Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I am using some aspects of your build for my own build; yours looks very well done. I have a couple questions though:
• why did you use the 360 for the cpu loop and not for the gpus?
• how did the compression fittings work out for you? Hard to install or easy? Can you compare them...
@ cactus: yes, the 240 will be in the bottom front of the case, which i will have to modify to allow air into that part of the case.
@ masteroflostsouls: the 360 will have push only at first, but i plan to add pull when I do my first revision of the setup/wires, also to add a shroud on top of...
