are there any i7 motherboards out there with watercooling on them as standard? O mean, like the Asus Maximus/Striker extreme series.
they had a normal northbridge heatsink, with watercooling connections on it.

I've been looking around for motherboards already, but can't seem to find any. :(
 
I have seen a few on other sockets, although honestly your best bet is to simply buy some waterblocks yourself. This way you have much more of a variety of boards to choose from, and most likely it will be cheaper in the long run. You can buy video cards with waterblocks in place instead of the fan, although they are WAY overpriced.
 
Yeah some motherboards have holes in the chipset heatsinks so you can watercool them, but macbook is right you're better off buying your own, they will probably be better quality anyway

That is the only one I know of but I would do as the others said and just buy your own block and install yourself. What are you doing that you need to water cool your mobo anyway? If you dont put the mobo on it's own loop you will be almost always heating the board up via the cpu and gpu/gpus if applicable.

EDIT: 1366 or 1156? The one I posted above is 1366. Not sure if there is an 1156 version.

^^Agreed^^ I am not even sure I like the waterblock option. Also I read that if you use the giant heatsink it renders on of the PCI-E x1 slots useless cause you cant get to it.
