UPDATE OVERLOAD! Did a lot over the past few days and since my computer was down the entire time I couldn't make any updates. Expect a extreme amount of pics.
First I went and re did all of my blocks. I learned better polishing techniques and used better polishing products so I wanted to do them as best as I could. First was the LTX.
Then I did some plasti-dipping. IO ports, water block parts, pcie slot covers, etc.
And the outcome.
Just some random shot
Dood I am not even half way done yet. :biggrin:
Here is the outcome of the repolish of the first GPU block.
The reflection off the top of the block.
A pic comparing the new polished block to the first time I did it.
Testing fitment
and the SLI bridge

The original holes Lian Li had for tubing were too large for buckhead fittings so I'll have to do something my self.
and then by the time I finished the tube light was failing so I only got this one pic.

Great work
You put a HW Labs SR1 in the top of the A77F, then?
And how did you do to polish the waterblock?
I'd like to polish the top Ek waterblock, of the Laing pump
Thanks

Yes that is a HWLabs SR1 280mm.
Here is a good vid on how to polish. I spent a lot more time on mine to get them to glass like clarity. I also hand polished all the nickel with Autosol polish.
Ok thanks so much

Delidded the CPU today w/ the hammer vice method. Worked like a charm. Although the liquid pro was rather difficult to apply.
After being unimpressed w/ the Classified I went back to one of my reference cards. IMO the gains of the Classified aren't worth spending another near $200 on a block and backplate. I also ProGriped a bunch of stuff as the pics show. Also shown is my Yate Loon modded PSU. Had to drill out new holes for the fan since the new fan is slightly larger than the stock one. Also had to remove the soundcard. With it installed my Infiniband card wouldn't work. Guess there isn't enough bandwidth on Z87.
Was raining all day so some of the pics could have used more light.
Bloody hell, this will be a beauty! I find that braided GPU cables only look excellent if you do sort of a U-loop (bending them underneath the card). btw, I'm great fan of your builds, keep up the good work!
