Hmm nice pipe work well suited for *all* types of extreme cooling. Thanks for the link Azza

Is the bottom board using a TEC on the chipset?

Yes it seems it is.

It is indeed.

The top board has that cool combo cooler that was designed by a guy on XS. Not sure how good an air cooler it is, but atleast they were trying something different.

Aye.

Shamino has done a great job there with that I think. Top notch idea.

Some more pics...

Let add another card...

Still not enough. How about one more...

Foxconn BlackOps Intel X48

The Foxconn BIOS is out of this world. The CPU voltage on the Foxconn BlackOps motherboard can go all the way up to 2.4400V! That is more than enough for 99.9% of enthusiasts out there and it just goes to show how extreme Foxconn is getting about overclocking. The northbridge voltage for the Intel X48 Express chipset goes up to 2.395V, which again is just nuts.

Click to expand...

2.44V !?!?!

You would think that with all the new multiple Graphics card technology they would create a new motherboard standard, Where the motherboard is 2 inchs longer or something, To let us use at least one PCI slot huh?

There is, its called E-ATX.

Reality|Bites · 8 Jan 2008 at 17:39

I thought E-ATX was just wider?

According to wikipedia you're right:

ATX 12 inches (304.8 mm) 9.6 inches (243.8 mm)
EATX 12 inches (304.8 mm) 13 inches (330.2 mm)

Will you be making Bloomfield motherboards, would really like to try one of your motherboards but not switching for a while?
