There are no GOOD blacks as of yet. There are a couple of flow-killers (1/4" tube blocks), but nothing decent yet. I doubt we'll see any as this board's prime has passed with the introduction of the Expert and with new sockets coming. I could even handle the noise if the stock fan actually cooled well.

lunasio makes a block, with 1/2" tube connectors. It does limit flow a little but it works well and its not that limiting. Chipset stays around 32C (full load, processor with a 20% oc) on my setup with that block.

oh and to answer your question, no, well at least as far as i know, because i don't know if you noticed this but your graphics card depending on what it is sits right over the NB ALMOST touching it(about a molecule above it, maaayyyyybe two :p), but yeah you have the GTX which does have that problem sooo i'm thinkin not, sorry

If your worried about flow killing, cant you just put it in parallel with your other blocks?
