Yea, im using IE. Well at least you can see them. I am the only one who can't see my own pics. LOL.

@Nate: Yes separate blocks are definitely simpler...but one block looks so much nicer. About the pic, do you mean the pic of just the board? If so, here it is:

I dread my 295 RMA policy.  I just hope they have a dual board laying around, or my benching takes a sabattical until the 300's come around.  I guess in the meantime I can chase the single card 31K mark?

That is one sexy board.  either your making acrylic bridges, or using tubes to bridge it.  not impossible, but I need a picture of a naked board to really get a good look.  Also many different angle shots

just an FYI that is actually the Bloodrage, I have the Bloodrage GTI.  The cooling solution is different and the GTI lacks SAS ports.

If i could get the NB, SB, and the vregs next to the IO plate cooled on one black that would be ideal, but 2 blocks would be ok as well.
Pictures should be incoming nateman, will have to poke the people taking them for me and make sure they are still alive

Newegg always has multiple pics: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186169&Tpk=bloodrage
I will try to find some naked pics of the board...though when i was looking before i couldn't really find any. If i can't find any naked pics, i guess i can post up many different angles.

I think this is very doable. My 4th layout i showed you guys caters to this very nicely.

Decent pic of the vregs on the Bloodrage (i assume they are the same as on the GTI, adn the heatsinks are the olny difference)

If those blasted caps werent there it would be such an easy block to make 

If you were willing to mod the board, would it be possible to resolder those caps on the back of the board? Or do you want to keep the board in normal condition, just in case of needing to RMA it?

You can easily see the solder points for the caps on the back of the board, so i would assume you could resolder the caps on the back of the board...just thinking...

that is a great pic though...  acrylic bridges all the way... unless you are VERY handy with a soldering iron

The board is already going to be modified so that i can raise pcie clock past 103.  Not sure i like the idea of moving a cap around to the back but it may be a possibility.
