Here's some pics for the up and coming new mobos shown off at computex LINK Personally I think the design of the asus heatpipes are a piece of shit! I mean the solution to a stable pc is to have your components nice and cool and with heatpipes you ain't gonna keep anything cool especially if they are spreading between the North Bridge, South Bridge, Voltage Regulators and RAM! these people must be smoking something... -------------------- Jou ma se Balhara, I'm classified as a coloured!

Judging by the attachments I'd say that the bottom ones are watercooled? The top ones are a bit daft though, considering there doesn't seem to be any outlet for the heat.
And why put the pipe right next to the RAM? It looks as if the stick in the first channel will almost touch that pipe

that is the whole point they want to put a heatpipe on your heatspreader so that all the heat can spread evenly... terrible idea as those heatpipe does NOT solve heat issues but merely spreads it around the entire mobo

Doesn't really appeal to me either, I love the fact that heatpipes are quiet, but that's just going overboard.

it may be quiet but there's my own experience with the P5B-Deluxe board and the heatpipe on that board:
without that ditzy fan to blow some sort of air onto the voltage regulator my NB heatsink sat at 79 degrees on a normal 26deg day. I cannot place that fan on to the vreg HS (my radi is in the way) so I added a antec Spot cool  blowing FULL speed directly onto the NB. The temps coming out from the NB settled at 50degs. Surely using so much copper on a mobo tends to drive the prices up a tad no? |

I agree that the heatsink/heatpipes aren't that appealing but they must work or else they wouldn't get it through testing without something going wrong
