    as i can see from "naked" board part of PCH block with fitting holes don't cool anything. is it made to improve tubes routing or any other reason? and is there any need to put such big chunk of copper over 7w chip?

    @vetelar: It's the only way to watercool PCH while still keeping all four slots usable. Ports are therefore moved above the first PCIe slot in order to enable quad SLI / quad crossfirex.

    @chaotic: Not planned at the moment.

    Is there a backplate/cooling for the chokes and mosfets because I thought they need cooling on the backside too or does it not get that hot once watercooled?

    Waterblock uses stock backplates, yes. It gets quite hot indeed once you start cranking volts, but still considerably cooler than just using air cooling.

    Are you guys planing for other full blocks for X79 boards? I know that you always released for ASUS Rampage motherboards but I was thinking maybe for ASRock aswell... :-)

    Waterblock - needs clean Acetal look with lines removed, needs EN Nickel plating
    Board - Needs to be rid of those ugly white clips

    Not impressed...but not surprising since nothing about X79 so far really impresses me. Any plans for a block for the X79-UD7?

    Check first post, dejanh, EN Nickel will also be available. In fact all four version instead of previously planned EN Nickel only.
    Gigabyte X79-UD7? Don't know yet.

    I think it doesnt look that great was really hoping for a 1 piece design, however i am interested in the cpu block in the first pic. The nickel one that is on the table, is it a new block that is coming??

    Cooling under the i/o area heatsink and above the graphics card is not needed? Is the purpose of them on the original heatsink design just to dump heat from the heatpipes?

    as far as i can see no contact between i/o area heat-sink and above the graphics card part and MOBO (pic)

    It kind of looks like the old ek block but styled more like the new HF?

    Some of us never liked the Nickel plated look, to me it's always looked cheap.
