Did you paint the DVD drive or did it come like that? Linky?
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...

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.
First ... remove the ten screws on the back, use a screwdriver with a small tip
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!
Next remove the two marked screws below, yep only two screws. You will need a very small screwdriver here [Precision Screwdriver works best]
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!
Eeew! That looks nasty thermal paste!
Clean and ready for waterblock [EK-FC280 GTX - Nickel]
Standoff MOD ... After cutting, grinding, sanding and final measuring! 4mm [~0.02mm Tolerance]
Another shot!
Surface contact ... very good!
Eeeew! My bad ... applied too much thermal paste ... haha! Will fix that after remount.
Finished!
Where is BANANA card! Confirmed no bananas!
Black screw again! Haha! Joy!
Fav Shot ...

so what did you win for the WD harddisk promotion? I got the backup software
anyway, keep it up! good job!
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?

Loving the work so far, gonna be building my TJ07 next week so am getting ideas from great builds such as yours and of course all murdermod ones. What hose clips are you using ?
EK Supreme with i7 Mounting plate and EK Backplate CPU 1366
Shiny!
EK-FB RE2 - Acetal
Installing the NB/SB water block
Disassemble the heat sink ... waaah! the mobo naked!
Eeeew! On the right [IO side] ... the thermal pad contact not good! Asus QC check it out!
X58 ... awesome chips!
Asus ROG light/heatsink for the QPI DRAM Power Card >> Small MOD
Item needed >>
1. 3mm arcylic cut into size
2. 10mm 3M0.5 screw [Drill bit and hand tap also]
3. Heat sink from old mobo ... cut into size
Place the old heat sink onto the original thick thermal pad on top the chips. Simple ... and easy! Haha!
Water Block Installed!
EK Supreme ... FTW!
EK Full Board Block ... with MOD standoff
Full board shot >> Joy!
Enjoy!![]()
I like the standoff idea! Must really make it less frightening to put the waterblock on
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.
Looking good joe, keep em coming![]()

Love the standoff idea as well, in fact I may even "borrow" it from you.
