I think some manufactures should have a think about making an even more watercooling friendly board. If the board was redesigned to have either the cpu at the bottom of the case or on a very small separate board to be placed at teh bottom of the case this would make it safer as any leaks would have a smaller affect, not leak all over the other components, easier to avoid condensation problems as this samll area could be pre treated in protective coating. This would alll lead to an easier time for us and entice more people into watercooling as there would be significantly less risk. This extra board could be independantly replaceable. Also chip manufactures could produce chips without the circuits showing so direct die cooling could be easily implemented. If you go to the general forum, read my post esentailly, less fear of water in computer, more people use, AMD and INTEL can be more concerned with speed than heat. Ridiculus speeds available cheap soon. The current chips can go faster but not without more heat, but the heat level now is at maximun heatsink capacity, if watercooling was standard in every system I would be using a 5GHz chip while writing this to you.
