watercooling core 2 duo chipsets?

[oqvist]

Just about everyone seem to have heatpipe solutions. So if I watercool the northbridge do I need to watercool the mosfet area as well or is there some nice heatsink you can buy that works as well as the heatpipe solution (or better of course...

this is my plan for the SB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835109131 when i WC the cpu and NB

ive read it works great and you can get it n with SLI installed.

i don't know what board you gona use, but EK made some blocks for 680i m-b

watercooling the mosfets seems like overkill on watercooling? Or do it really get that hot? I am not planning to run insane voltages it´s going to be a 24/7 platform not benching.

I am not sure weither to go 680i, 965 or 975. Since I do have an 8800 GTX it would be nice to have the option for SLI but otherwise I lean towards 965 or 975 mostly because of money...

I understand 975 and 965 runs cooler then 680i so do you really need to watercool those? I guess the one that needs it the most is the northbridge?

shouldn´t heatsinks be enough for mosfets on all mainboards and a little fan or passive heatsink on the southbridge...

I currently use this on my NB and it works great. I have ordered a MCW30 waterblock to take its place so I can overclock further. My BadAxe2 has heatsinks on the mosfets and they seem to do fine. If you can also have a fan blowing on them it would help. I left the stock heatsink on my SB.

Just had my Danger Den Sliver RBX modded with a 10mm thick top to fit the std Intel hock mounts!

I had a MCW-30 on my XBX and it was a PITA to get mounted properly if you are watercooling the CPU-GPU and chipset. Ended up not using it on my XBX2.

Yes I am worried how it will all play together. I should have it mid week so next weekend I will try it out. That is if I can hold off until the weekend.
