I found the same thing with my PCIE cover. I just am running without it.

I think it was the I/O shield that fit strangely. Since I already had my mind made up about swapping blocks, I didn't investigate too much. The backplate always fit strangely with that block for me though. It was a B-Stock block that had 3090 branding on it, so maybe that had something to do...

Just my personal experience, but the backplate on my Bykski 3080 FE block did not fit quite right. I was planning on replacing that block though, so no sweat for me.

Yeah, I think it got torn off when I was putting it in/removing it repeatedly while building/planning the loop. I did read that too and tried to be careful while pulling it out of the packaging. Which, by the way, is fantastic. The presentation is so good.

Speaking of power buttons. Did anyone else have the wires come off on their power button? Not a big deal, I just soldered it back on, but it seems like it may be a good idea to put some heat shrink around that solder joint in the future. At least that is what I did with mine. Maybe I was a...

Ooh. Maybe is should do that With the pump. That would simplify stuff a lot. Thanks for the tip. And yes. I agree. the M2426 is amazing

I am super impressed with your cable management @mxj1. I am getting that that stage of the build and have all but given up. There is a huge mess between my PSU and pump..... Also, my ddc that I was going to use was dead when I tried to test the integrity of the loop. :(

Did you shave down the power plug at all to get those 90s to fit on the bottom? Mine is super tight.

Is that this one? https://www.performance-pcs.com/water-cooling/radiators/black-ice-nemesis-240gts-xflow-ultra-stealth-cross-flow-low-profile-black-carbon-radiator-n240gts-f1pb.html

Bummer. One of my GTS 280s fit with minimal tweaking, the other just was a bit to tight for my liking. I was able to squeeze it in there, but I didn't like the fit. I will probably just run with the 1 Corsair and 1 GTS 280

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does L series mean?

Just a point of data for anyone else who is watercooling with 280s. I was having a very hard time fitting 2 HWL GTS 280mms in there. The ends of the radiators were touching/pushing against the side panels (probably had something to do with the tolerances I have seen WinterCharm talk about). I...

I think I am beginning to come to the same conclusion. The loop is greatly simplified with a different order

Thanks for the help! The way I am thinking about it is as follows. I must still be missing something: CPU Side: Bottom rad port (on CPU side) to CPU in, CPU out across spine to GPU in GPU Side: GPU Out to top rad port ( on GPU side), top rad port (on CPU side) through pump to bottom rad...

Sorry for the questions, not sure if I am understanding correctly. Do I need to go across the spine two times?
