All done now!
Not quite as messy as before but still room for improvement still im not as obsessed as some with the cable management stuff!
You cant really see the Noctua fans in the bottom under normal light the flash shows them wp when photo'd

Idle screen shot
and burn test!!
80 degress is pretty high for water cooling I admit but its not that bad for 8 threads of prime 95 and Fur Mark at the same time! GPU temps are fine and everything is stable. In Reality the CPU wont get this hot in use and I still think I can drop the CPU voltage a few notches and keep stability... just have to find some time to have a play

This is a really nice motherboard, its good to see the ide was dumped and all expansion slots be pcix, if gigabyte bring 1 out like this I will want it for my next rig.
Bad temps thou, but yeah real world apps don't try to kill your gear like stress test apps do
and if it is all nice and stable while running prime and fur mark at the same time then that is definately good.
Gigabyte is my personal favourite motherboard manufaturer even thou they don't have an official forum, every gigabyte board I have had has been great all round, with asus boards I have some sort of problem with every asus board I have owned which is strange considering the price of them.

played around with it a bit... upped the BLCK to 191, dropped the voltage a few notches and turned off Hyper Threading (HT) now runs 3-5 degrees hotter at idle but 10 - 15 degrees cooler under load!
running Furmark at the same time does not affect the CPU only warms up the GPU aswell!

For those of you that are wondering what the Overclockers EK waterblock and backplate pre fitted gtx 480's look like installed, stay tuned for an updated build log with one installed in my system (and I have tidied up the tubing a lot with new 1/2 tubing and new shiny compression fittings) My 480 is the nickel plated one (inc backplate) and looks great I think. Pics to follow this week coming....
Pllleaaseee remove the wiro-bound stuff from the tubing, looks so 2007.
Other than that, love it! Lovely work.
Word on that.
and try and hide those wires.

Aesthetically, it's a shame the board has brownish PCB
And it'd look a lot better with a bit of cable management, for example; running cables behind the motherboard tray.
Other than that, sweet case
