I agree with Nate, He has the same MoBo and will be the one to definitely help you on his first hand knowledge and experience on this beast. If you like, You can ask him a picture of his build where his water cooler was incorporated to the cross chill block.

Here is a pic, magishine you'll need an expandable cpu cooler if you want to do this.

Thanks for the Initiative in posting that out Nate, That surely helps and inspires other MF8 user's out there, and as soon as I got my replacement Mobo. I would like to ask some tips and Information about your set up and will most likely follow your suggestions on how can I run it properly. I will need some tips on what driver version and apps are you using and the BIOS version as well if this does not bother you. Thanks!

And to Magishine, That was definitely an awesome build and will be more awesome if you decide to utilize the cross chill block. Good Luck and more power!

Last minute advice.....hmmmm..... dont blow yourself or the gear up! LOL Good luck. looking forward to seeing some benchmarks. The 6700Ks generally OC fairly decent. Pretty good chance you can get to at least 4.5 GHz with little effort. Mine is sitting at 4.6Ghz but I think once I can the AIO corsair H115i cooler that I can get the temps down and squeeze out 4.7 GHz. Ive managed to get the clock there but couldnt keep it stable for the rising temps. May try delidding it too.
