Oh, you guys are talking about MB blocks.  I think they are nice for looks but as performance goes, they aren't needed at all as all they do is impede the flows performance.  Ram and MB cooling adds lots of restriction to the loop and really doesn't do much.  If you're doing something close to LN2 OCing than I can see why you would need liquid cooling for those components otherwise its a waste.   CPU and GPU cooling is where its at.

Last I measured, the temperature of the VRM heatsink was 65C, and that was at the top of the heatsink so the base was probably even hotter.  The last board I had WC on the VRMs was the ASRock Z77 OC Formula and the voltages were much more stable when they were kept cold.

Most quality VRMs can handle heat from 100c+ up to around 150c.  65c isn't much.  Like I said, good air flow will take care of any issues.  In today's modern age, we have way better VRMs/Mosfets than in the past on quality boards.  Water cooling those isn't needed.  For those that tell you this have no clue or haven't done enough research.  Most water cool them for looks.

well i part u right but in my build i will have cpu on a loop 1, chipset and ram and vrm on loop 2 and 2 of the gpus on a loop and the outher 2 ona a loops . (titan black hydro coppers) for 4 loops 4 rad's 6 pumps that is why i am getting a caselab MAGNUM STH10 or the MAGNUM TH10A along with 2 powersupplys heres what i have sofar from evga

4 loops is a complete waste of money.   A loop needs at least 1 rad to be called a loop.  Honestly I'm questioning whether you're even serious or you're just trolling.
 
*Edited after I reread the poor grammar and spelling 3 times to figure out what you were saying.

well all depins on how hard u plan to push thing in overclocking if i had no plans to push thing thin i would only do 2 loops but i will get too 35k on benchmark or melt it down lol so need good cooling maybe overkill but i can speed wate it takes to do ln2 so i had to find a dif way . i allso have a ac that i am building ducks to blow into rad thin out back to ac to recool like rec on a car to chang inlet air temp fron 70deg's down to 40 degs to even cool more . so kind of what u want to do with it .and for me its not blig i'm after i wont the fast's none ln2 computer built. so for my way of thinking not so much becouse wow hunter i can clock the vid and ram and cpu even higher than i do but can't keep them under 90 to 95c temp is the only thing stoping me from going higher now i can only get wow hun ter to allmost 28k firestrik and allmost 30k on mark11. so need to kool it down somemore if u know away outher than wate me and joe at frozon cpu could figer out to do it please let me know.

but finaly i will drop the forums till i get it done . and thin i will post again . best luck on your builds see u all again later
 

Sigh...if I would have bought the RIVE I wouldn't have this problem, but the Classy has better warranty support.  Why can't we get a hydro-copper version of a mobo, especially the flagship one?

Tried to tell you they wouldn't make them, lol.
 
http://forums.evga.com/EVGA-X99-Waterblock-CLASSY-FTW-MICRO-m2211860.aspx that is where you need to be looking, like I stated earlier in this thread.  nateman makes premium stuff at home.  The only problem: he is overloaded with everyone wanting his custom made blocks. Get on the Classified waiting list if you really want one.
 
With the price drop of the classified on Amazon, I will probably end up picking up the board.

I have two evga 680s SLI
I can't have PCIE 3.0 enabled in the bios without hard crashing while gaming.  I can only game with PCIE 2.0 settings in the bios.  Any thoughts?

Seems like a few folks are having issues with their PCI-E 3.0.  I am sure they are working on a fix for it.  If you think about it for now, PCI-E 2.0 x16 is the equivalent of PCI-E 3.0 @ 8x from what I have read and the tests/benchmarks that were done.  You're not going to gain anything noticeable for the time being in general unless you're running very high resolution (surround) with the use of high Vram usage from my understanding.

My 4.4 ghz 5930k overclock is no longer stable after moving from 1.07 to 1.09. Very frustrating :/ I get system freezes now

I can't get past 4.2 with 1.09.  Had to switch back to 1.06

I wait're almost 4 weeks at a new bios.

I agree that it is completely waste of cash.  I would take that other cash and spend it on like a premium PWM controller on PWM premium fans or something else to add bling to the rig.  All you needed was one big loop with the quads GPUs and CPU with 2 pumps for the extra power and added redundancy.  A caselab case is a great choice but I feel you have gone "man overboard". :P
 
Again, you're entitled to the way you want to build your rig but I think you were misinformed on what you actually really need.  When watercooling most people skip doing extensive research and get into impulse buying.  Lots of research and patience pays off in the end and the wallet thanks you for it. :P

I took my time building my WC rig, and it shows,
Best advice above..........
