ROG + EKWB + Lian-li

So I got round to fitting this last night. Here's some pics.

Get your shit together. You need the smallest socket known to man. 4mm.

Remove what seemed like a hundred of the world's smallest screws and set the stock backplate free.

Remove that silly 2 slot bracket.

Next step is to grab that 4mm socket and remove all of them attaching the stock cooler.

Bingo. Pulling the stock cooler off the PCB is a bit scary. Man up.

Next set of tools. Ear buds, make up things you can steal from your missus and a can of my good friend electronic cleaner.

Stock paste was OK...

Shiny. Don't forget to clean the vrms etc as we want our new thermal pads to stick nicely.

Apply thermal pads with the utmost ocd.

Curse as you have to peel off all the blue backings. I hate this part.

Grab your TIM of choice, this is mine. Do the thing.

Grab your back plate and apply more thermal pads.

You have successfully installed your 1080ti block. Have a victory beverage.

Another post to show it worked [emoji23]

Super snug fit against the mobo armor. Thought it wouldnt fit for a second.

It's alive! Haven't seen above 40 degrees on the GPU.

Sleek AF!
Always a shame that the prettiest part is showing downwards. Hate that so much
 
While it is uber sexy - and them loops make me moist.
I see no assistant ! (i wish i could mod like you guys can )
 
Damn that looks good!! Some people just have it in them! Good work [MENTION=36444]TheFilthy[/MENTION]:D

This thread was brought to you by EKWB, in association with Red Bull. xD But seriously, gorgeous build.
 
Soooo, once again im going to tear this build down. This time i plan on redoing the loop routing, want to try a parallel setup for a bit, i think it could look a lot cleaner than it does currently. Ill take pics of the process as always but if anyone wants any pics of something in particular let me know.
 
Seems like ppl always have issues with their routing options of the piping. Hoping to have my watercooling fittings in the next month then I will also play around with the angles.

No issues, just feel like a visual change :) apparently its as good as a holiday...
 
Ahhh i see, well I will only be using 90degree fittings. So no bending of tubing for me...
 
So I'm bad at maths and was two fittings short of doing the parallel setup. [emoji52] next time. In the meantime I put in a 120 rad in the rear to tame the ti, puts out more heat than the previous 1080 by quite a bit. Temps have dropped a decent amount, loop is happy again [emoji1303] also I somehow feel better by having at least some rad between components even though I know it really makes little difference.
