I haven't bought this board yet, but am planning on picking one up soon. I want to watercool the cpu and nb. Does anyone who owns this board know-
Do I have to remove the entire air cooling, heatpipe system in order to get a waterblock on the nb, or can I just remove that one heatsink?
If I have to take everything off, what other cooling solutions do I use, for sb, and other stuff?
thx,
df

I don't own the board, but by looking at the pics of it, all the factory coolers are heatpipe and connected to each other and everything would have to be removed to cool the NB with water.
Thermalright makes replacement coolers for most of the other components that you don't plan on water cooling, but that's going to get real expensive real quick.

when you remove the nb, sb heatsink will be remove (check if the heat pipe can be detached - if so then you don't need to remove the sb completely) but if its one big massive connection (like the commando) it continues to the mosfet blocks.
You'll need mosfet water blocks (2)
