That reservoir mount is very cool.

I love that res mount. Always been a big fan of those xspc reservoirs

Are those ancient gentle typhoons I spy in there?

They are. Still IMO the best 120mm fan. But I am not using them. 3x120mm rad wouldn't fit.



Forgot I had an HWLabs SR1 2x140mm on the shelf. Compared to the Magicool.


Love the fit and finish of HWLabs


And in the case.


The finish from the 'EZ Liner' bedspray. This stuff truely is the best PC modding spray paint.

This stuff? https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/ez-liner-aerosol-coating-467-g-0475608p.html

Thinking I'll respray that Coolgate 420mm I got off you in the spring as that looks pretty nice on the rads too.

Thanks, I am thinking I will do my swiftech mcr320 with it, that rad/s looks great lowfat

Yes. It is durable. Sands fantastic (good as a filler for 3d printed parts). Great texture. Sprays on well. Dries to the touch within minutes (even @ -20c). And strangely smells amazing .

Need to get both blocks on to see if the inlets / outlets match up. So I know if I need to order more fittings or not. If you read my rant post you'll know it was a nightmare to install it. Zero instructions, 20+ useless screws. But I got the first block mounted. And even no PCB bowing like it absolutely would have done otherwise. GPU has pretty good mounting pressure. Not a ton of mem and VRMs tho.



Why is Geforce in the middle then RTX in the corner ? And there is a 3mm space between the backplate and card, why? Still added some thermal pads to see if I can get the backplate to help w/ mem cooling.


And the block is too fat. Every block I've ever used before was a single slot. So I just assumed these were as well. Will have to reinstall the slim rad again.

why aren't you using the top pcie slot? sounds like a typical china block install.

If I am reading the OP correctly, I think the 3080 is going in the top slot. That would by my guess anyway.
