Hi
I am new member though I have visited this forum many times. This is my first attempt at WC. I have a couple of questions.
I have this Soyo i875 MB with no mounting holes on the chipset but rather these 2 hooks to which the heatsink is currently hooked on to. I am already well on my way to getting all the components for water cooling this system. Do you know if any Chipset Block that supports this type of mount. I have seen this method on MSI MB's also.
Also I have the PNY Verto 5900 Video Card, that I want to cool the ram and the GPU. I do not have the equipment or the skills ( atleast not yet) to make my own Blocks from the scratch. My Idea was to Take he heatsinks out, get come 1/8" copper sheet, and cut it out to the shape of the HS and solder 2 of Rotor's Ram Blocks on either side and Rotor's Chipset/Video Block for the GPU.
Is this a bad idea, will it not provide enough cooling for the Ram.

Thanks in advance for such an incredible site.
