Doesnt KNC use a standard mounting bracket for their ASIC's? Like a certain socket size so they could use off the shelf coolers.

Yes, but remember the volume of heat you're asking to remove. A 120mm rad per chip running 24/7 with inconsistent ambient is really pushing it long term. And finding somewhere to mount 4x240mm rads.... There isn't currently a reason to go WCing [baring more fires lol].

there are plenty of liquid cooling systems you could use that are 120mm or 140mm radiators that would outperform the arctic air cooling heatsink thats used in the stock system.

even buying four off the shelf corsair h90's would be perfect !   or nzxt kraken x40's...

http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/82-kraken-x40-cpu-cooler

at retail theyd cost you $100 each, total $400... but maybe you could find them cheaper somewhere.

the corsairs are made by CoolIT and the nzxt's are made by Asetek - both excellent liquid cooling companies.

The problem is how we all at forum hold the ASIC  chips with these because dimension I think is 43mm and 43mm square
