    Asus Maximus Gene Z77-watercooled

    Hello

    Well I got one of these motherboards for my Lian Li V600 worklog and I have been thinking about watercooling it.

    Wanted to know if you guys and girls think its worth watercooling these Z77 boards???

    If so dose anyone know if the EK Mosfet waterblock will fit???

    Thanks

    Not necessary, but I am sure someone will make a block for it eventually. On SB/IB boards it will be purely for aesthetics and not for performance.

    Yes, the waterblocks for the Z68 works great on the Z77 version.

    Thanks for the feed back guys I think I will put the rig together and see if the rig needs more white added when I am finished, if so I will get the block and get a white top cut out again.

    you'd need to order from aquatuning or just order direct form mips in germany.

    I've not had a block from mips in a while but the last one i had, well the nickel plating certainly wasnt the best i'd ever seen, they may have improved their process since but if its a nickel one you want, I'd get a plain copper block and find a good plater to plate it for you.

    So in theory that would mean the EK Block should also fit the Gene V???

    Yes it should. You can also print out this drawing to give it a try:

    I think you need to print it out in A4 for the scale to be correct.
