Blocks for Rampage V Extreme

[otacon]

Hi! Quick question: I'm planning a build with the Rampage V Extreme and want to use

• Bitspower Summit EF for the CPU and
• EK Mosfet Block for the motherboard,

but I'm not sure if those two will fit on there together, as the Bitspower block seems wider than EK's Supremacy. Has anyboday by any chance any experience with this combination?

Thanks!

I am not a great fan of watercooling motherboards but if you are going to do it have you thought about this -

I know there is no point in it; I'm just doing it for the looks! more holes to stuff thing into

The standard heatsink-shroud thingy that ASUS has done here just isn't to my liking. It's my OCD kicking in, the shroud over the back i/o is too large and comes too close to the ram sticks for my liking, making for an asymmetrical look. If there were a good looking, aftermarket passive heatsink, that only covers VRMs, I'd probably go for that. But that doesn't exist to my knowledge.

As for monoblocks, I don't like them at all. They cover too much of the motherboard and look kinda strange, imho.
