You can get the threaded EK-FC Link Radeon G1/4 for the DC2 block so that your I/O are on the side , then add 2 90° fittings. Thats what i did on my card, made things alot easier and didnt ruin the look.

PS : How are your overclocking possibilities on the GPU ? Is it voltage locked ?

It's the HD 7970; I see no reason to suspect it was voltage locked. However, I never sat down to play around with the overclocking because I was using a single 240mm rad to cool a 2500k + Asus DCII HD 7970, which uses two 8pin connectors...

That said, I don't like EK's links in general, and the reason for how the loop turned out was hugely because I felt that was going to provide a cleaner look than going from GPU to CPU directly. If I really wanted to I could've just added 90 degree fittings after all.

Thanks for feedback though.

Great looking build . The 650D is the case I want to use also.

I was asking about overclocking and voltages because my DC2T's are voltage locked. (cant go above 1181mv and max stable OC is 1150MHz)
Most ref. Cards can do better so i'm pretty disapointed !
No software overclocking ability , just on a hardware level using the "Hotwire" function which means soldering wires and shorting the resistance PR188.(not covered by warranty aswell)
For Hotwire you need an Asus RIVE or a Maximus V Extreme which are the only boards compatible, since i dont have these mobos i'm screwed !
Nuff said , im never buying an Asus Gpu again !

Thanks for kind words, Mark.

But what do you mean, FTR? Doesn't Afterburner allow overclocking with the graphics card set to overclocking mode 2 or whatever it was?

And just to check, you're not talking about the GTX 680 variant, right?
