Motherboard is next. It's pretty well sized. The parts look nice and it sports my colors.
Onto the CPU, and it's 2011 gold contact pads, which I don't blame the camera for not picking up.
Removed the plastic placeholder to reveal the 2011 power pins.
The CPU locked into place.
Had to drive in some screws for the waterblock.
Thermal Paste. I hate this crap. It's just my inexperience talking but spreading this stuff can get messy surprisingly easy. I swear I don't know how it got on my wrists!
The waterblock attached. Going to wait until later to attach the barbs (the fittings that the tubes will fit onto). I decided to go with a full copper/brass material in my loop. All parts that transfer heat are copper, with some threads being brass (because the metal is stronger, it can resist thread ripping). It's convenient that the brass goes well with the red and black.
Alrighty. That wasn't so bad. Next up: The GTX 680.
