    OK!!

    Install went well:

    Removed 2 black DVI bracet screws, 2 black rubber plugs, and 10 screws from the back. You have to pry off the heatsink:

    This is what I found underneath.




    I cleaned off the memory chips:




    We now remove the heatsink, from the GPU.




    Cleaned the gunk off:




    I put some MX-2 on, and I know, most like to just put a dot...
    I can help myself, I had to distribute it on the face of the chips too!!




    For the memory chips, and under side of GPU, I used the supplied thermal pads:





    Attach the backplate:





    Installed the 1/2" barbs:




    Added er into the loop!:

    Looks like at idle:

    CPU Core 1 through 4 all went up 1C. No big deal...

    NB had no change...

    SB is reding 1C higher... (And not in the loop.)

    GPU was 38, now is 34. I lost 4C off my GPU temp at idle...

    On to load testing!

    I think I may have my in and out backwards?

    Do you think it is incorrect, and is it hurting me?

    They have theirs both pointing up. I need 1 up and 1 down.

    Do you think mine is like the lower right example in the install guide?

    I am thinking it is an exact match to my setup if I am looking at it correctly...
