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.
Now I want to change the gpu waterblock retention screws :
I want to use a single bracket instead of the double, take apart the springs and cover the screws with some black tubing, now I like it more!
I forgot to order some ram heatsink, but I have on my desk this :
Let's cut it...
But I need to take a closer look at the height, because the straight water connector can touch the motherboard plate...
To gain some millimeters I've decided to take apart the Ma.Er. screw support :
Without this little piece of alu I've gained 2cm of space, not bad!
At this time, this...
It was a long time that I don't update this thread...
Sorry guys, but real world stuff hit me...
Now I'm near the end of this modding, do you want to follow me again?
The motherboard was dead, so here is a new mobo and the liquid loop on the table :
At this time, I need to take out...
Long time is passed...
In the maentime I've maged to go to G69T home to see the Dark Blade and talk about modding ...
He is showing an extra piece of the tak "fins" on the side :
And then he gave me like a gift :-)
I'm a little bit happy :
Really cool mod, and really cool...
The keyboard is ready, I hope to find some free time and to have back all my data (I forgot to backup the last week, 130 pics, and the laptop hd seems to be gone...).
Please, be patient with me...
Really tnx!
Today the white, red and green neon must arrive, yesterday I picked up a dvd burner (SATA) and some goodies (aka alluminium profile) next days I manage to do something in this crammed case :-)
Stay tuned brothers :-)
I0ve managed to find some extra space, and I've found it :-)
Yes, G69T give me an extra piece of this creature, if I can I post some pics...
At this time, the cabe is now open on my table, to add something inside, but the main pc that I use to update the worklog, a old laptop, is near to...

Remember, this is not the end of the mod , it's only the end of the mod to show it at SMAU, after that I have in mind to change something...
Well, more...
Last works, I need something to help me to fill the loop :
This is a Thermaltake spare parts from my bin, it's an adaptor from 6mm to 9mm, this is what I was looking at! I hold it in place using a o-ring joined to a spring.
Now let's plug all the mess : usb, power, reset, led, backy and...
Now it's time to put the lcd panel in place :
It fit ok, but I need to polish it!
First, a quick use of CFG, high grit polish :
Then a long use of Iosso :-)
After the last use of Iosso with my banchdrill, I've used some cotton by hand, here is the result :
Not so bad, but...
After a good cleaning of the surface, I'm ready to stick it, but I need some ingredients :
Xacto knife, spatula and soapy water :
A big amount of soapy water :
Placing the sticker :
Now with the help of the soapy water you can place the sticker in the place that you like...
First test :
Not perfect, but it can go well...
Now let's take some more measure with the lcd display :
Now let's cut with the electric saw :
More work with the file, but I'm on the right way :-)
Now it's the sponsor time!
I would like to say a big tnx to every sponsor...
Everything is finished now, but only the first step...
:-)
Last week I was on holiday, so I pick up my wife and the dog and went in Trentino.
Beatiful landscape, beautiful people and good food :-)
We have even the opportunity to meet one of my idols, G69T, and the opportunity to take a look...
Now that I show to all that the Liquid CaBe is possible, and it's real, let's tale a closer look at the flow of the water in the res :
Ok, it works well! Now, I've told to someone that I want a lcd display inside this case... I've choosen a little one :
Alphacool, graphic lcd...
Let's place some tubing :
Mosfet :
And more tubing :
It's like a jungle inside here!
Going on with tubing :
Now the last piece of tube is the main tube, the one that go from the pump to the top mosfet block, but I want to do a test to see if the pump can work with...
