Published: | Posted By:

Watercooling has really left the limelight now that it has been commercialized but that doesn't mean it is gone.  In fact it has become quite big and is a common upgrade in most enthusiast systems.

Here we have a bunch of full coverage motherboard waterblocks, after trolling over the waterblock review be sure to read our review of the Asus Rampage III Extreme.

Ever tried to keep your X58 motherboards IOH and ICH temps at a reasonable operating temperatures ? To be honest most of the stock heatsinks really need some help as they are underdimensioned and/or lack an active fan. Temperatures over 65°C are very comon. Many watercooling companies jumped on the wagon to manufacture a all in one cooling solution for all the hot parts of the mainboard. No seperate waterblocks for the IOH and ICH chipset or PWM area. One block that cools down the hottest parts of your favoruite motherboard. EK Waterblocks was so kind to send us their clear nickel plated version for the Asus Rampage 3 Extreme

Of the enthusiast motherboards on the market, the Rampage III Extreme is likely the best candidate for the upgrade especially if you plan to overclock or want to keep system temps in check while still maintaining a low system noise level.
