I have effectively the same as you and no waterblocks fit the SB when you have SLi so I would get the second 280 or would not WC the rest.

Just a heads up because I wanted too

 

[davep]

You can water the sb, AF does two different versions for this

1ST Version - Allows 2 Aircooled GPUS Or 2 Watercooled GPUS

2ND Version - Allows 1 Aircooled GPU Or 3 Watercooled GPUS

AF? Whos AF? Me wants me wants me wants

I was gutted when i couldn't WC my 790i, MOSFETs, SB because I've got too much hardware. Sounds like I may have more blocks for my build :yumyum:

damn that looks nice

 

[davep]

[rrjwilson]

You know if i meet you i just might kiss you now for this

 

[Rastalovich]

I`m slowly coming to terms with the greeness >.<

hehe, supprized u went for a striker2 and not a dfi or some1 with more color

Just reckon that once all the extras are slapped on the case, the green will work out fine.

Lovely cases to work with tho.

 

[Acid90]

I was at the top thinking, I'm not keen on this green, my exact words were 'hes gone and butchered a lovely Lian Li' but with the black inside...I think it looks the bees knees. I'll keep an eye on this one!

Good luck!

 

[davep]

So far I have managed to get all the waterblock install expect the NB Block, and install the DVD Drive andHard Drives

Ok Problems

Screws didnt come with AF Striker 2 Extreme NB Block

It looks like I need 3mm screw and spring and maybe a nylon washer with a nut on the back of the mobo?

Picture of the block mounted (not by me of course)

Anyone know where to get it from?

Any one know where to get brackets for a PA120.3, 2CM high (on its side)

If you want some new pictures, look in my photobuket alblum
