hey i have watercooling, and now because their are no fans what can i use to cool the northbridge and southbridge heatsinks, there getting pretty hot, almost to hot to touch. abit worrying, i have a antec p180 and the mobo is the asus striker extreme for the heatsinks i have the stock fan that comes with the mobo mounted on the heatsink but theres another 2 to cool any help ? also what can i use to cool the hdd'd there pretty hot aswell now
 
where can i put them ? the radiator is hanging over the back and i have a top fan but its not enough carnt cope with the heat of the nb and sb alone.
 
its the antec p180 and the fan that was the intake fan has been taken out because thats where the pump is now, so i only have 1 120mm top mounted fan.
 
I'd contemplate moving the pump to get the use of the intake fan in preference to adding more blocks to avoid the performance hit on the other parts in the loop.

Did you run the same set up on air before swapping to water, and was it cooled sufficiently?

If you can, post some pics of how it is currently set up.
 
Ok i will take some pictures when i get home, and thanks messiah khan, nice phase change unit btw. it was cooled sufficently but running at 60 degrees on air, water 35 now idle :D
 
Also if i do watercool the northbridge and southbridge am i going to have to upgrade my radiator, it is a black ice extreme dual rad so should i get a triple rad ?

My current set-up is
Danger dan tdx intell 775 block,
Danger dan Nvidia 8800gtx block,
2x 150ml reservoirs,
Danger dan Tubing,
Liang D5 Vario,
Black Ice Extreme Dual Rad.

running at 30-34 degrees idle, 48-50 at full load.
