Official Water Cooling Thread of the Stock Maximus SE ROG NB Club:

[carmatic]

hey guys, long time lurker-ish here... just bought what i hope is a SE board http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/6894...lga775-so.html, to replace a non-SE board sold to me as an SE board i.e. http://www.amakia.com/customer/estor...dproduct=86851
i've read somewhere that the newer non-SE boards come with the fusion waterblock anyway?

i also have a question about repasting the nb and sb

i have until now seen a number of options , yanking it straight off and risk taking the nb with it, heating it up before yanking it off, using fishing line to cut through the paste , and lastly and most recently, kalispimenta's chilling down method... i was considering going to the local 24 hour walmart to buy some dental floss and see if that can substitute for the fishing line, but is chilling the heatsink now the de facto way of removing it? if so i'll buy some ice cubes instead, somewhat messier but i dont end up with an empty can to deal with
