I have now installed the Thermaltake Big Water on my pc,
I have purchased a danger den Maze4 block for the A8N northbridge and modified it for the 1/4 tubing.. I have added Koolance's nvidia waterblock to the 2 BFG 7800GTX video cards, I am finding however a build up of heat in two places actually 3, the hd's since I have 5 mounted on top of each other, ( two thermaltake 5000RPM fans in front of that..
Heat over the PWMIC bridge, anyway to cool this now that teh SHF is gone inplace for watercooling? and the last place where I find an abnormal amount of heat in the video cards.. the reverse side of the video cards have no heatsink on them after the Koolance was installed. Ideas? I was told to use any old heatsinks for teh mem simms, I think that would be fine except for the last mem module next to the Danger Den chipset cooler.

What can I do to further remove the heat without incresing the noise from the system.?

HELP

I had the same problem after I installed my bigwater, the PWM IC's got very warm. I jury rigged a 120mm fan between the ram slots and CPU, and that cooled everything down nicely, without generating a lot of noise.

EDIT: By the way, I would also recomend replacing the CPU water block that comes with the bigwater. The acrylic cracked on mine, and it leaked all over my video card.
