I'm putting together the last of bits and pieces of my new loop, and I was wondering if anyone knew of specific (or generic that happens to fit?) blocks for the VRM/Mosfet section of a P8Z68-V Pro board? This was a popular board, and still runs for me, and I figured it might not be a bad idea while I'm at it to cool those since the stock sinks won't benefit from the air movement from an air CPU cooler...

Any help?

maybe something like this? just make sure you get the right size for your board.

cold plates, sits under those blocks

Thank you for that. How do I measure, screw-to-screw on the existing sinks? I would imagine I need some sort of TIM, any suggestions there? (I need to buy some for my CPU block and also my 3 x GTX 680 blocks so if there's one type that would work well for all applications involved) - I know I want it to be non-conductive for the GTX680's...

something like this. the red lines are where you want to get a rough estimate, and find a cold plate thats the closest to the mesurements, but witout going over.

Perfect -- do you think this is worthwhile? Especially at the potentially higher overclocks I might attain on water and/or potential for moving from i5 2500k to the i7 ivy K?
 
might as well, it looks good too. My z68 fatal1ty vrms do get hot from 1.35 volt @ 4.5ghz. it was sitting around 40-45 celcius during load. i might get a vrm block for it soon, and i am currently looking for another board with a one piece motherboard block. like a maximus V formula or an earlier version with a z68 or a p67 chip.
 
I would imagine easier to cut-in to the loop now than after the fact, or worse have smoked 'fets.

If you are interested, I have a brand new Enzotech WMST-88 copper mosfet block that was never used, still has the factory plastic on it...It was designed for some older Asus boards, but since Asus tends to space the VRMs out the same on many boards, it may very well fit..If you pop the stock heatsink off and do some measurements, it might work out really well..I spent $45 on it, but never used it..If it will work for your needs, I would gladly help you out and sell it dirt cheap.

EDIT:

I also have a brand new Koolance MVR-40 (nickel plated) that has never been used either..I bought a 3 inch heat transfer plate for it, but you can either cut it down to size quickly with a dremel/hacksaw, or buy one of the smaller transfer plates..
