Disassembled the accursed demon of diabolical cooler design - also known as 2060 Super Founders Edition, prepping for waterblock tomorrow.
The reference PCB (which this one is technically if it had the 8-pin in the right place) isn't even that bad, the EVGA cards prove that. But Nvidia just couldn't leave it well enough alone.
View attachment 227804
Since I went through the same pain of putting a waterblock on a 2060 Super, I must ask: what do you plan on doing about that 8-pin power connector that is hanging off of the PCB? Pretty much every waterblock available for the 2060S/2070 FE is only as long as the PCB itself. Unless you do some soldering work, that connector will stick out awkwardly.
I installed a Corsair Hydro X Series waterblock on my 2060S. As you can see in the pictures below, the block has a dedicated cutout for the 8-pin in case I wanted to re-solder it directly to the PCB. But the block also has an opening on the end in case I wanted to leave the 8-pin alone. I went with the latter route because I was not comfortable with soldering.
After installing the card in my system, I bent the 8-pin down because it was getting in the way of my reservoir. The end result isn't ideal, but it doesn't look horrible, I guess. I'm curious to see what you do.

It is a rather tricky situation considering that in this config you can't mount a 240mm on the front either with pump/res bracket. I'm pretty surprised by how well it handles your config. The 2700x and 2060 Super don't pull that much power but both combined it's still ~300-330 watts when they are maxed out. Should be around 230-270 watts depending on the game, nice work man!Yes. And it does surprisingly well, considering! During gaming, the GPU sits at around 55 degrees on average. The CPU averages around 70. The water temp stays below 45 degrees at all times.
I would've used a 240mm instead of a 140mm radiator, but I didn't have enough clearance to install one due to my motherboard.

What about 240 rad on front and res on backplate next to MB?
@Rithsom damn, respect! And with the leaky XG7 no less
The Bitspower block is the same length as the FE cooler because it reuses the FE backplate (gorgeous!). The block includes a large spacer that fills the void from the end of the PCB to the end of the card, which has a cutout for the pigtail, and supposedly a locking notch to keep the connector in place.
The chonky Alphacool block also basically has the same accommodations for the pigtail (although it also has the reference cutout so it looks kinda weird). The Bykski block also has a notched cutout to securely hold the pigtail at the end of the card, integrated directly into the plexi on the main block, but no backplate I think.
The Corsair block unfortunately forces you to either hang it off the end of the card, or do this super risky folding maneuver to being it into the reference hole. I am only aware of a single other guy who documented his FE + XG7 experience on the web, you can browse some of his reddit posts showing off the folded over connector:

Ah yes, ye olde threadripper gaming system
With only 144MB cache, are you sure it'll be okay?
You sir, are a legendDo de doo, guess who got a WD AN1500 1TB for free
They overcharged, sent the wrong item three times and after i mentioned that i've been paying interest and fees for all this (and a $300 item that charged $800) they just said "woops, refund and keep item"
Guess i better reboot and see how she goes in an x4 slot first? With a mere 1TB, i may not care about using an x8 slot (which would feed off my GPU)

Got some quick pics for y'all curious about the Bitspower block. The build is back together in the Cerb X now, but not as clean as the CPU-only loop in the Cerb.
When trying to work on the super short res-GPU run, I tore some of the threads out of the res outlet (stainless backplate but the threads are in the acetal body). Not an issue in the end as the fittings still tightened fine and everything is tested air-tight and water-tight - but I reckon the next time I have to strip this rig down and rebuild for whatever reason, probably won't be able to use this res again.

Can't complain about these temps though. Some quick Insurgency Sandstorm, 1440p capped at 120fps. On air would usually be at about 72.5C, 180W, ~1780MHz, same undervolt curve as usual. Under water it hangs around the 40C mark and clocks stay at ~1995MHz.

It auto boosts to 2150Mhz, just because it's at 35C at full load.
