Hello here is a little update. Im almoste finish, i got all the cables and tubing done, made a bracket for the pump/res combo, i got to say there is not alot of room in a H440 for a pump/res, but i made it work, but if i was to do it again i would use a separate res.

Man, I love the H440, and this build to! It's just a shame you won't be able to see the reservoir.

Is it a monkey? Is it an ape? I don't care, I LOVE'EM!

Looks good!  That case is a fantastic watercooler.

 

Have you filled it up?  Got OC specs?  Temps?

Update, i got her filled up :) and no leaks, Temps are fine on the Gpu max 41´c with oc, but i think the Cpu runs a little hot, 56´c at full load with no oc. What did i do wrong, i tried to change the thermal grease, but that did not help.

The MSI Z77 Mpower heatsinks have covers on them ( with the yellow accents on them ) they can be taken off from the actual heatsink its self, which is what the OP has done.

Yes the top heatsink covers were removed, but the lower one i had to paint, because the heatsink it self had some ugly bolt holes

Why can't anyone produce a proper black motherboard :(

 

But anyway, nice job watercooling an H440! I was thinking about doing something like that myself, but i didn't know where i could fit anything. Thanks for the inspiration :P

Yeah short from an uber expensive X79 motherboard from Asus or EVGA there isn't much. It's pretty hard to justify the cost of the Mpower if you're not an extreme overclocker too.

The Mpower boards aren't actually that expensive though. 200 dollars for the lower end one is fair for a high end motherboard. After all, Asus' entry level standard motherboard with nothing really to boast about is ~190
