I love z2 for the quality material and front facing speakers. Dbrand's skin looks epic, kinda reminds me of TF2.

My favorite is the dual window feature, would love to try it.

Thank you. I was considering to paint the motherboard, but it is just too much effort.

Thanks!

I used a dremel to cut out the window, vinyl wrapped it and then glued the u-channel in. It was actually pretty easy, just make sure to mask the side panel, because if the dremel slips it will ruin the side panel.

You should it's a really nice case.

Thanks man. As i said in the description I had to clean the fins from dust and change the thermal paste.

Here is the first version. I thought i'd reupload since the pics got lost in the transition from Vbulletin.

Here is the second iteration of my rig. The first one was called metallic ice and I uploaded it around two years ago, unfortunately at that time linus tech tips was on Vbulletin that absolutely refused to upload my pics. After a year i decided to upgrade to the NZXT's H440 and H100i plus a fan swap. I was planning to do a full watercooling loop but unfortunately EVGA is being really annoying with their exclusive, non-existent, unattainable waterblocks. I disassembled the graphics card to change the thermal paste/pads and to clean out the dust that accumulated over the year.

Great. Thanks for confirming that!

Guys thanks for your replies, but I think you missed the point. None of the waterblocks in the link fit Evga 680 classified. Unfortunately EK doesn't have a waterblock for my card. I have tried cooling configurator before. The only thing that I can get from EK is the universal block which I am not intrested in.

Hello guys, I've been wanting to watercool for a while now, but unfortunately I was unable to get my hands on graphics card waterblocks. I have two Evga's 680 classified cards and there isn't any other manufacturer except for Evga that makes the waterblock. Do any of you know where I can get them? I also read on one of the Evga forums that the 770 classified waterblock might fit the 680, but i am not sure. Do any of you have any suggestions on what I can do? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I agree. Use top two as exhaust and 140 at the back as intake. As you said yourself hot air rises so in my opinion you shouldn't work against that. I assume you don't have a clear side panel so no worries about seeing the cables at the back of the fan. I think the reason top two fans are filtered is to give you flexibility in case you really wanted to use them as intake. Also I wouldn't count the power supply fan as intake as it does not affect the airflow of the case at all.

Really nice build man. Love how neat your window cut out is. I was wondering what did you use to cut the side panel, cause the aluminium is pretty thick. Also how thick is the acrylic that you used and how did you attach it? Have you considered using a black marker to color in the edge of the cut? I just think it would look a tiny bit better.

Thank You!
