Re: Serious Flaw in watercooling?
That would be an ASUS board, right?
It would be unusual for caps to overheat; are you sure you don't mean that the inductors (coils) get hot? That's normal, and usually harmless.
If any company builds a regulator circuit properly, you can bet Asus is one of them (they have close ties to Intel). If it needed more cooling, it would come with it.
If you're overclocking & overvolting your processor, then see a dramatic rise in temperature, that's a whole different situation: you might want to look into sticking some heatsinks any which way you can, without shorting out anything. Many have even water cooled their power regulator circuits.
