Next week i will be adding a RAM block to my current loop which has a Supremacy block and a Crosshair V Formula Z block. Because there will be so many blocks in such a small space, i would prefer to use crystal links and 90 degree fittings to connect the blocks. My problem is that the motherboard block, CPU block and RAM block are not level, to get around this i would need to use spacers.
My question is what would i need in terms of which and how many spacers?
My blocks are all EK waterblocks and you can assume that most motherboard EK blocks are the same height as each other. I know the best method would be to take out my motherboard, measure, try some spacers and to repeat. This process would be significantly sped up if someone with a MOBO/CPU/RAM EK waterblock set up, who also uses crystal links, would tell me which spacers worked for them or to post a picture of their set up, this way i know a good place to start in terms of ordering spacers to try out. I also have never used crystal link before, can i use them with 10-13mm EK compression fittings or do i need specific fittings?
Also am wondering about fitting a Phobya Xtreme 200mm version 2 radiator in my 650D case. Rather than starting a new thread, ill edit this one since itl just go in the same forum section anyway. I have seen many posts in the past about people struggling to fit the radiator to the 650D because the holes don't line up with the radiator. I would like to eventually expand my loop and once again include my GPU and maybe go Xfire, for this i need this radiator. I was wondering if anyone has got it to mount without any modifications to the case? I think worse comes to worse, i will use super strong Velcro strips to mount it to the front of the case but, i would rather it be screwed in. Anyone have any experience with the phobya Xtreme 200mm radiator (version 1 or 2) and the Corsair 650D case?
