How do you all keep dual OC GPU cards cool? I don't see how you can put them under water given the spacing on the mobo, I have not done much research but I am planning on doing dual 7950's.

look at the air cooler on your gpu. The fins are like an inch tall off of the card, not to mention the fans. If you take that off you basically have the chipset and mosfets sticking off the pcb. The WC blocks aren't as thick as the heatsink fins and fans.

They are a lot smaller when you're watercooling since it doesn't have those big coolers and I'm pretty sure the x79 board are bigger than z77.
If your cards are 2 slot then they'll fit fine, but they will run hotter on air since once card won't get sufficient air. You should still be able to OC both just fine though

Yeah, full cover blocks are very thin, and they each have 2 inlets and 2 outlets which helps accommodate spacing issues depending on whether you go with barbs or compression fittings. With dual cards, you could go with parallel cooling in your loop. It would look like this (referring to the cards only, not the reservoir and other stuff):
You need a good pump to maintain flow in the rest of the loop, as the water will take the path of least resistance first. Still debate over series vs. parallel. But the second card in a series will tend to run hotter by about 3 degrees, sometimes higher depending on the rest of your setup.
