EK Releases FB Water Block Kit for GIGABYTE X99 SOC Champion
EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is proud to introduce motherboard water cooling solution, this time for GIGABYTE X99 SOC Champion motherboard. The EK-FB KIT GA X99-SOC Champion is a complete water cooling solution for GIGABYTE X99 series motherboards consisting of two separate water blocks. Please check our Cooling Configurator online compatibility system for detailed compatibility list.
The water blocks directly cools Intel X99 southbridge (PCH) chip and power regulation (VRM / MOSFETs) module. Please note this water block cools exactly as much heat generating components as GIGABYTE factory cooling solution. It is a high flow water block that can be easily used with systems using weaker water pumps.
Base of the water block is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper while the top is made of quality POM Acetal or acrylic glass material (depending on the variant). The screw-in standoffs are already pre-installed and allow for easy and trouble-free installation by utilizing original motherboard backplates. This water block kit is already available for purchase through EK Webshop and Partner Reseller Network.
Price (MSRP, including VAT): 114.95€

Performance wise I am guessing not? but looks sure would look cool to water cool everything in your computer :)
There must be a demand or they wouldn't make them right?
4 VGAs and a 2011-3 CPU on 24/7 OC can pull more power than most PSUs can provide. 1200W on 4k monitors is easily surpassed. We're talking space heater power, in space heater size. For most users...yeah, watercooling on modern platforms is not really needed. You can build a great system @ < 400W.
This board is all about running high clocks, high power consumption, if any board needs blocks when used right, it's this one (well, and a few others).
