The Asus z97 maximus vii formula comes with its own mofset waterblock. Is the water good in a sense that it doesn't leak from the gasket. Damn it I am worried something tells me that I should have went for the Maximus vii and got a maximus vi waterblock as they fit

No problem, but I would definitely check into warranty coverage in the event there is an issue. Given that they somewhat 'expect' you to run liquid cooling on the board, you'd think it would be A) designed well enough to cool well and, B) not have issues with leaks or manufacturing defects. Curious if ASUS actually produced the block or if it was sourced elsewhere. And regardless of each...what is it MADE OF? Hopefully not brightly colored, anodized aluminium.

I am worried about the block that the Asus Maximus VII formula comes with to cool the mosfet. What I am worried about is the water block. I didn't see any reviews tbh and I am afraid it might leak.

the maximus 6 water block does not fit on this board unless u want to do a lil modding to the block and the motherboard shield. i bought it to get rid of the anodized block that came with it. just a heads up.

Its installed already i should have took pics lol ill grab some pics and add lines on ms paint to show you what i did. I basically used a dremel to grind the water block down a bit. I used the ek asus maximus 6 water block, the board im using is the asus maximus formula 7. i wanted to get rid of that anodized aluminum water block i didnt want to risk coroding my set up...
