@ 3oh6 - Long time no hear Just out of interest what S/B temps do you have with the SLF-1 ?, I have the CNB-S1L passive version and the max S/B temp I have seen is 53 degrees. I pre-drilled holes in the mobo tray behind the retaining clips so that I could change over without removing the board - just the graphics card - if it was worthwhile.

@ aln688 - Good to see you are well on the way, stick with the RE it will be worth it in the end. The Enzotech MOS-C1 worked well for me and saved any cutting. Here is my board 'naked' but with new passive cooling before adding the water blocks :-
