How do you know if a cpu water cooling block will be compatible with a motherboard? I got ASrock X79 Extreme 11 Intel X79 motherboard was looking to get XSPC RayStorm CPU Water/Liquid Cooling Block will it fit on the motherboard? or this one Koolance CPU-380I Intel Processor Water Cooling Block
Answer #1
They should fit any motherboard OK…It just replaces the existing cooler…So it must fit a 2011 soicket.
You just need room for mounting the fan units in your case or outside!

And yes, it appears that the cooler must have the correct mounting bracket especially for the 2011 socket..

Both of those coolers you suggested, say they have the 2011 mountings in their specs.
Good luck, it sounds like a mean build!
