heh...I did said very handy with a soldering iron didn't I? 

lol.. well i have no plans on touching this board with a solder gun in any form, i will be getting someone else to perform the PCI clock mod for me

and what does that entail?

I was thinking, you don't have to put the caps under the board, but put them on "extensions."  solder leads to the board, and to the caps.  with them out of the way... you don't have to worry about anything really.  You could make the best VR blocks ever.

The board is already going to be modified so that i can raise pcie clock past 103.  Not sure i like the idea of moving a cap around to the back but it may be a possibility.

 
Man... you have to really love that board to put that much work into it!  Why not just spend the time working a second job and get a Classified.  I know the Bloodrage used to be "THE" board to have... but isn't it a little out dated?

I thought about that too. But how much resistance would the wires/extra connections have? Also, would you just leave those caps hanging off the board, or would you mount them somewhere? If vokl tries it and it works it is great, and makes making a water block that much easier. if it doesn't work, well that sucks.
