Anyone have any mods or ideas to water cool north and southbridge and use an 8800 gts? I'm getting my replacement parts soon and I don't want to short them out again. Can I plug in the 8800 in the 2nd 16x slot instead of first or will that cause conflicts? Also, if I can't wc sb then what should I use to cool it since I can wc nb np.
you can plug it in the second slot, just be sure to set the second as the primary in the bios

It should physically fit in any PCI-E 16x slot.

it should fit in the second slot no problems as long as hard drives or whatever else could be in the way behind it. although the only thing you need to do is plug in that molex connector AFAIK
