Water Cooling for Asus Striker Extreme

[UmbraSprite]

Hey all...

I pretty much am looking at the same set up as the previous (air cooling) post however I am looking to give the entire system a thorough overclocking.

E6600 or E6700
Asus Striker Extreme 680i
BFG 8800gtx water cooled

So obviously the vga has the blocks...but what blocks will be the best fit for the 680i? Will the blocks used with previous nforce boards fit?

I also would love opinions on water cooling kits that can run the vga, mb and processor. If I need to go custom that is fine but if a prebuilt solution is there which may only require the addition of a block and some extra tubing that is preferable.

Thanks a million!

I don't think you would need water cooling for that board, look at all the heat pipe going on, you would probably have to remove of a fair amount of these to put a water block.

Putting a small fan on top of the NB should do the trick.

Well I plan to overclock the system pretty thoroughly .... so if I need to redesign the cooling I will. I am hoping I can sneak the block inside the pipes but that may not be possible.
