Never dobe hdd before. If ya got money to blow go for it but I doubt it's usefull unless it's a server or something where the hard drives are taxed a lot for long periods at a time.

Its not a server drives, just drives in my case.

Save money or buy good ssd or M2 ssd ;)

I have both... maybe better to buy another ssd then 1tb or bigger

Here's what I blew hours (2 days total) and another trip to the local microcenter for more fittings for.

I needed to connect both large EK-CoolStream XE 360 (60mm thick) rads together at the bottom of the case and I wanted a drain port there as well and the fittings giving me the ability to lift the bottom rad so I can clean themail of dust in the future. Not a small task but damn did I get lucky! The 45 fittings rotate so I can easily lift the rad to get to the under side. Also the fans are not screwed on to the rad. The fans are attached to the removable fan mount on the underside. Super lucky.. and it was a total hail Mary for those fittings to line up and work.

Now to remove everything to vacuum out the 2 years worth of dust and do a quick rinse of the rads and reinstall and get to adding the new hardware and lines.

Note: my case is a thermaltake core x9. Would love a reason to stack 2 but can't justify it. :/

Here's some quick pics of the ek 780 classy block mounted on the 1080 classified.

Forum is ruff.. Won't let me add more then one pic per post. Downsizing suxs.

Backside with block.

I will try to put 1080 classy backplate together with ekwb. I have some extra screws from some previous ekwblocks.
