Water block recommendation for xtreme x99 bundle

[TheRedScot]

Hello, just about to purchase the xtreme x99 bundle, but when i called overclockers earlier i forgot to ask for a recommendation on water block for the cpu. And would you recommend watercooling the board also.

I'm completely out my depth here and probably should be buying a pre made system but wheres the fun in that.

any input on water blocks would be great

Not quite 8Pack, but got some watercooling experience
Which exactly bundle? Can you link it?
Most high-end motherboard are very well cooled on the VRMs. If you feel like you want to watercool it, then go for it. I haven't bothered myself, even though my CPU (Z170 XPower + i7 6700K) runs fine at 5.0GHz. Just don't forget it is hell lots of a hassle. And if I were to watercool my motherboard, I'd probably do a secondary loop for it.

That's a block I would get for X99 based CPU:

Got similar myself, but for 115x socket.

I actually prefer just the CPU water cooling with the EK EVO block. The full cover blocks for me look great and work well but CPU temps are compromised.
