Hi I'm looking to make a very small water cooling system pc as a pet project. The motherboard I'm looking at is "Intel BOXDQ45EK LGA 775 Intel Q45 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard". I'm sure I can put a cpu waterblock over the cpu. But that chip with the ugly heatsink on it (I assume its the Southbridge) doesn't seem to have any holes to support a chipset waterblock. Is it possible to mount a waterblock on it at all? Thanks for any inputs!!!
Is there a waterblock for this mobo/chip?

The heatsink in on your northbridge the Q45
The exposed chip that says "Intel" on it is the Southbridge
And no you're not going to have luck with a water block. You could put a new heatsink on it though.

Kinda a waste though
