So I've got all the stuff coming to water cool my motherboard, except something to attach some 10x10mm heatsinks.

 

Its a Asus Sabertooth  990FX R2.0 and im using the waterblocks found on this OC.net thread http://www.overclock.net/t/1468642/how-to-watercool-the-asus-990fx-sabertooth-rev2-0-vrms-and-nb. The 10x10mm heat sinks will go on the chokes.

 

Suggestion please!

 

Also, if anyone know's of a place other than the NB and VRM on the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 that could use extra cooling please chime in.

Arctic silver has the best thermal adhesives.

They're so good, once you put it on you can pretty much never remove it.

So yeah, if you want it to be permanent use some of that.

I *really* would not want to throw adhesive pads on it if you plan to sell it later on. It can hurt the value a fair amount (at least from what I've seen).

 

If you're not trying to run a 9590 then you should be fine without any additional heatsinks.

@EndermanMy first instinct was to go to Artic Silver, Ive been using AS5 on my CPU for 15 years. 

 

@tmcclelland455 Im not really worried about re-sale value, i tend to break my toys before im finished with them. Im not all that keen on the stick it on and its there forever pholisophy all the paste products tend to have. I like options and permanent application removes options. Im not running a 9590 but I an running a 9370. SO yeah, basically a 9590 with a module stuck at 5ghz/1.488/72c prime95,  Im trying to fix that!
