I'm currently thinking about upgrading my system.
Looking at a E6600/680i Mobo/Corsair Dominator PC2-6400.

I want to drop the components striaght into my current case and attach the W/C to it. My only concern is the cooling of the mobo chip set, with no airflow from cpu cooling will I need to add additional fans? Is it worth adding the chipset cooling to the W/C loop?

Thanks for the replies.
Can anyone recomend a water block for the mobo chipset?

Also I just picked up a gpu block to add this to the loop. If i'm going to W/C the cpu/gpu/chipset is it better to run one loop or dual loops. My set up is D5 pump, PA120.2 radiator and a DD RBX cpu block with 1/2 " tubing. My current idea was to run one loop but pick up a PA 120.3 or similar to add in as well to get better temps. Looking to go SLI at some point in the future so dont mind if I go a little overkill at first.
