man, thats awesome! i will def look into the micro board. assuming the vreg is likely the same, maybe the SB will be different? i will pick up on the CAD work in the next few days, i was away all last week.

glad your back. How was the field trip? lol

Hey Nate, I'm itching to get back to team EVGA for a motherboard this round on the x99, and your waterblock is really directing me that way. But I have to ask, because it's how I do my financials, how much would you be charging for the block kit for this board? Lemme know when you can, thanks.

Its hard to say, but they won't be much.  I have a mother board in hand, so I will do a paper prototype tomorrow when i am back in gear.

Here is what I can say for the X99 Classy...(PN 151-HE-E999-KR)
 
There will be both a chipset and Vreg.  There is no avoiding it since there is a heatpipe connecting the 2 of them.  

Oh good :-) can't wait to see how they turn out.

don't want to over urden you nateman, and as I said before no rush on it. Do you think we could get a CPU block? I am willing to solo fund this venture if need be. I have a really good idea for my build I may want to try. It also seems like my EK cpu block has a scratch in it showing copper. Rather spend that money on a Nateman Co. than EK.

Micro would be cool to see :)

Here is a quick sketch of the chipset block.  I will see how well it fits.

 
seta.. let me see what I can do.  I haven't even finished designing one for the version I have in my hands, let alone the other two.  
 
The easier I make things, the faster I can bang them out.  Solo projects tie up my machine for a very long time.  If nothing is going on and I have a quiet spell with orders then hell yea, why not.

cool. I have no rush. you could hold onto my board for like 6 months and I would not care one bit. I have a lot of other things to wait on and even build.
