    You'll want to cool the main chip, that one in your last picture, each of the 7 RAM chips on the front, and preferably all the similar RAM chips on the back, though I imagine those aren't strictly necessary because the full-coverage block that I got for mine doesn't come with coverage for the back chips by default.

    IDK, I'm not sure what it is, but I wouldn't feel safe with that. It looks important, and even has mounting holes, which to me says that it needs a proper heatsink. Maybe use an aftermarket NB HSF or get a small universal GPU block for it?

    That should do nicely for the VRAM chips.

    Mwa haha... after weeks of toil and troubles... new pics!

    All the tubing removed and the prep work complete, fittings are replaced









    there was a slight change, my friend had to give me a 45* rotary fitting and i used another 90* fitting to make it work






    lol this reminds me of bioshock.

































    The tubing looks amazing, i didnt know that it had that pattern when i bought it, but i LOVE it. the next challenge i need to tackle is the cable mob on the bottom... but thats for another update
