As far as I can see the only block to fit is the A8N version of the MAZE 4, however I dont want a lexan based top waterblock period.

Any idea on polarflo chipset blocks?

they list both universal ones and also a bracket that can be cut to the correct shape.
I dont want alluminium tops either, after taking care that my whole watercooling setup is copper/brass based.
 
No idea on PolarFlo. There are some European companies that make solid metal chipset coolers for that board. You can see some of them at MIPS Computer.
 
nice thanks, gona take a good look at these.
May not be so good for a high-flow system though?
 
They are great for a high flow system. They have a G 1/4 thread spec (G = BSPP)
 
this is what iam gona go for, that lexan on the maze 4 makes me nervous especially on a very hot running nforce 4 chipset. Ive emailed dangerden suggesting a brass topped A8N chipset block, gona wait for thier reply.
 
I wouldn't worry to much about it as there is a water jacket between the lexan and the copper block. ;)
 
iam worried about it cracking and dripping over an expensive 7800GTX...

The Aqua Cuplex fits, and from my first hand experience, it keeps the chipset quite cool.

Cracking from.... magic fairies in your WC loop?
:rolleyes:
Seriously, when will the rumours about acrylic topped blocks die? If you don't use superhulk strength when you tighten the fittings on, you will never have a problem. Hell, both my CPU blocks have 5mm holes drilled in the side for LEDs, and I even don't have any cracks.
