be careful when u tighten fittings in plexi, tiny cracks can very easily occur, if tighten too hard with a plier, or any other tools

Nice blocks, EKWB sure got top notch craftsmanship..

I like the Silver Hex plugs with a rim/groove, short medium and long threads, depending on where they are going..

keep the silver/nickel color theme in the build.. Copper look best with cooper, and nickel with nickel, thats my flavor tho

Just got my 2 k|ngp|n edition vga's and I gotta tell you these cards are blazing fast. I tested them in my new rig the R4BE/4930K and ran Unigine valley in extreme HD benchmark one card at a time the score was 3820 NO OC or sli with cpu, gpu.

In my older rig R4F/3930K @ 4.9 with a gtx 690 oc'ed @ power target @ 100%, gpu offset @ +165, mem offset @ +660 this card in on air my score was 3929. So you can see the k|ngp|n cards really have awesome potential Can't wait to sli these cards & oc them. The new R4BE with 2 k|ngp|n editions cards well all I can say is Oh Yeah..

The 680 was kinda slow cards, especially in heaven, geforce is slightly slower than radeon in that benchmark..

Nice HW man..

If you unlock the Kingpins, how much voltage do you get? 1,5v on the core?

with the secret software..
