A few updates coming here...
This is the plan for the bottom side. 3x anodized black fan grills.
Either I get the Lian Li wheels to get more distance from the floor or increase the length of the regular feets.
Radiator painted
Fans painted and the left one have a painted frame.
Looks a lot better so might paint the remaining three fan frames.
Sleeving applied.
When painting this weekend at my parents house I lost the rear ball bearings for two of the Gentle Typhoon fans.
My dad found one of them but the last one is still missing
Solution, stripped open one of my old Antech fans and yay, they use the same sized ball bearing as the Gentle Typhoons
Hopefully I can show you guys a lot more later this week when last stuff arrive from ChilledPC
Cheers and take care!

A small update, this arrived yesterday
Intel SSD G2 80Gb Retail package content
The SSD
Also two package of Arctic Cooling RC memory coolers.
If I paint those white, will I loose a lot of cooling power?
The build is standing still waiting for the final stuff from ChilledPC I ordered 3 weeks ago
Waterblock for NB/SB, the XSPC tubing, black screws and some other stuff.
Also need to buy some more sleeving from MDPC-X since i ran out, noob thing

Great job on your rivit tutorial! As far as I can tell from your pics you did an excellent job lapping your CPU.
I was going to purchase those Artic Cooling RC memory heatsinks for my ram but decided against it. Regular paint can act as an insulator and may noticeably affect temps. However, having them anodized can minimize the hit.
But painted heatsinks is better than none at all.
If you haven't seen this before, Tremeloes has a system displayed on MDPC with what appears to be these same heatsinks in white.

Keep up the great work. I'll be looking forward to more.

I have the same RAM coolers as you :-)
Would love to learn how you can remove those *arctic cooling* plastic badges without scratching The back of it.
i've had a serious problem with the glue thats on there :-(
ANYWAY! enough about me xD
Can't await to see how those ram coolers will turn out :-)

Easiest way would be to pop the sucker into some dry ice or liquid nitrogen and then pop it off (while taking appropriate safety precautions, of course, since it will be very cold). Soaking in some solvents might work too, but those might damage the finish or be more dangerous to your health than would be worth it if you could even find them
nice stuff! that holder came with ssd?
I would like to ask, why Intel X25? I am seriously thinking of getting ssd for my build right now, but didn't get enough information yet. I've heard that oCZ Summit drives perform extremely well.

Thanks for your comments guys!
I might try paint one of those and test it on one memory slot since I have 4 sets of the coolers. You know if the memory temps are shown per memory slot?
Yea Tremeloes build is the inspiration to painting those white
I removed one of the stickers now. Used aceton and a really small screwdriver to pry the sticker off. I wasn't to hard, just do it gently and add some aceton to the edges of the sticker.
The hard work was removing the remains of the glue from the heat sink.
Yes, the 2.5" to 3.5" adapter comes with the Retail package. I was going to buy the bulk one but it's really hard to come by in Sweden.
The Intel SSD have the fastest read compared to all others, and since I'm going to use it for the OS I choose read over write speed.
Hehe, I don't have dry ice unfortunately :P worked nice with aceton tho

Used Aceton without oil and a small screwdriver to remove the sticker on the Arctic Cooling RC memory coolers.
I added some Aceton to the edges of the sticker and gently prying with the the screwdriver.
Removing the remaining glue wasn't easy and the Aceton melted through my PCV plastic gloves :P
Probably need to do some sanding to remove all traces of the glue.

Nice job on those ram sinks, Winston.
Can I send my Corsair Dominators to you to fix up Just hate how the stickers have overwhelmed the otherwise nice design.

Hi christian,
I don't think I had any plans on how to remove the Dominator sink lol, didn't know it was hard to remove them
Thought you only had to unscrew the screw on top of the memory sink and slide the top part off?
Will google around and see if I can find any solution, tnx for mentioning this.

@hchristian: Be careful, I've seen pictures from someone who tried to remove the heatsinks on his Patriot Viper, too. He destroyed the RAM... .
I think I'm stuck with my stock Corsair Dominator Heat Sinks.
Today I searched around for solutions to remove the heat sink but looks like Corsair use some kind of superglue/thermal paste. Have no idea why but if I don't get any info on if it's possible to remove the stock heat sink and how I will not risk damaging the chip
Seen in this picture is something looking like glue between sink and ram chip.
It looks like the thermal paste doesn't even cover the whole surface of the memory chip.
You can remove the top fins from the head sink but doesn't to loosen the sink from the chip.

I wouldn't risk it, I had this problem with corsair pc8500's, not the dominators, but the casual dimm's, and after long time heating with a hair dryer, than pulling and fumbeling, the chips came with the spreader -_-

I got almost all of my stuff now. Yesterday NB/SB water block, tubing, screws etc arrived
When I opened the package to my surprise I saw that I got the wrong top for the water block
I ordered from ChilledPC and they also did nickel plating of the block to a really nice price. Since they had the the plexi top version as product picture for the acetal one I ordered the wrong one.
Tom said that I could send the top back and he would send a plexi top in exchange, but that would take even longer for me to get this system up. Instead I did an order for a plexi top from EK waterblocks for 14€
Nickel plated NB/SB water block with acetal top.
Looks nice, but why would I want to nickel plate a acetal one lol
Heat sinks removed.
Rampage II Extreme heat sink.
In the top of the picture the Republic of Gamers QPI DRAM Power card with heat sink.
I'm not going to water cool the mosfet, not at start anyway, so will leave the original heat sink on.
Since the heat sink is one whole piece I had to cut the heat pipe to the mosfet's
I thought a heat pipe had some kind of liquid inside it.
Looks like some kind of copper crystals.
I used the Tuniq TX-3 thermal paste for both blocks and I have never had such a problem applying thermal paste. It's thick as *** and applying it was like working with pizza dough on the chips
Wonder if it will look better with the plexi top
Problem I have now is how to fasten the ROG QPI card.
Maybe I make some kind of bracket to hold it in place.
I also got the Sythe Bay Rafter 2.5 so I mounted my SSD inside the HDD cage.

builds coming along nicely!
In the heatsinks is actually a gas, so I hope you were'nt breathing in at the time. . .

Nice progress with your blocks. I like the way you're taking your time and the attention to detail in every step.
I can't believe I've just found this project log!
The powder coating looks really nice.
Great stuff so far, keep up the good work matey!

Haven't found a "proper" way to test RAM temps, but I am prone to ghetto rigging. I once stuck thermal sensors and read the temps off an old fan controller. Uncertain as to how accurate this method yields but I reasoned that it couldn't be that far off.
But great progress, Winston! Dig seeing another XS member outfitting the same board as me with success.
