Well originally my plan was to make a pair of water blocks for my opterons, but I ran out of time in shop class (last work day was friday darn) and I snapped about 3 mill bits because of chatter in the slide table. Anyhow I have the master 2 far and I know it uses a wierd hole setup so which blocks are compatible. I already have one RBX left over from my p4 so it'd be nice if it would fit, but I could always trade it to get a compatible block I guess.

Just wondering if the Maze4 blocks from dangerden will work ok with the xeon lucite top(meaning will it fit both sockets if I use the screw mounting method instead of the p4 bracket)

Yeah I have seen those blocks as well but overall I think I like the Maze 4 because of its low restriction especially when dual procs. I will only be water cooling the processors so there won't be any other restriction to the flow.

Sounds like you have your mind made up. Get the maze4 and post your results.

I have 3 of those boards, and have no problem using waterblocks on 2 of them, just used p4 mounting gear.

478 brackets. I know people are going to laugh at this setup, but I just use the standard koolance tower case and 2 of their cpu blocks, both cpu's are at 38to41 idle, and as it goes higher those fans kick in. Since you cant crazy overclock with this board and cpu, I thought why blast cash at it.

Now if I had a Nforce250 board, and downward spun the multi, I would be looking at something else, perhaps dual phase.
