Look in the build log in my sig (the R4 one I think you saw it though) and you can see it. Get the clear one, it looks the best. :D

 

For coolant get distilled water or EK premix and maybe water that down.

I know right! Sadly it's a 3 slot card due to it's massive cooler. I'll be putting a water block on it soon

 

What do you think of the Palit? How's she oc? I just saw on Pccg that's it's $200 cheaper than any other 780 on there. I'm on the hunt for a 780 myself.

They're cheap in AUD. Hard part is finding a waterblock for it. It's very stable and I touch 1300 MHz stable on air at 70% fan speed.

Why thicker tubing? isn't it compatible? I can't really get the Primochill one, because it's $45 here...and that cpu block is the only one I can get with the budget.

That's pretty damn good, $200 cheaper than a Asus or EVGA means I can afford a waterblock for it. Did you find a compatible one?

Ooh. It is compatible, it just won't look as good as slightly thicker stuff.

I see no problems!

What coolant are you using?

Distilled water since I'm using red tubing.

A silver coil came as an extra for $1 so I got that instead of them.

:o

That block looks amazing.

They actually shipped the wrong one lol. I ordered one similar to yours, but I actually think it's better! Did you use additional thermal paste on each phase regulator?
