Hi again,
i should have this mobo in the next couple of days, so i thought i'd start a thread for it.
I will run it with it's heatpipe assembly untill they bring out a southbridge block that fits, presuming that none will fit atm.
Here's a link to it....

Mine just arrived, i'll take some pics when i get my camera back. First impressions - well it looks awesome. Whereas the Foxconn looks kinda cheap, this screams quality!

The waterblock is removable (the cap) they supply a heatpipe to replace it. They've done something similar on the back mosfet block to., i'll post some pics of it all later on.

I'll try my qx6700 in to start with - for a back to back comparison. But i feel a new quad is needed!
