    I have the Asrock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3

    You are in luck. I found that Koolance has some that will fit your mosfets/vrm.

    You need 2 of them each with their own MVR Heat Transfer Plate, 75.5mm

    I am running them and you can see them here tucked in behind the rear 120mm radiator. I will warn you if you plan on using the 4pin molex below the power management then you will need to dremel/cut off the ear on the molex plug so it will fit beside the mount.

    I can see if I can get a better picture if you need, just let me know.

    EK is working on their site right now it seems and I can't get there, but I thought they had a mosfets/vrm block as well that was 1 pc for our boards. I went with the cheaper and universal solution for "down the road"
    EDIT: Nevermind they don't seem to have one for this board...

    I have not watercooled the southbridge yet and haven't researched a block for it. That will be when I tear the loop down to add the watercooled videocard when I buy it. I do believe if you run crossfire/sli like I am right now it is going to be a tight squeeze, but just have to make sure the proper block with proper barb locations is selected.
