So I built my water loop a couple months ago, and then Mxphenom had his 680 with an EK block for sale and I couldn't resist; Here's a couple pictures of the card with block. Installed the backplate on it today, can't wait for the fittings to get here so I can add it to the loop. There will be updates and more pictures to come!
The top side with the backplate. I think it looks pretty good. One minor issue tho, the screws that were with it were too small for the threads, and the other screws that were already in it, the heads were too big to go into the countersink on the backplate so they didn't even reach the threads. So I took a grinder to em, lol. Made the screw heads small enough to fit in the countersinks. There are only 9 tho it didn't take long.
And Here's the current setup. I think I'm gonna single sleeve all the cables soon. I really hate seeing ugly cables, and it looks very doable. But thats for later...
In real life, all the reds don't really look different; looks terrible in the picture
