Watercooled Motherboards and Heat Dissipation Capacity

Does anyone know of a watercooled motherboard, or a motherboard with watercooling components for the all the major heat producing components that fit the following criteria?

AM2+
4+ DDR2 DIMM slots
2+ PCI-e x16 slots

I've looked at the ASUS ROG lineup and the EVGA hydro classified.

I really like the EVGA Black Pearl motherboard. Does anyone know where I could find anything like that which would fit my criteria?


Also, I was wondering if anyone new the approximate cooling capacity for single, dual, triple radiators under low speed fans.

I'm planning to use two dual radiators (one at the top and one at the bottom of a case) and two single radiators in a sandwich configuration with the fan in the middle.

Would that be enough to cool 125W TDP processor, the different components in a motherboard, and two 5870s. I'm thinking of doing a dual loop with a Primochill T3

LOL the primocrap T3 you might as well use a Y fitting and save yourself $70 and some headache.

Are there any issues with the primochill T3?

The reason I'm considering it is because I have two extra 5.25 inch bays and in my compact case, it takes care of the reservoir and the pump

There are bunch such as leaking, cracking being cheaply made and worst of all it doesn't deliver the performance.

If you try a dual loop performance will suffer as water will take the path of least restriction. I would look something like a MCP355 + XSPC restop or go with something like a T line if you are space limited.

Oh that T3 will also act like a giant speaker for your pump because you will never be able to get out the little bubbles and the pump will have the annoying hum hum hum....

I had the T3 for a week and it was an absolute FAIL for me. Not that it leaked or anything but i just don't like cheap crap in my computer. If you HAVE to get the T3 just don't use their fittings because they will leak and are a pain in the ass to get them out a total joke really.

Do some research on your own and you will know what i mean. Good luck with your build.
