The water channel is under the metal plate:
55°C for VRMs is pretty good, especially given your OC. IIRC they are good up to 120°C before they start to throttle.

Yep, the EK block cools the VRMs. I triple checked before i bought my EK block (acrylic/copper) as that was a deciding factor for me.
At 1200/1700 1.187v, load is 38C core and 53C on the VRMs.....pretty good if you ask me?
VRMs are rated up to 120 C anyway so you have plenty of headroom. In comparison, the VRMs on my 5870 with EK block hit 65C.
On topic, this Swiftech block looks pretty sweet....$150 seems pretty steep though (for me at least)
