The chipset on the motherboard are usually cooled passively, or by a small (noisy) fan. Under normal circumstances, this will provide sufficient cooling.
But in overclocked systems, it may be on the low side when the heat generation increases and the temperature rises. Especially if you want a passive system and / or do not have much airflow in the cabinet. Then you need to consider water cooling for your system.
A water cooling block needs no airflow to cool the chipset, plus it cools much better than conventional cooling solutions. This will give you both peace of mind and increase your overclocks!
EK NB / SB blocks are made to provide high performance and minimal restriction, so your chipset gets superior cooling without affecting your flow significantly!
The block has a bold Acetal top - it not only looks super cool but is also extremely rugged!
This block is made to NB and SB on the Asus, Abit, DFI, EVGA, Gigabyte, XFX motherboard, among others.
