Yes, I quite enjoy it as well….lolQuote:

The issue with the mod is that to hold the two sides closed I used a zip tie which ends up being positioned over the southbridge on the 780i. Even now the zip tie pushes down on one side of the EVGA fan making it uneven; this is one of the issues still holding this builds completion back.Quote:

If you’re aware of any, let me know!
I would definitely recommend the EnzoTech SLF-1 over the Evercool VC-RE for having better build quality and being more aesthetically pleasing. I can’t comment on performance as I haven’t done any testing with them but I would expect that the EnzoTech SLF-1would offer superior performance.
I’m going to make the following very clear so others will see this as well:
There are NO known issues with using a 9800GX2 with an EK Water block and using the EnzoTech SLF-1, EVGA 680i Southbridge Fan, or Evercool VC-RE on the 780i motherboards. Unless, a modification is done to the 9800GX2 that makes it stick out farther than the original outer case does. ex. My 9800GX2 Mod
Wow, it sounds like you got a pretty slick deal. I remember back when I was first starting out with a D40x; I purchased the DVD’s as well and studied them closely! Lol! Good choice going with both VR lenses; like I always tell customers “It’s like CHEATING”! A friend and I were fooling around with my 18-200mm VR in my kitchen one night and we were able to get the shutter speed down to about a 1/5 or 1/2 of a second which amazed us of course!Quote:

The build is still in pieces and all my computer hardware which is currently on the dining room table (it’s been there since 11-07) has to be moved downstairs because the relatives will be coming over, so it may be a few days before any work can be done on this build.
The most recent pictures are posted on my flickr account as usual.

I still have a few questions:
• Does anyone have images of the thermal distribution on the bottom of a DDC pump?
• How does one achieve a flattened area around a port on a circular reservoir? (Like the Ek Reservoirs)
• Some of my koolance fittings have begun to chip; exposing the brass, is this cause for concern? Photos of this are on my flickr..
• What are the two holes positioned closer to the center on the bottom of a DDC for?
• Does Bitspowers G1/4 Thread 1/2" ID x 5/8" OD Compression Fittings fit on a D-TEK FuZion v2 or are they too wide?
