Saw this on Twitter and thought of all of you with water blocks.

Sweet! That's a great piece of info.

Hopefully you can drill other AM4 mobos to achieve the same effect.

I swear that I read that EK WB is coming out with a full cover block for this board, but this is the best I can find now.

I miss Steve also. He was really nice to me.

leave it to Asus and the rog series to keep compatibility.

like the first x79 ROG boards that could be used with x58 coolers after removing the front plate.

Wish I knew this sooner as I ordered a EK block to replace my old Koolance block I used on my 8350 and I preordered the Crosshair VI. Oh well I am sure the EK block is likely better then my old Koolance one.

Make sure to use ESD protection on your drill
