Clean for the EK-FB ASUS Crosshair V Block

lets prepare the Board.........

Hi, i was trying to mount the EK Asus Crosshair V Block on the Mainboard and figured out that there is something missing in the EK Kit, the mainboard has Mosfet´s on the backside too and they are covered with plates & Thermal Pads, but in the Kit and also in the Mounting manual it isn´t mentioned in any form, what can i do? i could drill a hole through the Original Asus plate and mess up the thread of it to install the block (would kill any rebuild if board has damage). The screws are also to schort then... and i don´t want to run it without cover......

I will prepare a backplate my own ..... from my view they are not covered only due flimsy heat-pipe cooling system.......

Since I see that you are awesome at modding, I always thought this would be a great R.O.G. case if the orange was red.

NZXT Phantom PHAN-002OR Newegg Exclusive Black Fin...

Edit: That's what I get for only reading the first page. I see you found one and it's a great choice. Can't wait to see your finished build.

I have the white one with red stripes and it is plasticky, but it's easy to work with when you're as unskilled as I am.

im sure ATI had that color scheme before asus didn't

Finally the Anfi-tec Asus Crosshair V Southbridge Waterblock arrived,
now i need to drop it at the nickel plater ,
may i can fetch some pictures of the nickel process there.....

The Guys@Anfi-tec done a great job again, thx !!!
Handcrafted , Made in Germany

here some pic´s of the block':

besides the mounting problems of the EK block, wich will be fix´d on the weekend, the board itself is complete...

Southbridge followups:

whoooops look@this it has "TPU inside"

Radiators are found, i just ordered these 3 Rad´s from Hardware Labs:

1 x Black ICE Radiator GT Xtreme 360 - black / Top
1 x Black ICE Radiator GT Xtreme 280 - black / Front
1 x Black ICE Radiator GT Xtreme 120 - black / Rear


Should arrive on Tuesday......, the Lian Li case should be big enough for them to fit...
for the Case itself, i will rebuild the middle plate where the ssd´s will be mounted, to many wholes already at weird places, and drilling more for smooth cable management makes this looks like s swiss cheese:

*looks really silly

 

[manofthem]

Very awesome! Beautiful build most definitely!!!

For the case i´ll prepare it like this,

From:

To:

pump, res will be placed in the closed area,
mainboard & cpu in upper, gfx in front/bottom

Incomming Parts followup:

Today i received the HW labs Rad´s and the EK CPU Waterblock:

Waterblock & mounting material

Note: if you order the EK Supreme HF CPU WB , there is no need to order the AM2/AM3 "black" mounting plate since it´s included, also a nickel Easy Mount Kit is inside

 

[n0tiert]

Preparing the EK´s CPU Waterblock for Socket AM2/AM3

Adding AM2/AM3 Mounting Plate

Done

If you (un)screw the block do it overcross to avoid leaks, incorrect seat or even breaking the top

Some status news:

Finally found a Distributer who has the Lian Li PC-V2120X-All Black in Stock.
if all goes well it may arrive tomorrow, and i can start to prepare it for the
radiators and fans as shown on the gfx.

To bad that Lian Li has no Sidewindow for that case...
But on the other hand i can create the window more creative
instead a plain quare.

for the pump and res i need to do some measuring , where it will be placed after i added the rads & mainboard to find the perfect spot.....

They are a company in the US that sells all kinds of things, including case parts, pre-modded cases, and a bunch of Lian Li stuff. They may be able to get a side panel for you and mod it with a window.
