I thought about doing the same thing after seeing this on OCN but worried it would screw the warranty so I ended up using copper heatsinks instead, I should be getting my 3rd card monday!

I am not worried about the warranty. I still have one unmolested case sitting in the closet from my work computer.. if one dies ill just slap it on and ship-er out . i have also had lots of luck with the EVGA Products I have purchased so I have no worries

Just a fast question m8, do you need a fan blowing some fresh air to cool the VRAM and Mosfets ?

I do but I don't know if you really need them because all they use is a backplate to cool off the extra 2GB of ram on the back side of the card. I used some of those little old CPU fans they seem to put off a lot of air for there size.

Post some photos when your done

Hrm, After seeing this thread last month I went out and got the EK waterblock. I am having issues under load though. Some games play fine and others peg it to 90+ C. Unlike the setup above I kept the front face plate with fan (I dremeled the face plate so the EK block could fit.) I'm wondering if I should get low profile heatsinks to attach to the face plate.

Didn't see anyone ask, I'm rather curious about your chassis/case, is that a desk? Could you post a few more pictures of that? The woodgrain is a nice backdrop to the setup.

How CPU watts relate to degrees? - How can overclocking affect CPU lifespan? - TEC/Peltier definitions, formulas and temperature estimations

For Intel processors, 0.123 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source]. This includes around 30% overhead, so it isn't minimum for operation. TDP is not actual per CPU, it is a range for multiple processors to qualify for the same OEM cooler and power rating, and allows Intel to debut future processors in the same TDP.
