Since the components only fit when the glass was on the outside, this is my solution. I've used some filler to build between the glass and the case so when I cover it in vinyl for the third and final time it will look like it was meant to be that way. *This is in progress, more layers of putty and sanding ahead, I know it looks bad now.

As you can see here I've moved my fans to the inside of the radiators, this just gives me more space.

You probably haven't seen the carbon fiber accent I put on the waterblock, so theres that.

And since someone suggested my res was dinky, I've upgraded to a slightly larger model of the same diameter. :P

Liquid Ultra has arrived, and so de-liding!

I used the non-hammer vice method as it was the least destructive. I tried with the razor but I got scared after I noticed I was starting to damage the PCB.

Applying thermal paste

And back into the mobo. I didn't glue it back on or anything, although I've seen people do that as well.

Did you put the stock heat sink back on? I'm curious what your temps were after applying the clu paste.

No I haven't booted with the delid yet. If I find the time I may try, although I just remounted the waterblock because I was bending tubes today and if I get my fittings soon I'm just going to boot on water.

Looks amazing.

Thanks!

 

I've pretty much finished my window. The gpu waterblock fits now! :cool:

A lot of sanding later...

masked off and drew my window lines and then cut it out and then

Peel off to reveal the window.

I was also thinking of gluing some screw or bolt heads around the window to make it look like its bolted in.

this card will fit on the 240?

 

I have 1mm of clearance between the front rad and the card. I can't install the card with the ram or res in place and I had to mod my window to make the waterblock fit, but oh yes, it fits.

I have some temps for you with the stock cooler.

Idle temps after 5min idle:

Core0: 23

Core1: 24

Core2: 23

Core3: 22

Package: 25

After 5 minutes of Intel XTU stress testing:(max temp)

Core0: 61

Core1: 64

Core2: 63

Core3: 59

Package: 64

Not sure why but the last core was always 5-6C behind the hottest core. I may have uneven TIM spread, or because the TIM on the IHS is brand new and not cured.

5min after stress test:

Core0: 31

Core1: 32

Core2: 32

Core3: 28

Package: 33

If I may ask do you have similar temp differences across your cores? And is 64C better than normal for stock speeds+heatsink? I didn't do a test beforehand, lol.

I was having 50-60 with an h100i and a 4790k, so stock cooler 64c under stress test is pretty good!

@Necrodead I don't have the time just at the moment to see if you linked something but did you follow a tutorial for that window? If so, could you link it please?

No sorry, no tutorial, but it was actually pretty easy. All I did was tape the glass to the side panel and then filled in the edges using drywall filler. Spreading it out was the hardest part, I used my fingers and an old credit card and then sanded it down between applications with a sanding sponge. It would have actually been better to use a small piece of wood as a sanding block, but I didn't have any wood in that size. I used 220 grit then went to 400 to finish it off. Since you're interested I may make a tutorial in the future. :)

it so pretty :)

 

Also had my GPU block hit my window when I used the 240, barely thouch but stil thouched. I hadn't even considered that case to have clearance issues like that. Pretty nice result you got with you window mod I'd might add :)

 

Pretty excited to see what kind of temps you get with a 295x2 in there even if the rad area should be just about sufficient :)

Thanks! I guess I should have considered spacing when I got the 240 since I knew that full hight tower coolers wouldn't fit, but I never did. Glad you like the window, maybe its because I've been looking at it forever but I wasn't sure how I liked how it looked.

Also curious as to how much over-clocking I can do without turning up the fans super high since that was one of my goals. I had planned for another 120mm in the back of the case but she didn't fit.

Thanks again!
