    All that's left is the hot rod to drive it around in...

    Seriously, it looks great! Can't wait to see the detail shots.

    Did you use a heatgun to remove factory heatspreaders from your RAM? Any advice for doing this successfully when a strong adhesive sits on very fragile, easily damaged (high-density FBGA) chips?

    Didn't use a heat gun. Check my earlier post here.

    Ah, thanx, sir. Still looks a little scary, lol, my RAM wasn't cheap. But no guts no glory (no warranty), right?

    I think I'll combine your pull-both-sides-at-once approach with my heatgun-clamped-to-something approach and the usual patiently-gentle-but-unwaveringly-firm and just hope for the best. Just can't find any sort of performance DDR4 these days without some awful gamer-styled garish heatspreader - I guess as long as people keep buying them manufacturers will keep gluing them on.

    I really like the classy elegant look (and low profile) of your EK Monarchs, btw, regardless of their watercooling functionality. I might get some just for looks (no watercooling in my rig) since I already have to remove big heatspreaders from 3 DIMMs to get my beastly TISIS air cooler onto the processor.

    I wonder what it is about the Cosmos case which inspires so many sport muscle-car automotive themes?

    Sorry for the long wait, but here are the final pics. Enjoy!














































    Of course I would never have been able to build such an amazing case without the help of these amazing people..





    Thanks everyone!

    Stunning! I really love the fluid distribution block. Awesome way to clean up the lines.
