddisk promotion? I got the backup software :(

anyway, keep it up! good job!

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...C_5977copy.jpg

could you reduce the tubing length by just running the loop from the feser quad upwards in a 90 degree bend toward the midplate instead of running in a huge 180 degree loop? are you trying to avoid impeding the airflow by running it down then up so that the area directly in front of the fan remains relatively clear?

also, Joe, any reason as to why you used 20mm fans for the quad feser and s-flexes for the dual feser? is it for tubing clearance between the 2 rads?

Got the backup software too. :p: 90 degree bend towards the midplate is possible ... I want the tube directly below the CPU block. No special reason tho ... ;) Hmmm ... 20mm fan ... I shouldn't get that one anyway. Being a noob ... my first WC.

I like the standoff idea! Must really make it less frightening to put the waterblock on:p:

Continue the great work, I can't wait for the time to roll around on my next build and for me to finally cough up the cash for some custom cuts.
