    stock cooling makes me laugh

    i guess you might raise your cpu temps a little if their on the same loop, but then again mine dropped, so i have no idea what you could be insinuating here. the stock NB water cooling block on the maximus is very restrictive and makes less than 40% contact to the heatpipe/heatsink cooler (due to a very cheap TIM application process at the manufacturer). but think of how much cooler the entire chipset gets. Trust me, and all of the results, you will benifit from cooling the north and south bridge.
