Hey everyone. My faithful gigabyte x58 ud4p crapped out on me the other day. I deconstructed my loop in my 800d. Mounted the oem heatsinks and couldn't get it to boot for me on a testbench. Its a gonner. Ive applied for an RMA with gigabyte to see if they have something comparable in their inventory. Seems that for $45 plus shipping and handling, they may be able to repair the board.

I have EK NB/SB blocks and mofset blocks for this board. Seems that I can also use it on UD5 and extreme boards too.

I want to stay on x58 and have an ASUS x58 sabertooth in my possession. I want to water cool though and it doesnt seem like there is any full board blocks for the sabertooth. Anyways, I dont want to spend too much and am looking for some advice on which direction to go.

Advice appreciated as always. TIA

Ya?

Just cool the CPU and GPU? Or add a north bridge block?

Anyone think I'll need to worry about mofsets?

Not if you have decent case fans and have some airflow...Most of the asus boards i have ever seen have fairly decent cooling without the need to watercool
And to me the cooling on this board looks fine to me:)
