I took off the heatpipes. I was dissappointed to see that teh Heatsinks on the NB and SB were not making proper contact.It was time for some AS5 treatment.
I would suggest all those who get this board,better check yours too. Cos trust me this thing does get pretty damn hot !
Nvidia used 590 SLI as SB !!!:S :S No wonder the 680i chipset costs more than 975X hyeah:
Also look at the SB heatsink,what were Asus Engineers thinking ? how can that tiny thing keep 590 SLI cool ? for god sakes, it was the TOL chipset of the Nforce 5 series chipsets.
The heatsink on the NB could also have been bigger. Also this time around,Asus hasnt bundled the tiny fan they used to provide to fit over the VRM Heatsink
