Thanks. The installation was surprisingly easy. The only gpu waterblock I've owned before was an EK 4870x2 so the process was familiar. I don't recall if that block came with pre-cut thermal pads for the memory. Having those for this installation was a pleasant surprise. About half of the large thermal pad for the VRMs was left over so there was plenty for botching some cuts.
I thought the spacers would give me some trouble like I had with the full X58 block, but they stayed in place perfectly on the first try. The cards smaller, flat pcb probably helped the placement along with the even weight/size of the block.
