Voltage regulator cooling on Asus Rampage V X99

[harikirirocker]

I'll be building my new rig with the Asus Rampage V X99 mobo:

My question is, since it looks like Asus already puts their Direct CU and Extreme engine Digi+ IV cooling systems on their for their voltage regulators, will I need any additional cooling for those? I play on using a liquid cooling solution for my CPU, and I've read that generally voltage regulators need to be cooled separately, but since it appears they have already taken care of that, I'm guessing I don't need to.

Any input on this is appreciated. Also, general comments on the Mobo are welcome too, if you own one. Thanks!

The general suggestion is to have some air flowing around that area, just to help the air move a bit (the CPU fan would normally do this). If you have any case fans near this (e.g. the exhaust fan, or a top fan), then that would likely be fine.

So, they do have aftermarket blocks for the VRM & MOSFETs. I still don't know if it's NECESSARY though.

For reference, this is the case I'm going to be using. Radiator&fans will be attached to the top of the case.
