I'm looking into watercooling my p5n-t motherboard, and I'm looking for some advice.

I'm normally quite savvy with this sorta stuff, but I have never wc'd a chipset or mosfet.

Looking around, it looks like it will be easy enough to do the NB/SB on my board, but i'm slightly confused about the mosfets.

is it even worth doing it? I mean, I understand why it gets done, but im only putting in a single rad to cool them, so should i just leave them.

Also, with regards to the sb, i'm going to be putting in 3 gfx cards in the near future, so I have to consider if its going to interfere with them. I'll be putting a gtx260 in the slot next to the sb. Has anyone ever done this, or encountered any problems?

Any advice would be appreciated
 
No. IMO it's purely asthetic. Thats the only reason I did it.

If you really want to reduce the heat on your chipsets without WC, look at Enzotech's forged copper products. They can drop your temps within 3-5C of WC with nice airflow in your case.
