Northbridge -
Look how small the Northbridge aka C51 Chipset is...lol
The VRs didnt have any Thermal Paste.It had some pad.
Couldnt control myself,i had to rip it off to see what exactly was under it that could do 300x5 HTT.
Not that i didnt know but still,didnt have anything better to do and had also disassembled system to mount TT-BT...
Darky agree.. mobos are my weakness as well... Just have to have a new mobo...
Generally I prefer Asus and MSI for the sheer build qual and flaunt value .. I only go for high end boards...
Thanks for the link... may give this board a look after all... I guess it depends more on what card one invests in...
I'd go with an X1900XT or 7900GT now if I had to buy...I am poor though hyeah: ..
Right now I have 2 top end boards the Asus 925X premium and the 875P neo. Probably the best of their gen's..
Looking for another high end beauty..
Looks heavy that HS does.. is it?? I have used an SLI premium but not this one.. The SLI premium was an A+ class board IMO.
