Info: These are two new in box EKWB blocks built for the ASUS 1070/1080 STRIX line of cards. These will fit on all four versions of the cards but not the Ti as it has a different PCB configuration. They were bought with the intent to use on two 1070's, but were never...
they're HTD Level 3's with upgraded crossovers. They're powered by a Onkyo Tx-Sr702 and are setup with an AV-123 X-sub, B&W CC6 (center), and a crappy pair of polk R50's for rears (not in picture).
I eventually intend to upgrade to a true pre-amp+amp and a pair of RBH 661-SE's for the fronts...
In my experience it's best not to put the two right next to each other in the series. The one time I tried it ended up burning out the one second in the line. My advice is to put the second pump midway through the line or at least one waterblock/res/rad later.
Should I feel odd that I'm not experiencing a single problem mentioned here? No buzzing, no banding (save in fear on high res), and no lighting issues. Was I just lucky?

Truthfully, I just got the 2185 and I've got to say it's one of the better monitors I've ever used. No ghosting, a very tiny amount of bleed at the corners, great refresh rate for an LCD, and of course the...
jesus...that's just a shade higher than double what I pay here. 8.5%
On topic: Don't know what to think of this, I've always thought bigger was better, and my 2005's never let me down...but I just don't think I could sink 2k into something from Dell, no matter the size.
Wives tale eh? I suggest you take a look at mashie's Y2K Bug log...you'll see just how much of a myth it is.

though i will say that it was less the air pressure that caused it...and...
Look up TN's work log and you'll see just how much she dislikes AC... :p
I think you'll find though that your tubing diameter would be a problem when using any AC product, which is most likely the reason why TN said "Forget it.".
I've had nothing but trouble with compression fittings, but I will go out and say that every push-fit I've ever used worked well, as long as you remember to push the tube ALL THE WAY IN.
Barbs and clamps are the old standby, and if you didn't want to spend the money on push fits they are the...
The EK stuff I listed up there is all sized for 3/8's and up, you can also find some from mips http://mips-computer.de/index.htm
Which I've heard tell are very good.
Is it sad that I can actually tell who is doing the mod on a case simply because of their technique with bondo? I didn't even bother checking who the OP was and just seeing the first few pictures instantly guessed it was Defyant.
I spead it on the heatsink (or in my case waterblock) in the exact shape* that it's going to take on the cpu. never had anything but good results.
* To attain this I make a paper tape outline on the heatsink/block and spread like mad, then I can just take the tape off and it's perfect.

there are a few more, just don't have the links handy
nope they don't, but there are still a lot of kits out there with retailers.
Such as this one:

lol, that's defyant.
as for making you're own, i don't believe there are any good tutorials out there, though if this stays on the front page long enough someone will probably write one up for you.
That's exactly what I envisioned it would look like when I read that it would be built by innovatek. Not bad looking at all, though I think they would've done better with more red than black. just my .02
Welp...just got my x850xt pe in....guess i was right by thinking that i would need a better cpu when i bought it. anyways, here's my 3d03 score:
