Do we think they're worried about chipset cooling then?

What the???!

It's probably worth £250 in scrap metal value alone!

WJA96 Do we think they're worried about chipset cooling then?

If they were , they sorted it , haven't seen mobo temps above 45C. It feels cooler than the X48T. Whether the 45nm chipset runs cooler don't knowe.

:lol:
Yep

a guy over the way said similar :-

Seriously How big is that cooler. best not let the local ****** know they will have that for scrap value oif the copper alone

The bare board with the Hybrid Cooler fitted, as in Pic above, weigh in at 1.52Kg

I know from the X38 & X48t that gigabyte don't mess about with alloys, but this is serious :lol: Think if you do get one & sellit on you may need to study the copper market as well :eek:

Have just about reached limits on air , will be putting it in my case & on water today or tomorrow I think.

have you clocked it? Whats the max fsb with a quad if you are using one?

RJC · 18 Aug 2008 at 17:52

Blimey huge heatsink!

Is the board a good clocker?

No wonder why is has "Extreme" in it's name.

No sorry no quad tests yet being using E8500. Can run 585x 7.5 easily but memory is the limiting factor , struggling to get it stable above 1150. In 585 can browse etc., without issue but superpi 32m fails at around 5th iteration.
