They should fit as stock. Otherwise you may need the G80 adapter plate but I am pretty sure you only needed it for the 8800GTX. Perhaps the XFX XXX card doesn't use a reference design.

yea it came with the g80 adapter plate but ugh...if im going to just take a picture i might as well update heres some pics ill update my other worklog aswell if anyone checks that one
heres one of thecard with the g80 plate on
heres one still has the plate on but you can see the holes for the block
heres all the parts on the floor
heres one of my Beautiful 700watt modular Kingwin powersupply
OK so the G80 plate is too big, by the looks of things. Can we get a pic without any plate on the GPU, just the naked card. The holes should line up with the stock plate. Nice PSU BTW.
yea i know its a wicked psu, anyways heres the pic
I would have thought the stock plate would have fit. How far out is it? You may just have to drill the holes out a bit.
pretty far but i think i might have figured something out hopefully it works
ok my hunch was right and i got the block on the card
Do you think that is wise though? Those 4 holes hold the block together, you may not get a perfect seal now. And you mounted the block backwards lol.
yea i know, thats why im mounting it tight and also D'oh, doesnt matter anyways as i am putting themal paste on right now
rofl i saw it and was like "is that upside down or am i retarded"
lol oh well you were testing us hey *wink wink*
I added your header, there is an alternative posted in the "Custom Headers Request" thread if you like the diff colors.
Thank you looks Great!
big update tomarrow as mystuff is finally coming, was shipped out today, she upgraded it to fedex priority then gave me a shipping refund
nice overnight ...FREE???... shipping
Nice mate, can't wait to see what you got.
Well wait no longer its here individual photos
My dual bay res
my 16 feet of tubing...oops
2 liters of black feser one
a fillport
my cpu and northbridge waterblocks
pump
and rad
so i drilled the fillport hole, that came out nicely then i went to drill the holes for the rad and wore the teeth on the hole saw bit down to nothing, it heated up so much that it peeled the paint around the hole, need to get another bit before i can continue
You might want to be careful with the black feser one. From reading at some w/c sites it is really thick and can cause problems. google it and double check but it think most people run 50% feser, 50% distilled and <5% biocide.
Nice new gear.
kool new stuff this will be good once completed
Small update: i have done what i can without my motherboard, speaking of i just got n email saying the folks at xfx have recieved it and is being tested .
top of the case
front with res
side with unfinished tubing and installed pump
Please comment
By the looks of things your loop is going:
res-pump-rad correct?
It would be more efficient for the loop to go:
res-pump-cpu-gpu/s-rad-res
true but ive read that the pump can create friction which creates heat so i want the liquid to be as cool as possible
With that pump the coolant will be flowing fast enough not to pick up the excess heat created by the pump. Even if the pump creates heat it would be so minute that you wouldn't see much change in the temps anyway. Having the rad before the res means the res will be getting cooled liquid, you don't want to add un-cooled liquid to the res because that would be worse for the temps anyway.
hmmm...you have a good point i shall see what i can do after i get my motherboard back
listen to him mate he lives watercooling :)
looks sweet
Spawn inc would be able to shed some light on this situation also.
Finally, xfx has sent me a new motherboard that should be here next thursday, on that day i will install everything and complete my first worklog :devious::banana:
Awesome news.
I know,finally ill get to game again, the comp im using right now is my backups backup, it is the basic model and it is SLOW. I cant wait
I decided not to spend any money on the rad grill so i got creative
some nice mesh
cut to fit
with some tubing so i dont scrape myself on it and painted black
Nice work on the grill.
looks cool nice work
Thanks! I just cant wait for my motherboard to come in
Its DONE...
the motherboard arrived today as planned
so i put the blocks on
heres a pic of it assemled
heres one of the nice black back
another with the rad and fillport
and finally of the front (crappy camera wouldnt turn off flash so you cant see it but the blue of the power supply shines through the res, its really nice)
thank you for following along hope to see you again next mod
Looks great, the black paint is look great! Aren't you going to do some cable management though? Also, how about some temps on the watercooling setup?
-Indybird
The mobo finally gets there lol. Yeah some cable management is a must. I cut some holes in my LEXA's mobo tray for some extra flexibility.
Yea im going to work on some cable managment today, im unsure about my temps however as i still need to hook up the sensors
nice work on it, though cable management is a bitch. can you take some pics with the fuild in the loops and res, curious to see it.
yea, i would love to take some pics but the unfortunate truth is the computer doesnt like me, it never started up fully and when i went to restart it wouldnt start up, plus it turns out i had a small drip in between the rad and the res the rads tube wasnt on tight. So ill take some pics when i get the comp up and running its goin to get fixed by professionals as i am fed up with it right now
