Well, before you install them, can you just move one up two spots and measure for me?

Get a pair of koolance 1 slot extensions like i did...They're fully adjustable.

They're like 10$ a piece and very practical....Here's a picture with them installed in one of my GTX580's

I was going to get one but I was too late. All my stuff will be ready monday. I don't mind the uv blue tubing anyways really.

It's mostly for roadhog's setup since the cards will be so close together, so working the fittings and tubing when it's only maybe a little over 1 inch of space is a pain in the ass to begin with..

It's less of an issue in your case since your spacing allows more room to begin with...

**fasedww** · 01-21-12, 06:49 PM

Yeah thats right, I was still thinking at a time about the 2to3 space koolance fiting but didn't do it.

I already have D-plugs I used on my 6970 blocks. I just want to know if I will need to order ones before the fact.

I can settle for the koolance blocks and using 2 more of those extensions, but what i'd really love would be the EK full cover versions and using their waterblock bridge + adapters like this:

Sleek looking to say the least and i'd also add another pump to the VGA loop as there's a fair amount of VGA blocks, fittings and radiators to go thru and using just a single pump for it all..

**fasedww** · 01-22-12, 10:52 AM

Lots of money there too.

Got the koolance blocks on. Now I have to get my corsair AX 1200 watt power supply and the Fancy cables they just come out with to dress up the case a little. These babys are running at 25C right now, run cool. I have installed msi afterburner and ran them at 1125Mhz core and 1450 memory no problem. 3dmark 11 was 16,450 Damn these babys run alot faster than the 6970's I had in here in crossfire.

I got to find a better place for my ssd's, soon as I get the new cables for the AX1200.
