So, I had already built an X99 Micro 2 build with 980ti's but never got around to posting it. I ended up giving it to my oldest son and have been playing on my Z97 as of late. My #2 son decided to go all out and do an identical build and I decided to match it. 
 
After some thought and consideration I have decided to rename the rigs. As we all know Wrinvert passed a few weeks back and he was a good friend of mine. He is also the first one to welcome me to the EVGA community as well as teach me the wonders of water cooling. So in his honor my rig will be named after him and the boy will pick his own name out. From here on out my rig will be called Wrinvert.

It's weird, ordered these the same day as I ordered the video cards (from the egg) and these came in first... From EK, in Slovenia. The pumps and radiators which I had to end up ordering from EK as well will also be here tomorrow (the same day as the video cards).

Waiting can be the worst part of the build; you have to hope it all arrives on time in one piece.
 
Looking forward to more updates

It will be a very nice build when you're done. I think I see it maybe... UV green Primochill tube? There couldn't be a better tribute man. Enjoy your build, Will be waiting for updates. Lucky kids BTW...

Ty sir, started putting the other board together and ran into a wee little problem. Will have to modify the bolts on the waterblock itself to get it to work on the mobo. But Cards, rads and res will be here tomorrow and I will be posting updates.
