So I finally decided to give watercooling a try and swap my TRUE, NB and SB sinks for a new loop with some case mods and a bit of a case tidy up as well, so here goes:
The Kit:
1 x XSPC RS360 Radiator
1 x EK NB Water Blocks EK-NB 780i
2 x 1M 10mm Flow Springz (UV Blue)
8 x XSPC G1/4 to 10mm Compression Fitting
1 x Zalman ZM-RHS1 VGA Coolers
3m x XSPC 10/8mm PVC Tubing
1 x 1L Feser One Coolant UV Blue
1 x XSPC Dual 750 Bay Reservoir Pump ? Clear
1 x Swiftech Apogee GTZ (LGA775) CPU Block
6 x Noctua NF-S12 1200 RPM 120mm Quiet Case Fan
1 x Enzotech - Low profile Chipset block SLF-1
2 x 12" Akasa UV Cold Cathodes
1 x 200 piece pack of 100mm black cable ties
1 x 12m Roll of PTFE Tape
2 x 33m Black Electrician's tape
The Process:
The obligatory external "before" shot:
I whipped the TRUE off and got the mobo disconnected and removed from the case:
Flipped it over and whipped off the 8 sprung screws holding the heat sink arrangement on
Once removed (with a bit of tugging and a sphincter twitching crack) the whole thing gave way revealing that EVGA haven't skimped on thermal paste and pads, in fact they appear to have heaped it on
