Damn it Bex, that board looks sweet with those blocks fitted!!
Though I much prefer the HK 3 copper CPU block than the XSPC Delta 3, but still, it looks very nice indeed!
I'm in the process of setting up my first ever custom loop, and I had only planned on watercooling my CPU and GPU, but after seeing this pic, it has made me seriously consider putting my board under water to, as it looks so much cooler with those blocks, instead of the stock passive heatsinks.
One thing though Bex, is that mobo lying directly onto a carpet?!?!
Doesn't the thought of static electricity worry you??
Did you fit everything yourself, yes?
I have got just about everything I need to setup my loop now, I'm just waiting to get my HK 3 block, and then I will be ready to start, but I am actually quite frightened about starting it, as I am scared incase I damage my GPU when I get round to removing the stock cooler, as I read that the GTX280 cooler can be a real PITA to remove, but I have read up quite a lot of stuff over the last couple of months, preparing myself for this, so I am sure everything will be just fine!!!
I think I will stick with only cooling my CPU and GPU to begin with, and if everything goes smoothly, I will buy those mobo blocks and get my board under water to, as it would look really good having the entire system water cooled!!
It will have to be those acetal top blocks that I go for as well, as I don't really like the look of the acrylic ones.
@javanese, I am unsure about the 21x180 vs 19x200 thing mate, I guess having higher Bclk should give you slightly better performance though, as QPI and Uncore speeds will be slightly higher??
Maybe someone else can chime in here though, as I am not 100% sure man.
