790GX (Asus M3A78-T) chipset waterblock?

Anyone here ( I posted in the watercooling forum, but no response...) know what chipset cooler (I would rather water, but if not... I'll make due) I could use to watercool the 790GX mobo?

My rough measurements put the pin distance about 1-1.5 mm wider than the widest the MCW30 is specced for. Probably doable. I haven't ordered an MCW30 yet (seriously thinking about it), but if I did, I'd probably use some thick rubber washers on both sides of the motherboard when mounting it. Then again, I haven't actually put a block on the board yet. It might not be that big of a deal.

been doing some reading i think this may just fit these boards,i think i'll try one of these ,

The EK-NB/SB 5 Chipset block is a universal chipset water block with mounting hole distances from 51.5 to 64.5mm. Block is mounted with 2 M3 screws, springs and thumb nuts.
