@ joecop120 $6K is a lot but it's been nearly 10 years since I built a custom system so I get my money's worth outta them. As for shareing my $$$ you'll have to make an appointment with my accountant. IE The Wife

@ Nate P. 7/16 it is then

@ Wolfsburg18 Thanks for the input to my questions. The only reason I'm looking at cooling the entire board off the bat is I've seen some very bad damage done to these boards after they have been powered up trying to remove the stock cooling setup. I think Asus uses thermal epoxy to put it together. - maybe just removeing the heatpipe and cleaning that garbage off and reinstalling and go from there. It would save a bunch. Nah that's no fun...

Two loops will probably be the route I take in the end 120.2 on the CPU and the 120.3 for the GPU's and MB. Time to start thinking about a case to house all my HDD's for the server.
