It didn't disappoint. GTX 680 in all it's glory. Well, time to take it apart!
GTX 680 with the heat sink removed. All those screws were annoying, nothing could possibly go wrong now!
The waterblock and it's full copper-ness.
Okay, that was a pain in the ass. Thermal compound is annoying enough to work with... but with thermal pads it's even worse. I ended up cutting them wrong and the job was way too sloppy. It'll work for a bit, but I ordered some replacement pads and I'll be replacing them with the backplate once it arrives (accidentally shipped it to Minnesota). I intended to put it in later, but I suppose this is the part to do-over since I'll be working on it later. No big.
Thar she be. Attached. Onto the water cooling loop.
