I have the Abit NF7-S motherboard with water cooling on CPU and NB. I am gonna add my GPU to the mix and was wondering do I need to even cool the NB? It doesnt seem like it gives off that much heat, and I could could probably get a little dinky hsf for it and save myself the hassle and just have GPU and CPU on the w-cooling. What are your guys' thoughts?

The Swiftech NB coolers seem to work really well. Since the NB doesn't get too hot, using the Swiftech cooler should keep it under/around the stabilized water temperature. One less restriction in your loop too.

Mine should be here soon, hoping for tomorrow. :cool:
 
A WC block on your NB is not really neccesary. Unless you are working with very high fsb's. Even a passive zalman solution would fix the job.
 
If you are watercooling everything else you may not have enough air flo to keep a passive HS cool .I just ordered one because of that reason.
