Hi, theres quite a few spec me threads out so Im kinda OK with that
Ive actually got really good air cooling at moment, my CPU runs at 19-23C idle typically, though Im sure that'll warm up come summer
Reason why Im thinking of going WC is the amount of noise my gfx card make to keep them cool
Read in one of other threads though that you cant really WC a x-fire set up, I take it this would be because of space
However in the vga blocks section it list a full cover vga cooler that does work on dual card set ups
So my question is, can I? How easy would it be? or is it going to be really difficult? And how easy would it be to remove the coolers from the cards (without damaging them, lol)?
This is my mobo, unfortunately the 8pin PSU to m/b cable wasnt quite long enough to go round the back through the cable compartment

Theres no problem removing the coolers from the cards.
Yes you can wc the xfire setup no probs. Get 2 of the EK blocks.
If you have enough room in the case I would wc the proc aswel. Just get a decent size rad (120.3) if you want the rest speced let us know?
 
OK cheers gary, yeah I was thinking if/when I go for it may as well do the whole set up, even though my CPU cooler is fine at moment if I start doing it may as well do the whole thing. I'll be able to turn the case fans down to low and should reduce overall noise output massively Im thinking. What about the NB? Ive read that if you want to remove your NB cooler to fit waterblock it should be done straight away, if youve been using the board a while it becomes to hard to remove?
