Any plans for a full-cover waterblock for GA-X58A-OC

so....yes?
pretty please make it not have a rubbish huge EK logo, and what is with EK's putting aluminium plate over the Nickel Plexi blocks? Serious question!

Same was said about the E759...so what's the answer?

OT: There is also nothing wrong with this board as a 24/7 board (not every board has to be overloaded with junk features), and some of us benchmark on water too, just as an FYI. Further to this, I believe you are EK affiliated so you could use a bit more professionalism in your answers If you have no plans on making it a "we will not be supporting this board as it is, in our view, not intended as a board for daily use" would have sufficed. Just a tip for the future

that is a good point

I'd love to see a waterblock design for this motherboard, even if it is designed as a benchers board that's not to say you won't be running everything on a chiller or phase.

However the biggest unknown is how many of these boards GBT will be making and if they treat it as a limited edition type product. (UD9 anyone) If that is the case then block makers will be hard pressed to sell enough product to make a production run worth while.

I still vote yes, make the block, build it and they will buy.

this will last till socket2011 and depending on what happens with CB it might last for another few years

Indeed. If I could get a waterblock for this board I'd snap it up in a second to replace my current board. I really hope somebody jumps on this. I was also thinking to maybe get the CPU under Phase and leave the motherboard and GPUs under water as this board would be really easy to work with...

I plan to game on the system that I build with this mobo.
