Looks great Utnorris. I like the use of the same fittings all around.
Do you have anymore detailed images of how you mounted your D5 with Ek top? I see you used a UN bracket. Did you have to drill out new holes to fit the Ek block?
Do you plan on installing any fans in the front?
The EK top went right on like a glove, however the holes do not line up with the UN bracket and therefore I had to use just one hole. I cranked it down and it will not move. I could have just drilled another hole, but I didn't want to mess up the paint. As far as mounted to the case, double sidded sticky tape, ghetto? Yes. Effective? Yes. :D Can it be seen? If you look for it. :DQuote:

I was hoping that Swiftech would put out a solution like they did for the HD4870, but they do not plan too and at the price they are charging I wouldn't get it anyway. Maybe if they sold it separate from the waterblock (which is what it was supposed to be) and it was less than a MCW60 I would go that route since I already have the MCW60's.Quote:

nice work , utnorris :) and i'm first to say gratz yay!! :)
Nice work Utnorris - looks good :up:
Need to fill up the Micro-Res though ;)
Trying to get the air out of it currently, stupid res just keeps recycling the air, :(. I am going to unmount it tonight and get as much of the air out as I can.Quote:

You were exactly right. I unmounted the res, got the initial air out of the loop, then filled it up almost to the top. From there I just kept cycling it until I had about 99% of the air out. The remaining bit is lowly coming out by itself.Quote:
