But I still don't have any idea why the 1/2" x 3/4" compressions I already have mounted on this block set aren't compatible. I don't think they'll be in the way of the top videocard since barbs would also be in the way if that were so. They won't interfere with the cpu block either. I e-mailed XSPC and asked what the problem is, but of course they haven't responded. Just sticking a statement of non-compatability onto a product description with no explanation of what they're talking about makes no sense whatsoever. I really wanted to use my GTX 590's since they have more use of 2 x16 lanes than the 680's. On my present board, the 1st 590 runs 2 cores at x16 and the other card runs its 2 cores as x8. Opening up the second lane would mean all 4 cores running in Quad SLi at x16 per core. I picked up an i7-3770K to use with my sig rig and was planning to use the 680's on that board. I'm just holding off watercooling that computer until I get the MSI off and running. I was mounting the 1st waterblock on a 590 and ran out of Prolimatech PK-1 while greasing down the 1st gpu on that card. Stopped me in my tracks until I get a new order in. A 30 gram tube this time. I'm going to need it. Hopefully the T.I.M. will get here by Wednesday, latest. I also need to get some angled adaptors for my compressions but won't know which ones until I get all the components mounted. I want to use a snake to connect the cpu to the chipset block so I also have to find the correct risers.

Cool, let me know how it goes and how they perform. I may grab these for my board if they cool good. I am having a bit of trouble OCing my 3960X at a decent clock. Hoping better VRM cooling will do the trick.
