Well I got the NZXT installed, but I'm having a problem, so I can't crunch with the gpu until I solve the over heating problem I've got, idle is at 61C currently, I've asked NZXT for advice, since they might know something, I think the Antec 620 is not making good enough contact, temp when crunching on the gpu is 90C+, 102C seen once, I'll have to clean the Zotac Infinity properly and reinstall that, as I may have ruined the bracket by over tightening it. After I realized this I loosened the two screws that seemed like they were on too tight, the bracket got bent some on the corners. Sorry I don't have a better picture, oh and the fans are in push pull, they are a pair of Koolance 120x25mm 108cfm fans. The screws in question are the two towards the left side of the pic.

Until I can solve the gpu temp on the 570, I'll be putting this Zotac Infinity 580 back in the case on the back in place of the 570, stock is with just a 25mm fan where the 38mm is at, now this setup has a 148cfm fan(120x38mm, Delta AFC1212DE) and a 113cfm(120x25mm, Delta AFB1212SH) fan, though I need to do this with the case on it's side once again with all the light I can bring to bear, it's kind of late, but I'll give it a shot since this involves only 2 screws, at the very least, as I don't know where anymore case screws are at currently.

I got both the GTX570 and the GTX580 installed in the case and excluded the 570 from Seti, though at 68C idle the 570 is just too warm, though the idle of the 580 is 32C, but when crunching the 580 is 63C, at least while the swamp cooler is on low cool, I may be able to run on low vent when the temp outside is low enough, sometime Monday I'll take the 570 out until a different bracket arrives and try again. For all I know the 620 is not adequate, I will be able to change that, but not until after July 11th will I be able to get a thicker radiator.

idle is at 61C currently,

If the radiator fans are running, and the pump is pumping, and the system is still full of fluid, then all that's left is that the water block isn't making good contact with the GPU core.

Yeah that is what I figured out, I took the card out of the case until I get another bracket and I have a few coming now from the UK, I'll just have to take some measurements to make sure the gpu core and block are level with respect to each other without any bending.

I had an idea last night, what do you think? It's level in 2 directions, though I only took a pic of one of the two directions.

NZXT got back to Me, Here's their 'helpful' message...

Hello Victor,

You need to contact Antec about the cooler, as it has nothing to due with the G10 bracket at all.

The G10 is fine.

Sincerely,

NZXT Support


I have a feeling that Antec would either refer Me to EVGA or back to NZXT and say something along the lines of the 620 H2O is a cpu cooler. So I'm just going to hope the install is ok after I leveled the block on the 570 gpu. This mounting system could stand some improvements, like compression springs on each corner to keep from over tightening the block and to keep the block level in relation to the gpu, but that's My guess, beyond that it seems like a solid system.
