A few questions about watercooling a 780i

[redj41]

Hey! I recently switched to watercooling on my CPU, and now I am planning on switching over my motherboard. I have an XFX 780i, and it runs hot. Especially at a FSB of 2000mhz+. I'm breaking 60C when I run stress tests, and I can't seem to get an OCCT stable overclock above the 2000mhz mark. My CPU isn't breaking the 60C mark anymore, and I would like to believe watercooling the chipset and mosfets will help.

 

Finding blocks for the chipset hasn't been difficult, but I am not sure if the blocks I am looking at will work with a GTX260 in the top PCIe slot. I'm also having a hard time finding Mosfet blocks made by anyone other than bitspower. Here are the blocks I'm looking at:

Bitspower makes a full coverage block that would definately work, as well as blocks for both sets of mosfets, but they are a little more expensive and do not have a clear top (which I would like, for the UV effect I am planning on). If anyone has used that I would love to know if it works well.

 

If anyone has any experience, advice, or reccomendations I would really appreciate it!

I'll try to get a picture of the space I'm talking about up this evening.
