Can I ask how you protected the interior of the pci slots (etc.) when painting?

i didn't. the paint chips off when things are inserted into it. hind sight. i would have plugged them with cardboard like i did here. for the black and gray one i did have to scrape 3/4 of the painted ram dimms to get them to register. the pci dimms worked right away

what paint did you use?

Update / h2o Part 1

 

for this build im going dual loop. one quad rad for the 5960x and one quad rad for the two Titan X's

 

to push the coolant i went with the trusty d5 pumps and topped them up with OCOOL black acetal pump tops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i'll be using 2 x Coolgate 480 rads. ive been using one for a few years now and its been pretty solid. i only shot one for this group because the other is in use. (dont mind the 360 that was an original plan but since has been changed)

 

 

 

all 8 fans mounted

 

 

 

 

thats it for today!

 

thanks for stopping

do you think I can paint this part of the motherboard?

[U_P_C]

the PCB? i'm sure you can.... but why?

 

tbh i would make a mobo cover as opposed to painting it

Update- Titan X love and EK Water blocks goodness

 

Last night i was able to set up the photo setup and grab some shots of the titan X's and EK water blocks

 

i love the Nvidia packaging on these cards.

 

 

a little quote

 

 

when you slide the top cover off the cards are in an anti staitc bag (removed for photos) and encased in some dense foam

 

 

 

out of the packaging

 

 

 

 

 

 

added little more light for you guys

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now onto the EK blocks.. i've been using ek blocks on my gpu since the good old 8800gtx days!

no, i painted the rear heat sink on the back, not the pcb. that was already black

[cakez]

the PCB? i'm sure you can.... but why?

 

tbh i would make a mobo cover as opposed to painting it

and I'm painting it because my theme is canada which is white and red not black and red so I'm painting the black white and the PCB is black so I need to paint it white,and I really don't like the look of a mobo cover but if that's my only choice I'll do it and by the way can't wait for the build to finish gotta see the sexy finished product

I'm not new to watercooling but I've never used a Aquaero 5 LT or something similar so can you tell me what it does?

tbh i havent either lol. i belive it offers software control for everything hooked up to it. its a fan controller in an nut shell but its also capable of controlling your pumps and all that.

 

i'll be running the 4 sets of 4 fans to it so i can control the speed/loudness.
