I don't know if I am looking at the same picture as you are, but I see the water flow from the outlet on the pump to the inlet to the CPU block.Originally Posted by SNiiPE_DoGG
Are you saying that Gravity/orientation has an effect on a closed loop system?

*waits with baited breath* those plated EK blocks look lush.

The outlet is just supposed to be higher than the inlet only to avoid trapped air bubbles. This would make the D-tek nameplate on the block right-side-up.
Technically, it is upside down, but given the loop is bled correctly/fully, it should not matter. I see nothing wrong with it given how clean the loop is

Thanks for the comments Guys.
Project Update: The top Acrylic grill is done but I was hoping to get decent lighting to get pics that would do it justice. Sadly its overcast but rather than wait any longer, I figured I'd at least give you an idea of how it turned out.
I'm very happy with the result - it's a simple design but it performs the required function of allowing warm air to escape, in addition to permitting view down into the case. The added bonus is by allowing light to enter the case from the top, the innards have even more contrast and look wicked. Its a two piece kit; I designed a flange that gets attached to the inside of the case in the place of the black grill. Once the flange is in place, the grill simply drops in. It fits perfectly into the cutout. The idea of not fixing the grill to the flange was twofold - One; it allows you to remove the grill for cleaning - Two; it allows you to remove the grill to replace it with another design - using the same flange. I'll offer the murderMod TJ07 005 top grill to anyone who may want one (but please don't contact me about it yet). I should have inventory by the 1st week of July. News and info will be on my website. I hope this statement doesn't breach any forum rules and if it does, Mods please accept my apology and kindly edit as you see fit.
Ok, moving on - I started with the normal extruded Acrylic but wasn't happy with the edges. I then switched to cast Acrylic which is slightly more expensive, but the edges are much cleaner looking. I guess that's enough yacking and time to get with the posting of pics - I'm afraid to say that these pics don't do the thing justice. I promise to get better shots when the lighting improves. I just didn't want to make you guys wait any longer.
In other news - FC's build has come to a grinding halt because we're missing the IO shield. I know... I know...
Fried Chicken is looking feverishly for it but alas it may be a goner. If that's the case, we're in trouble. At some point I may need to reach out to you guys in the hopes that one of you have a spare IO shield for an eVGA 680i mobo. The reward will be eternal gratitude - and cash.
Damn that looks amazing. Most impressive I must say, fits nicely with everything else you've done. Keep us posted when it might be available.

WOW, that is amazing
By far, that is the best grill I've ever seen. Period.

For the IO Shield. Why don΄t you ask directly at EVGA?
Lost mine too and had 2 days later a new one
wow that grill is so sexy!!!
Incredible work bro!
It's amazing!!
try contacting evga, foxconn or bfg cause they're all the same 680i boards. foxconn makes them and evga and bfg rebadge their names on em. i think xfx may use the same board to but i dont remember, haven't looked at that series since last summer when i built a pc for a friend and used one.
looks good. the actual piece and pics look almost the same as the modled pics.
i was up at Lowes yesterday and stopped by the electronics section and found those cable clamps, they were made by a different company but i got them and they work great. great idea Charles

Hey, I don't know if it's any help, but I have an extra I/O shield for my XFX 680i LT that I'm not using. It's leftover from my RMA, I forgot to send it back, lol. If it'll work, you can have it for free. Call it for the good of the cause.... the murderMod cause!!!

just curious how you mounted that grill Charles

oppss missed that one. thanks Friedchicken!
10 please
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
lyl he does have a problem bleeding that loop fully, with his scenario of tipping the case on the front, air will get trapped in his fuzion block...
anyway this is still not quite finished, so he can still invert the cpu block to the proper orientation...
nice grill Charles. a work to be envied...
