Oh.....Almost Forgot to Show on the Back of the MB that I also added some Kneadable Eraser, a square of Neoprene and used some more Tape to hold a Rear SB Barrier in Place.

And as per the Instructions, placed ONE paper towel over the Kneadable Eraser.......

Well, That's it for Tonight.
I Ran Out of Insulating Materials to Finish the Rest of the Preparations, So I'll have to wait for The UPS Truck to bring More Stuff from Frozencpu.com later this week.
 
Btw:
Just received a PM that My Third and Fourth EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified KPE's and associated EK Acetal-Nickel Water Blocks Should be arriving around Wenesday!
 
I Guess As The saying Goes, There is No Rest for an "Old Weary Overclocker" that has Once Again been Bitten By the Quest to "Make it Colder", But Then Again, Age has a Way of Slowing You Down when You think You can still keep up the Same "Young Man's" Pace Later In Life!

you know the water is just going to run off the tape and land on the board right?
So that's where the shop towels or toilet paper come in...
The cover all the in between parts.

OK, I Still have to Stuff and Cover with Paper towels/T-paper Underneath/Around the SB Water block and CPU Area.
 
I Should have just Sprayed the Entire Board with Vaseline Like I use to and Left it at That.
 
It would have been Much Easier (and Less Time Consuming), But I am the One that decided to give Kneadable Eraser/Shop Towels/T-Paper a try, so I'm Still Learning...........

Do You Think I have Enough "Absorbent" Material around the Water Block/CPU Now John?

Finished Installing Top Insulation and Tested Vapo Head for Contact Patch.
 
Any Other Comments?, If Not, It's Almost Time for Re-assembly............BUT, I'll Wait a Little While until I'm SURE Nobody Notices Any Steps I might have Missed!

Well, I had ALMOST Forgotten how Heavy My Phase Change Unit Weighed Until I Lifted it up and Reached across the Table with it, and Then...........Uh Oh!, I Just Pulled a Muscle in my Lower Back (Again!).
 
I Now Declare It is Officially Time to Sit Down, Take a Happy Pill, Relax for a While and Contemplate "Why Am I Punishing Myself Like This?"
 
I'm Telling You What, The Older You Get, The More You Can't Do All the Things You used to be able to Take for Granted.
 
Don't Believe Me?, Just Wait a Few More Years.................
 
BTW: I Did manage to Mount the Vapo to the ASUS, and...... Man!, Is That a Tight Fit or What?

The System Booted up OK, But HWMonitor and Real Temp aren't showing the right Temps, But the ASUS OC Remote Panel shows the CPU at -18C and My Thermal Probe on the Vapo Shows -43C at the top of the Evaporator.
 
Must have some settings Wrong in the BIOS or Software Problems with the HWMonitor and Real Temp?

The ASUS BIOS and the ASUS Remote OC Panel are showing the Correct CPU Temperatures, so That means there is some kind of a Problem with Real Temp and HWMonitor.
 
Anyway, I Just threw in my old EVGA GTX 480 and started the System up just to see if the Vapo and everything else was working.
 
I've got the EK MB Blocks on Ambient Temperature Water Cooling for Now, and I'm going to put Two KPE's on Water Cooling Tomorrow, But as Long as the System at Least Started Back up with No obvious Problems, That's about All I need to Know for Now!
