I will get a custom top for one tomorrow at a certain company that makes waterblocks ;0

Im guess that company is DangerDen, knowing you Darth

Yep. AMD/ATI gave me a Gigabyte 790FX DQ6 mobo, some Phenom CPU (ES so I know not what the heck it is yet) and a pair of sample 3870 X2s for my Cherry X project. We will make a CPU block and probably nb/sb tomorrow. I will ask them to keep the drawings should you want to order one. You need to get a mofset elsewhere (I usually go to EK).

Damn I wish I had those kind of contacts.

I would love to do a Phenom 9850 BE and Quad SLI build in My Rocketfish case with dual thermalchill 120.3 rads

I will be doing a Hybrid SLI project for Nvidia which, due to it showcasing Hybrid SLI, will have an AMD Phenom proc and probably Quad SLI. I will debut it at PDXLAN 12 along with Cherry X. Really weird I have to concurrent releases and neither will have an Intel proc. My Skulltrail release was Intel of course and my NVISION 2008 release will also be an Intel-based build.

can i get a job assisting you!

If that top is for the Maze4/whatever the new one is, I could use one. Mithril and I are having issues with the fitment of the universal and a MOSFET block...

You might be interested in The Answerer when it finally releases... I'll be sure to let you know when it does, as it's designed for Phenom's monolith core. Might beat out some of these offerings, as well as being very flexible in mounting...

Your choice of mobo would probably factor into the decision. I've been through the MSI K9A2 Platinum, the Asus M3A32-MVP and now am on the DFI M2R 790FX. The 790 doesn't seem that hot to me, nor does the SB600

They each had different methods. The Asus had the most fancy air cooling devices, which might have worked well had the board not been so monumentally unstable, and ultimately spontaneously combusted on me.

The MSI was similar to the Asus, which had a dopey snaking heatpipe doohicky stretched across the landscape. That was a nice mobo, but I had an early one, put a 125w CPU in it and it just up and rolled over dead.

The DFI has the most remedial system and clean layout. But the PWM area is the hot spot in that one. The 790FX NB is a little warm, but not an issue IMHO

Not sure if I would water cool the chipset on the 790FX, unless you're obsessed like me. They don't seem to run that hot.

Now if you're talking about the 780G, there we have a problem (I could cook pizza on my Gigabyte 780G board. Put a thermalright 05 on top of it, and that barely helped.) Maybe that would be a good place to use the carcass of my Freezone that is sitting on a shelf (I hate it)
