You should have told me you were going to buy the blocks as i could have got you some direct from AC and saved a few dollars. I only ordererd yesterday arvo also

Rig looks good though, can't wait for the blocks to be installed and see what it looks like

one of many reason i bought it is cause i saw it on ur build.
i've been watching the videos on how to remove and install em.

The Aquapc video show's him putting Thermal Grease on the GPU and rams, then he used the thermal pad on the VRM's only.

Is this what you did? I was just gonna thermal pad the whole thing.

Fast Forward to 1:43 to see what i mean

Also watch his razor blade method of applying, but he just blobs it on the ram.

ill probably do the same, i remember my bro killed an old video card once buy using thermal grease on the ram, but i think the thermal crease was one of those conductive ones with metal particles in em.

I will use Noctua NHT-1

I'm going to go as far as to suspect that he doesn't have a misses and neither do you. You may be happy to live off 2 minutes noodles for a week but I think you would be very hard pressed to find any woman alive who would be happy to live off 2 minute noodles for a week so you can have some water cooling parts for your PC.

I happen to be very hard and pressed to an alive woman who shares my enthusiasm with watercooling parts for my PC and would be happy living on 2 minute noodles for only a week to fulfil my fantasies......
