I'm looking at maybe watercooling my mobo when I finally assemble the parts, to try and further quiet down my system, (Pch fan spins up to 4k rpm every 10mins or so its somewhat annoying, used bios settings doesn't help much)

 

Anyways I'm getting EK CSQ nickel blocks all the way around, and I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions or reviews on them/ other board blocks.

 

heres what I was thinking of:

I'm open to all suggestions so just shoot one at me!

 

Thanks guys

I've talked to both Frozen-CPU and Daz Mode. Both say that EK has none even at their distributors so it could be 2-4 weeks before retailers get them. You may want to look into Alphacool Nexxxos monsta rads. They are around 50Dollars more than EKs 480m Rads and 20mm thicker and look into the Phobya G-Changer.

Idk if I want to go 105mm worth of fan+rad, the 900D only has around 110mm of space that I can work with :q

 

The ek xtx's are 64mm thick + my 25mm fans so its around 89mm thick which makes me a lot more comfy with some room to manage the cables and stuff around em, I'll check some other sites if I can, hopefully I can turn up results, the next option would probably be maybe those phobya g-changer or the Monsta's if I decide to go "big or go home" lol
