The ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard is one of the most overpowered desktop platforms out there, which means that it can probably use water cooling, especially if it's used for hardcore overclocking.

EK has just provided a water block for it, or rather a set of water blocks, since there are two parts to it.

The product, called EK-FB KIT ASUS R4BE, directly cools the X79 chipset and the VRM/MOSFETs.

Also, it can cost €104.95 / $104.95 or €114.95/ $114.95, depending on what materials it's made of. Here's a full list.
