    air
     
    I have the cpu cooled by a d-tek fuzion v2
    However I don't know how my pa 120.3 would re-act to throwing a nb and sb in the loop
     
    so I am going to stick with air for now.

    I did quit a bit of OCing on the 680i.  Tried both air and water. Air is all you really need for the NB/SB.  A 60x60x10 or 20 Fan works fine and drops temps 6-8c almost anything is better than the factory. Water does better of course but IMO it's overkill with that board. I had best results with push to avoid putting all the heat on the GPU. Attachment is simple I've seen many use zip ties however I used dbl sided tape triangles cut with an razor knife on all four corners of the fan. Worked great for me with nary a problem.
     
    I've used these two fans below for your reference.

    Good Luck!
     
    Edit: FYI If you want more info on that board check the Archived Stickies links in my signature there are many articles there specific to your 680i board.
