Hey, sorry, I kept sitting down to answer you, and kept getting distracted.Quote:

I'm not sure whether the SB really needed liquid, and in retrospect, I could have used a decent low profile air cooler on it. The NB is the one that is super hot. The cooling on the Mosfet is a Koolance block with their large "cold plate". Seems to get the job done.
I posted a picture of the blocks installed. Hope it helps
I thought I saw in one picture that someone put the NB block right on the existing copper system?? Could I have seen that right?
So I assume the copper piece over all the areas is one unit and when you take one off you take them all off?
I was hoping to only to do the NB since I know it gets toasty and leave the other copper units there if they where individual parts.
I could use an Enzotech for the SB like I did on my 680i. And just use ram sticks for the mosfet.
nanohead, the MVR plate for the mosfets is the 107.5mm one ?
Does it fit exactly ?Meaning from-mosfet-to-mosfet, or does it leave out a bit on any mosfet ?
The block seems to me the -40 , correct?
nice setup...
Nah... I don't think that woulda worked. The whole thing is one piece. It takes a bit of work to get it off. The PWMs get nice and toasty too for sure. And yes, I bought the Enzotech and was gonna use it, but had an extra DD NB/SB block so stupidly decided to use it, making my manifolding far more complicated.... sometimes I really piss myself off at myself :rofl:Quote:

Yep, its the -40. I don't think they had the -100 when I did it (I could be wrong, it is probably a better idea to use that)Quote:

Looking on some websites you see Asus Maximus and 790i and so on with their specific cooling options.
Finally got around to getting my NB EK NB/SB ASUS 4 - Acetal unit.
My question is when I remove the stock NB/SB/Mosfet unit from my Asus board, the NB chip is just a tiny chip and then there are a whole bunch of smaller little connections. On the stock cooler it had a square pad around the edge that would not come off, so I left it.
Do I need to work about those little units, or just the chip itself?
cdnbum whats the model of the NB EK waterblock ? or is it the same NB/SB Asus 4 for both SB and NB ?
And the whats model for the mosfets ?
It is the EK Asus 4 - Acetal.
For the mosfets I just used the Enzotech individual copper cubes.
Is this the one you use to cool the mosfets : http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=24478 ?
Actually I bought the Enzotech invidiual copper spikes and then the Enzotech low profile for the SB.Quote:

I'm using my existing AC Twinplex blocks on the NB and SB, I have a low profile one for the SB since it might interfere with the graphics card. For the mosfet I've ordered a block from Anfi-tec, but I'm still waiting it arriving. Which is a :banana::banana::banana::banana: or I'd be building the thing now :P
Halk : the Anfi-Tec mosfet block is custom-made or you have ordered one from the catalog ?
