The black washers look 1000x better than the big honkin green ones, those would have drove you nuts everytime you just glanced into the case.

Nice pics, keep em coming!
Thats one nice looking blocknow lets open her up and get some naked shots

Whoa! It took a while to read through this but theres some exceptional pictures...and I loved the Supercar diversion half-way through
I was gonna comment on the GX2 HSF masking the waterblock but you've passed the credit onto someone else. Its a sweet idea!! The MountainMods case is a work of art dude- hats off to ya for the attention to detail.
Im glad you switched the washers on the 'X2. The green didnt work at all.
In the Formula you have a great-lookin mobo to work with. Its tempting to pick one up based on looks alone. Design has come so far in the last few years- adds a whole new area of finesse to case modding. Sure- the case is the focal point but its so much better when the hardware inside has had some thought put into it.
Are you gonna be watercooling the SB on the FormulaII? Because of the heatpipes- will they work upside down?
Will keep an eye on this threadIts going places!!

I need to test that block before you drop her in place!!!
Seeing that EK 9800GX2 block almost makes me wish I had one to use that on! So sexy in comparison to the others imo.
Thanks, I appreciate your support. I'll keep providing pictures as long as everyone still enjoys them.
I might take some shots of the internals, but I'll have to wine and dine her like R3 does with his Ek Supreme to get her top off.![]()
Thanks Kenny! I appreciate you dropping by as posting. The Maximus II Formula is a great looking board and will do everything I need it to, while looking good at the same time. I'm hoping the waterblock on the nb part of the heatsink will dissipate enough of the heat to keep the sb cool enough. That will be something I'll have to test when it's up and running.
Keep your eyes posted for some great updates this coming weekend. I think I should have everything and hopefully complete the build fairly quickly.
You got it. How about a GTZ too? Are you all ready for cpu block testing now?
I do have an extra 9800gx2...
Thanks though, it really turned out great and looks very slick. I keep looking for a deal on a 2nd gx2 block.
We want naked shots of the Cuplex HD!![]()
Heeeeeey...me first! As a mater of fact I need to borrow your Greyhound too. I got a couple of cats out back that are just too fast for me.
On the serious side, that new AC block should compliment the new build very well. According to the review here it is the variant to have in the Cuplex family.

Hey guys
Love the pics of the HD block BA. I am trying to find time to get the time to read up on my D80, but I just cant seem to find the time.
Looks like everything is coming together nicely. This thing is gonna be top notch for sure.
I got my replacement Bitspower rotaries, I just need to find someone in Canada that carries the other fittings I need. I should have gone direct from BP when I had the chance
Well, I had a few min on my habds at work and thought I should poke my head in your build log and see what is new
TTyall l8r
