Worth it to Watercool VRM & PCH?

[2dfx]

So I looked for past threads on the merits of watercooling VRM and PCH on modern motherboards and the answers seemed rather...inconclusive.  Would adding a motherboard waterblock or fullboard block be worth it for cooling the VRM & PCH?  Or is the stock solution "good enough" for any type of overclock?

For modern boards? Usually no, unless you have a board with really shitty VRMs. Can be worth it aesthetically, depends on how you like your rig to look.

Done it one my two recent ASUS boards but they weren’t modern or cheap. 
 

If I had a nice board that was offered with the option I would. But it’s so cheap it doesn’t even have a temp header. 
 

Worth it to me but stability wise, comes down to the board and the environment.

So what were your reasons for doing it?

Worth it for noisw if the stock board has active cooling with a tiny whiny fan

One board, the heat pipe was cracked. A lot easier to get a block than a new pipe. With 4 cards on it, the pch would get quite hot. With a good oc’ing chip I was actually able to use the board properly. 
Other board came with a preinstalled vrm block, so I got the matching chipset block and put them all in the loop. 
Did it because I can and they were top tier boards of their time.
