INSTALLATION - FINISHED LOOKS

As always the first component we installed was the waterblock and as usual the process is very easy on the LGA2011 socket (mount the 4 bars, place the waterblock and secure it in place using the 4 springs and "thumbscrews").

Mounting the Dual Laing D5 Reservoir is very easy although if your case only has three 5.25" ODBs you will probably not be able to use the top one (due to the thickness of the radiator with the fans).

This is how the radiator looks with the Phobya fans from the interior of the 900D (unfortunately the fans don't have any LEDs).

The 900D has four 5.25" ODBs and our test rig has a Plextor Blu-Ray on the bottom one and the Dual Laing D5 Reservoir right above. Well as you can see the radiator and the fans not only take the top one but they come very close to the reservoir (push & pull is a no go).

The kit is now mounted (nothing flashy but it gets the job done) and we're ready to see how well it does.
