Hi guys
I have an 875 board, and the nb gets damn hot. I have already decided I am going to wc it, I am just trying to decide on the design.

I have already finished my cpu, #rotor style, so my gpu and nb will be constructed the same way.

One way to do the nb would just be an empty copper shell, ie aim for as little restriction as possible. I think that would still cool ok, do you? This would then mean that my loop would go cpu->gpu->nb

The other way is to make a normal #rotor style block for it, but dont join all of the holes together, making quite a restrictive block. This would definately cool better. My loop would then go cpu->nb&gpu in parallel.

The last way will give my loop overall best flow, but my gpu may suffer.

Any thoughs?

I will post pics when I am done
