Poseidon getting Epic out of the gate

How did you do that?

[snef]

wet sanding with 2000 sand paper and use meguiar car compound polish pasts

no need a lot of sanding just a couple of minutes on each side (GPU and pam block need in and out side)
and polish with compound, this stpes need more time

this guy sont use wet sanding, it work but more easy with water and youy will not fill your sanding paper with residu
i use one strip of sanding paper pof 3" x 8.5" for all my block

Sweet looking blocks snef, wish I had time for details like that.

first phase backplate, little plate on waterblock and power supply
sorry for the pics but I will not bring my camera in my paint booth lolllll





second phase will be , motherboard block, icy dock, cpu block with plastidip

and third and final phase will be , Aquaeroe 5 (plasti dip), reservoir support, fan screw and other little thing with primer and real paint

want to say thanks to gdesmo for providing the red O-rings

Feet are really cool. Block looks great as well. That how EK should have done it from the beginning.

[Father Fuzzy]

Did you just mask around the rubber bottom on the feet?

thanks, i think all build need these feet, and for sur i will always use it

Feet are really cool. Block looks great as well. That how EK should have done it from the beginning.

exactly, what i dont like on EK block is the frost finish, when i saw we can polish it, i change for all Ek block
clear with cricle is better than clean ek block, IMO

great work sir

Thanks FF
nope, paint the whole thing and the rubber bad have just a little gap to be able to remove the plasti-dip on it
i dont mask anything with Plasti-dip, cut and remove is faster
i doing the shield of my Xonar Phoebus and i have a small plexi at top for led, juste remove it and its perfect

[bungwirez]

That how EK should have done it from the beginning.

I know eh. for an extra 5 or 10 minutes of manufacture time... really so much better looking product.
would you up charge for a custom polish version out of the store?

can't wait to see these with some color fluid.

Update:

first
i want to Give a big ***FAIL*** to EK

i tried in 2 diferent case and same thing (caselabs M8 and LD PC-V4)
i cant lock the gpu in PCIe slot because the block on GPU sit on Motherboard water block screw......serious??????? why not use the same screw as the plate on GPU (Flat head screw)

pics


and same thing for the second card lolll


i dont have tools to modify tu use flat head screw

anyway
go to Update
