Just ordered the NB/SB block, MOSFET blocks and some LEDs

Can't wait to see those mosfet coolers. Those always look badass.
I wish I was you.
Very nice cant wait to see the mosfet coolers.
Can't wait to see those smexy mosfet coolers!
mosfet coolers
I love mosfet coolers.
I don't even know if I can cool my mosfets any more. I got 1/2" tubing and it is crowded with just cooling my CPU lol.
why not i7 940 or 965 ?
[QUOTE=qwerty000;13770758]why not i7 940 or 965 ?[/QUOTE] This build is clearing out my account as it is, a 940 or 965 are just too much to justify the expense.
[QUOTE=apwd007;13770780]This build is clearing out my account as it is, a 940 or 965 are just too much to justify the expense.[/QUOTE] + there's no real reason to go for a 940 / 965 over the 920. Unless you have more money than sense.
Don't the 920 and 940 have locked multipliers, while the 965 has an unlocked multiplier? You could easily reach like, 6GHz on that with liquid cooling.

It looks awesome.

[QUOTE=Odellus;13771352]What ways are these? Overvoltaging?[/QUOTE] I'd need to read that article I linked to.
hotttttttttttttttttttttttt
mosfets!
Looking good, I like those mosfet coolers.
That shit is going to look like cthulu when you're done. Do you plan on water cooling the GPUs as well?
[QUOTE=SomeGuest;13785666]That shit is going to look like cthulu when you're done. Do you plan on water cooling the GPUs as well?[/QUOTE] Well, from the OP: Cooling will be split into two seperate loops, and therefore two identical 12V Laing DDC1+ Ultra 18W pumps. A CPU/MOBO loop and a GPU loop So I'm guessing he is.
My god, I want to make love to it.
[b]20/02 #3:[/b] After having a lengthy conversation with a talking duck (or maybe it was all the cellulose thinner I breathed in when removing thermal paste..), I've decided to mount the two indenticle 1TB hard drives on to the bottom of the case. This is demonstrated with two [highlight][b]old[/b][/highlight] hard drives below; [IMG]http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/apwd007/DSCF1924.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d160/apwd007/DSCF1925.jpg[/IMG]
Sexy. Also: mosfet coolers!
How does one know if water cooling blocks are available for a motherboard you want to buy? (never really thought about cooling them that way).
