Does anyone know of a watercooled motherboard, or a motherboard with watercooling components for the all the major heat producing components that fit the following criteria?

AM2+
4+ DIMM slots
2+ PCI-e x16 slots

I've looked at the ASUS ROG lineup and the EVGA hydro classified.

I really like the EVGA Black Pearl motherboard. Does anyone know where I could find anything like that which would fit my criteria?
 
as far as i know there are none for AMD chipset motherboards though watercooled chipsets are not required for AMD motherboards since the chipsets run insanely cool because they dont have the memory controller under them.. typically you see them for Nvidia chipset/NB LGA-775 motherboards since they run so hot..

just to give you an idea.. even with my motherboard under full load.. CPU, GPU, memory, hard drives.. my 780G chipset never goes over 40C and i have a tiny heatsink on it..
you would be luckly if you even saw an AMD 6xx or 7xx series chipset hit over 50C..
 
For any MB components you're worried about, just stick your finger on them. If you can hold it there, then they're fine as-is. If they're a little too hot, just slap some copper heatsinks on them and the airflow from your front/rear fans should take care of it. Enzotech makes some nice copper stuff for this kind of thing.
