    Nice work Tanamoril...

    Now all we need is a bios flash tool (or if there is one I need to know!)

    Look forward to the leak test/temp results

    Leak testing passed on both blocks!

    I managed to find a pump I could use for more accurate results. Pictures and reinforced secondary mount to follow shortly.

    Even though the current arrangement is definitely leak proof, with perhaps the exception of an Iwaki , I arranged another mounting system to add a little extra to the seal.

    100% Sealed Design -
    Flipping the block over, copper side up, put a washer on each of the two screws and slide them through the mounting holes built into the block that were designed for the two-hole back mount, towards the black top. Make sure the stock screws originally designed to hold the block together are on the opposite ends of these mounting holes when installing. After sliding the screws through the mounting holes, use two of the open-ended screws used on backplate to fasten the screws into place. After that the water block should be perfectly sealed. Enjoy!





    [Blocks are arranged fully assembled as though already mounted]
