When I get mine it will be the first time I tried water cooling anything other than CPU and GPU. Are there any good tutorials for getting the heat sinks off properly on this board or is it pretty simple?


Not really, however, it is pretty straight forward, the screws come out from the back of blocks and they come off.
IIRC I just reused the thermal pad for the MOSFET and the SB, I cleaned and reapplied TIM.
For the MOSFET/VRM block just watch the upper edge of the board, it can be easy to over-tighten, if the board flexes it's too tight, otherwise its its snug and the board is still unflexxed, you are good to go.  And provided you have adequate cooling connected to the blocks, they will do VERY well.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I have adequate cooling but I will run a separate rad when I do the GPU's on this install.

Welcome to the forums!  I will very likely start the batch tomorrow.  I found some raw materials outside my front door today.
