This mobo is not going in a normal case and the GPU will not be hooked into the CPU loop. Also no PCI cards will be there to get in the way. The mobo is going to sit flat on the bottom of the box (next to 2 other mobo's) as if you set your case on the side. 3 NB blocks and 1 GPU block will be in one loop and 3 CPU blocks in a seperate loop.
But this block will have a copper top so I can solder on any type of barb needed. I don't have the top drawn up yet. This probably isn't the final version either. I got thinking and I really don't have a way to cut that shape out.
I am going to use 3/8" thick copper and make the channel 5/16" deep. As of now the GPU block will go on
THIS card. One I get home Iwill pull it out of the system and double check the measurments to make sure the hole pattern is similar to the NB. The card doesn't really need a water block as the cooler on it does a good job. Leadtek even put a good layer of thermal compound on it! but being I want to water cool the NB I just aswell through the GPU in the loop aswell. I got a ASUS A7V8X-X and they didn't put a NB fan on the sink and that damn thing gets very hot. I can't imagine why they didn't put a fan on it.
