Nice to see someone get a res in there justcme!
theASMRnerd, I've got a 140mm rad and a GTX670 in mine and the PCB clears the fan by about 1mm (my Rad is 60mm thick though). You would have to compare the PCB lengths of the 670 and the 780. My build is on page 53 of this thread if you want...
I'm running the EK Clear Coolant. Didn't want to take any risks with the nickel plated block, Great so far and my tubing is staying nice clear (Primochill Advanced LRT).
Thats what I did! Did the shrinking with short bursts of a lighter and didn't go too close to the switches because it is concealed by the plastic case anyway. It was pretty sketchy with the lighter though.
How far off completion is Lori WiSK?
I couldn't use the existing holes because the rad has to be shifted slightly towards the mobo tray for the ODD tray to fit. It is only a few mm but it makes all the difference!
You will definitely have to drill new holes for the rad :)
I'm not using a filter. It wouldn't fit. I tend to hit my pc with a compressor/compressed air once a month anyway.
Sorry that bit about the part from EK was a bit confusing. It is a standard part but they don't usually sell them separately. The FC Link comes with every CSQ block but I needed a second one to make that bend.
What I had one of but needed a second:

Hi WiSK,
A lot of the ideas in my build came from your Lori Lemaris build log. So thanks! It helped alot.
It is definitely possible there is still some air in there. I have only had it running for 48hrs. I think i'll leave it a max pump speed overnight.
My fans are running at 70% with the...
I'm sure the pump does add some heat. Hard to measure though. The two noiseblockers should turn over the full volume of the case in under a second even if they are only pushing half their specified CFM's so I am pretty sure the pump has plenty of airflow. It is also directly in the flow path of...
Thanks! The PSU with the multiframe on it is basically silent (I removed the stock fan). I had a few other things running at the same time as when I was gaming (bitdefender, google play music uploader, chrome) which could explain why the CPU peaked so high.
Doing an Intel stress test + Heaven...
