(postbody)	Day 1 \| Day 2 \| Day 3 \| Day 4 \| Day 5 \| Day 6 \| Day 7 \| Raw Pics Day 5 - EK-FC260 and GTX260 Rendezvous Today is day 5. I received the Water block for the video card today, so I am going right to work and put the block on. Here is a little introduction into the block. GPU WC Block: EK Waterblocks EK-FC260 GTX (55nm G200b) Going to work right wawy. I remove the aircooler from the GTX260: Pretty thigh application. Moving on to clean up and expose the core. I use ArctiClean from ArticSilver to clean blocks. From the site: ArctiClean is a two-step cleaning process that removes existing thermal grease or pads and prepares the thermal surface for a fresh application of thermal interface material. I use some of EK's Thermal pads for reaplication. EK Replacement Liquid Block Thermal Pad (52mm x 35mm) The pad is one large piece, so you have/ can cut it down to the size you need. The pad is also protected by foil from both sides. I recommend to cut the pieces first before you remove the foil. Once that is done you can remove the first side of the foil and apply the pads to the mosfet's, once the are all seated, take pen or pick and peal off the now exposed remaining foild. Now I applied the rest of the Thermal compound. I used Arctic Cooling MX-2 for Thermal compound. Adding the block to the card. I seat it first and line up all off the screw holes, then I turn it like an omlette and fasten the screws. This block fits perfectly. I prefer full cover blocks because it includdes active cooling for the memory modules and mosfet chips. I would have preffered an acetal cover but they were not in stock and it probably would have taken awhile for them to be available. This is a nice touch too. EK is doing a very nice job in building these blocks. Day 5 comes to an end.	News / Headlines Loading... Folding / Crunching (bannerright)
