Looks like you watercooled the cpu and both video cards. But I'm an i7 860 user. Are you cooling a northbridge or a southbridge? Or is it an AMD thing?

Full board.

Northbridge, southbridge, mosfet, nf200 controller.

I am a 980X user.
Which is why i told the OP dont let his boss see my computer.

EVGA really needs a BIOS update from 49 to fix compatibility issues with Gulftwown. Sigh

Looks good am big in to water my self I think I have the same reservoir as you but I don't have new pics. My boss knew that I liked water cooling and asked me about it I told him no way for his work computer to many risks in the long run and not worth the stress for me lol.

Wow, I never really seen a water cooled board before...it looks cool. How much time does it take to put all that on? Also have you ever seen leaks doing this?

the entire system? or the waterblock?

A complete rebuild can take up to a week, im gonna be doing it soon.
The blocks about 15-30 min. Depending on how many screws there are.

And yes ive leaked a lot of times from stupid mistakes, or rushing.
And ive killed, and havent killed hardware from it too.

It really depends on your luck, but when you leak, its nothing to freak out about, unless it was a long term leak, and started shorting something out.

Same here had a couple leaks but it's always from me being in a rush.
