enough cooling for a 680i Southbridge?

Hi

Have got a Lian li v2000+ case for my new build and am watercooling for the first time. I am planning on using a DD setup to cool the CPU (conroe), Nortbridge (BFG 680i) and GPU (8800).

I am going to mount the 120.3 radiator in the roof and have added a 120mm fan to the front of the case as I will not be using the side panel fan.

Will the Southbridge be ok? It will have air drawn across it from the fans on the radiator above and be blown on from the one at the front. I plan to overclock, but not to extreme levels.

Thanks

Thanks, do you know of any passive coolers that would fit along side the 8800?

I looked at the thermalright as some guy on another forum had fitted one ok, however the email I got back from them said otherwise.

I was thinking that once I remove the heatsink I could staighten it out (the pipe) and have it attached to the Southbridge only, running parallel along side the memory slots?

Good luck, I was going to get a 8800 with a waterblock too.

Would a watrcooled 8800 fit ok, I guess it would.

Cheers

How do these blocks fit on, are there screw holes?

Thanks

Could one of you post the full name of the alphacool block that fits the Southbridge on the 680i.

Thanks, this sounds like the best option so far, can't stand little noisy fans anymore.
