I suppose I can't water cool with my current motherboard?

I don't seem to have any screw holes for a back mounting bracket to hold a cpu block down.

. I idle at ~55°c

This is a Gigabyte GA-7n400, the one in my sig.

(yes, I just now fixed my TIM issue when I seen this).

Unfortunately, it seems like it. Most of the WC CPU blocks were made for stuff in the last 2-4 years.

Imagine it like socket 370. The HSF latches onto the edge of the CPU socket.

HaHa guys! I do like your humor, and yes, I'm working on a new build. Click my name and check out my 'future rig'...it's still in the works, sorta, since Bulldozer may be available once it's finished.

Otherwise... I ordered a new fan and HS on the recommendation of a poster in the Air forum and have been wondering... once I make the HSF swap, could I get away with lopping off the majority of my old HSF, keeping the slice with the clip, could I bore holes in the leftover and mount a cpu waterblock over that?
