Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

[Exahertz]

Installing EK's North Bridge, South Bridge, Mosfet and D-Tek Fuzion on the Asus Maximus Formula SE






First thing is i needed to remove the stock cooler:


I had to pri the heat pipe off of the south bridge so i could remove the north bridge. its very easy to pop off i might add.


Heat it up till its hot to the touch and slide it off.


I see chipset!


I put some artic silver on the chip set. i spread it on using my fingure and a latex glove.


Seems to slide right on! i guess eddy fixed that issue




Now for the south bridge, everything lines up but if you look at the tightining nut it conflicts with the hose barb


easy fix though


cleaning the mosfets with a q-tip and isopropanol alchole.


cut the pads


and line them up with a tooth pic


after putting on the mosfet blocks all is done!



now on to tubing




now lets all really hope i didnt screw something up while doing all of this! lol
