Water Cooling

http://rog.asus.com/product/product_...reme_over.aspx

Thats The Motherboard I Just Purchased. If You Look In The Middle Of The Board There Is A Liquid Cooling Sytem In/Out.
Is There Anyway To Just Attach The Watercooling Tubes To Those In/Out Holes Instead Of Attaching It To The Processor?
I Would Like A Heatsink, And Watercooling, And Im Getting The Coolermaster Chasis 1010

I Want To Overclock As Much As Possible.

Thanks.

Re: Water Cooling

I am not really sure if i understand your question but from what I am thinking you are asking, YES you can just watercool the chipset alone or loop it in with a CPU water block. You leave that water block that is already on the board and connect that to the water cooling system. That is how they designed it so you get some passive cooling as well as water

Re: Water Cooling

well you can water cool or leave that heat sink as passive.
You don't have to water cool your CPU, you can just use air cooling.

Re: Water Cooling

Re: Water Cooling

Ok, now i hope i am on the same frequency

Yes you can just water cool the chipset and use a heatsink on your CPU

Personally i would just do both if I was going to the trouble of setting up a cooling system
