Water cooling the Asus Maximus SE X38

[Creek Tha Gray]

Very nice cube.

I´ve one question:
I want to use the ek-mosfets. Do i have to use the backplates or can i use them without them? Can you give me some info for pro´s and contra´s?

Thanx

at first i had no backplates and it did work but the mobo has a little bend in it so I now have backplates and say they are the way to go.

Did you make the backplates yourself?

Also, anyone that watercooled cpu, NB,SB and mosfets, would you post your OC results here? I just did CPU/NB and was wondering whether I should have gone further with my water-cooling. My rig will be coming apart soon for a 45nm chip. Sooo if it's worth the effort, I need to plan for it now.
