RIVE mb connector recommendations

Hi All,

I'm looking for some rigid fittings to connect an EK southbridge, CPU (EK supreme) and MOSFET blocks to each other. I have seen some good photos of rigid fittings which mean it's a really tidy finish. Has anyone got any recommendations or successfully built a loop on this board using fixed length fittings?
Thanks

I used Koolance blocks/connectors for my RIVE 3930 build. It does make a really neat job of connecting everything together.

Thanks for the replies, David that's exactly what I'm after. Please can you let me know what parts you used?

I used the following on mine (RIVE/3930K) all Koolance :

RIVE MB Blocks MB-ASR4E
CPU Block CPU-370 1.1
90° *Black* Swiveling Elbow NZL-LXG1-BK
Dual VID Connector, *Black* Adjustable 1 Slot Spacing CNT-VDA2-BK
Dual VID Connector, *Black* Adjustable 2-3 Slot Spacing CNT-VDA34-BK

The 1 slot spacing fitting is sat on the Max line for it's extension but is OK, the 2-3 slot is almost fully closed. You need to make sure that the tops of the blocks you are joining are the same height (the Koolances all match) otherwise you'll need some spacer fittings if you can get some in a small enough size.
