Sorrento Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 hey...uh...when you become an engineer and learn how to place everything on a motherboard then come back and tell us how easy it is to do things YOUR way (since you'll have a real understanding of why things are designed certain ways) LOL' date=' and since when is so LIFE-DEATH important to watercool the chipset??? Again, if this motherboard is like the previous NF4 SLI ones the chipset will be cooled properly with a good heatsink... and ONLY when noise is an issue watercooling could be a good option, and there is a bunch of [i']waterblocks[/i] that will fit under the video cards.

General Septem Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Actually if you wanted to cool the chipset, there are plenty of waterblocks that would fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
