I like the layout, it will be best match. When will you send the first water blocks for the VRM?

This might just be my personal but could you square off the rounded corner in that block? I think it would match the other block and suit the board a bit better...

Nate,
   I would give input but I am leaving it up to you. I will be using three cards with water blocks but I a fortunate that they do not cover the entire card. I am using Koolance blocks. My Cpu cooler is a Swiftech Apogee Drive II and my hose connections are on the top of the board. I use 1/2" fittings and I am really glad you are concidering this.

I do try to appease everyone.  acesi, the corner that is not rounded is going over the only other chip that the factory heatsink makes contact with.  i will put a small round on it, but it don't want it to not make good contact. 
 
oh, speaking of boatswain.  he brought up a good point about power connectors a little while back.  The power connectors that I have don't really interfere, but some folks with bulky power connectors might have a small issue.  There are amazing things that can happen with an razor knife, but can I see pictures of your 8 pin CPU plugs?

Sorry nateman_doo, I actually meant the other way around. As in, can you make the block more square on the large section. I just think it will suit the rest of the board a little better.
 
Does that make more sense? I can try to show you what I mean in paint if you like (I have to photoshop skills what-so ever!.)

go for it with paint.
 
This was the power connecter I was talking about:


I have no problems with the power connector.  Does anyone foresee their power connector being a problem?
