    Asus Rampage Formula Heatblock Question

    I have a partial watercooled system, my memory, chipset and Graphics card arnt.

    I am looking at cooling my chipset, as it is running pretty hot (don't think it likes 8GB) Ram. Does anyone have any recomendations for this, and what parts do I need to cool (I am guessing I need more than a Northbridge & southbridge blocks)

    And does anyone know of a good WC solution for a BFG 8800 GTC OC - I am starting to use a second monitor, and probably need a second card, so cooling may be an issue.

    Any help / recomendations will be greatfully recived

    The EK smax ( http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ekwaeksac.html ) or nb5 ( http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ekwaek5ac.html )
    both fit the NB. you probably dont need one for the SB especially if your going to use a 2nd graphics card as there will be no room for the
    tubes just use an air heatsink there and you'll be fine. these fit the mosfets ( http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ekwaekas3ax.html ) tho thier
    not really needed either.

    You can measure your ram temps? o_O?

    I have an HR-05 SLI with a noctua fan on my NB and a enzo SFC heatsink on my SB. Temps are 50 and 30 degrees respectively. Will go down once I don't have 2x 4850's in crossfire heating up my computer like crazy on load.
