Rampage III Gene fullcover waterblock?

[tiborrr]

MrToad, I've just checked everything and there is enough 0.5mm thermal pad encased with the water block to fit all power regulation chips. You need to trim the thermal pad in smaller pieces and cover individual PWM chips if necessary. Just follow the manual and you should be OK. I would really suggest you to remove the gray spongy shim, mentioned in previous posts and do a 'dry run' mount. By 'dry run' I mean install the block as per instruction manual, remove it and inspect the contact. When everything is OK, re-mount the waterblock the same way as before. If there are problems with the contact inspect the mobo/block assembly and troubleshoot the source of bad contact. Take a picture of the possibly problematic spot afterwards!

EDIT: Install the tubing on the water block prior to the final installation of the FC waterblock on the motherboard! There is a chance you have chipped off the SMD elements on the X58 organic packaging in previous attempts.
