Given that most Z97 motherboards appear to cool passively and don't have fans, is there any point using motherboard water blocks? I can understand the aesthetic appeal - I've seen some lovely builds with blocks on older motherboard types - but I'm uncertain about their utility as far as cooling goes.
On the off chance that motherboard blocks are a good thing, how long does it normally take EK and the like to start producing blocks after a new motherboard chipset has been released?
