Frog Hunter Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 It be nice to have a heatpipe on the board instead of fans. Thats the only good thing about the Asus boards. :tooth: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
watsonte Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 But heat pipe doesnt allow for BTX configurations, or atleast physics limits it...I like the fan, a passive solution would be nice but hey, you cant have everything, and these boards arent even out yet, and seeing that the fan is on the lower side of the motherboard it appears as though a passive cooler might fit just fine.

watsonte Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Looks like I am giong ATI once this stuff starts making some progress.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Hmmm...seems like a lot of empty space on that board, and there isn't much thats been sinked (yet). As for the heatpipe cooler...I'm opposed since I have a Lian-Li (upside down) case, and they're tougher to get off and replace I'll bet.

RobPuba Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 I like the layout too, but...if these is a pre release model, i hope they change that PIECE OF . chipset cooler...we are sooooooo fed up with that crap. AMEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoL-Shiver Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 well here's how this works lol back in the NF2 and NF3 days, everyone complained that we only included a cheap aluminum sink instead of an actively cooled solution like everyone else we told you then "if we give you a fan, then it will break down and we'll get swamped with RMA's because this is exactly what has happened with Abit, Asus, Giga, etc, everyone that offers an active colling solution" you said "nuh-uh no way we want a fan!" and we said "ok, here it is" and you all now say "this PIECE OF #$^@#$ SUX I DON'T WANT IT I WANT SOMETHING BETTER!!!" and then so we would say "ok, we'll include this Evercool and jack the price up $10" and you would say "ok this is great!" and then a couple of months later you would say "THIS PIECE OF @#%@#$ SUX I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE I WAN'T THE NOW!!!" and we'd say "ah, but this is why never wanted to do this in the first place because we know these are modder's dreams, overclocker's love affairs, and the first thing anyone that this board is targeted at will do is change teh cpu cooler to aftermarket, change the chipset cooler(s) to aftermarket, and whatever else they don't like about the board" - tell your boys at dfi, that we want heatpipe. although, yes, those wit Lian li's might have a hard time, i dont see why every other manufacturer would stick copper heatpipe solutions, and we get the PoS magnet bearing fan. but, i guess i;d obviously give that up for dfis performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
