It was alittle bit shaky to remove this heatsinks, because even tought I had removed the plastic clips that hold it in place, the heatsinks was stuck to the CPU hard, and I dident know how much force I could put on it or if there was something else holding it together. | |

But it was the cooling paste that hold it so tight. | |

The hose I got was alittle to large so I had to use some tools to screw on the nipples that hold them in place. Thats why I conected everything first and then put them in place. | |

The waterblockes I got was: CPU block: INNOVACOOL V3 WATERCOOLER Chipset & Graphics card: INNOVAGRAPH-O-MATIC VGA/NB |

Removed the backplate of the Chieftec case and let the powersupply rest on the bottom plate inside the case. Then the radiator fits perfectly ontop, and I dont need to make some new holes in the case side. Radiator: INNOVARADI SINGLE 120 Fan: PAPST FAN 120CM 26dB |
