So THAT"S what they were doing with the spare F-117 parts. :p:

WTH Is that HSF !!

Holy heatsink batman!

[PrometheusCon]

pci-e slots look too close to each other. :-/

[Atal]

OMG!!!!! pleasee stop it with the heatsinks!!

WTH! its so big! What's with the HSG mobo madness?!

[ANP !!!]

Omfg !! what's the weight of that HS ?? 5kgs ?

[Nicksterr]

ok, so why are the manufacturers making heatsinks bigger for a chipset produced on a smaller production process?

That thing on top is probably just fancy plastic, or something. Hopefully.

[Polizei]

Boards look identical except for cooling.

I thought DFI had a patent on that... The whole same board, different cooling thing. :rolleyes:

[Mindfield]

Does that heatsink deflect radar signals? :/

Interesting they went back to analog pwm.

[Kingcarcas]

Look at what you've started Asus :down:

[DFI pit bull]

That heatsink looks odd.

[Kai Robinson]

The Pro is DDR2 - look at the memory slots.

[largon]

Ugh.
I need to stop reading news about new MBs as I've decided to restrain myself from getting another board until Nehalem comes.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

At least the NB and PWM sinks aren't connected.

[Kai Robinson]

I'm getting all excited about the P45's as i'm still on the old P965, and rather than be an early nehalem adopter, i'd rather upgrade now to an E7200 and a P45 board (check ocforums intel cpu thread for the MENTAL overclocks these little buggers are getting!) than potentially get caught out with the next gen u-arch. I'm still only on DDR2 as well, and i'd rather not shell out all over again for memory thats working fine and is even underclocked on this board....i dont see the point in going for DDR3 for the sake of it!

Ok, now this is what people just never understand.

Firstly, MSI have already stated that the P45 runs 10 degrees hotter then the P35 used to, so that they needed a better cooling solution for this reason.

Secondly, the extravagent heatsinks you are seeing these days on motherboards allow that motherboard to run with a 500+ Mhz FSB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(look at my sig ffs)

Motherboard manufacturers are catering for ENTHUSIASTS that overclock their PC's with these boards. If you dont overclock, you can pick one of the bottom end boards that have next to no passive cooling on them.

Not everyone plonks a phat water cooling thingy onto their northbridge, or pays £200 for the Asus / Foxconn X48 boards, when you can pick up a P35, or soon a P45 and do the same thing for half the cost lol.

Sorry if P35's and P45's overclocking to 500 Mhz on their stock passive heatpipes without requiring any modification or H2O is too Xtreme for you people on this forum :rofl:

But honestly, this Abit board looks nowhere near as good as the Asus and MSI ones, so I wont be buying it. MSI so far have the best passive cooling out of all of the P45 boards announced so far on their P45 Platinum.

:down::down::down:

/me scratches off the P45

[SiGfever]

If the IP45 Pro is anything like the IP35 Pro it will be a great board. Looking forward to test results.

[Nelly]

To be honest, I coudnt give a crap how a motherboard looks i.e. look at Gigabyte boards crap colors in my opinion, or if a heatsink is huge or small, how many of you spend your time looking in your case than looking at your screen?

What matters is that your hardware performs to the best of its ability, besides if you compare one P35 chipset board against another in terms of performance you woudnt notice it in everyday use, gaming? maybe 1or 2 fps - big deal.
Abit IP45 GT3: Intel P45 DDR3-1600, ATi CrossfireX Support. The pics shown in this thread are 2 months old, going back to CEBIT 2008.

MSI so far have the best passive cooling out of all of the P45 boards announced so far on their P45 Platinum.Most of the common known P35 chipset boards will reach 500 FSB with a dual core, even the cheaper budget ones such as the Asus P5K-E, Abit IP35-E, MSI P35 Neo2-FR etc etc.

I agree fully with what bhavv says, except for the fact that I haven't seen any test results yet, has anyone else??

MSI, Gigabyte, DFI, Abit, Foxconn etc etc P45 chipset boards are hopefully coming out within the next few weeks, untill then no point having a biased view towards whats best.

[strange|ife]

haha NASA tech

the analog pwm has me a little worried, hope this board performs.

[Mungri]

There arent any results yet unfortunately, but the 2x 8x PCI-E is a lot faster then the 16x and 4x combo on the P45. There was a review I posted somewhere that compared the MSI P35 Platinum to an Asus with dual 8x slots. The Asus completely obliterated the MSI in crossfire benchmarks.

Anyway, like I have said, I will wait for MSI to release a mid range P45 like the P35 neo 2 - FR and do another upgrade and sell. The P45 Platinum will be over £100, the Neo 3 is cheapo.

I have actually turned my FSB down to 450 Mhz now as the CPU isnt very stable at 4.25 Ghz, and my ram can run at 1125 Mhz on 450 Fsb with a 4.05 Ghz CPU clock. Also, I was Bsoding with my FSB at 500 Mhz with stable ram and CPU @ 4.0 Ghz lol.

So maybe the Platinum version with the lolercoaster would have been more stable then my Neo 2 at 500 Mhz, who knows :shrug:

[Neuuubeh]

wow these heatsink really threw me off oO. Thought p45 is supposed to be running cooler than x38/48 :x. I dont mind it looking huge, but this kinda stuff looks quite limiting :d must be a hell to mount a larger CPU cooler in a crammed case with this thing (especially Gigabytes copper grill ;x)
anyhow, whats the actual difference between x38/48 and p45?

The P45 Platinum will be over £100, the Neo 3 is cheapo.I'll probally wait to see if if theirs a Asus P45 P5Q3 Premium, if they do will probally be a month or two after the Deluxe is released. I'm also keen on the Abit P45 GT3, the MSI P45 Neo3-FR & to be honest I'll look with keen interest at Gigabytes offerings too.

I've only ever owned Asus or Abit motherboards over the last 10 years or so & I'm usually biased towards Abit motherboards but may look for something different for a change.

Again, each to their own but I always got for stability 8 hours either with OCCT or Prime95. If its not stable its not stable end of. :yepp:

[ea6gka]

still 6 sata....

[Mungri]

I went ahead and got an X48 ....

I couldnt wait. Just as I couldnt wait for the 4800's. My monies got burned by impatience :(

[G80]

Looks like the heatsink is made out of lead. Radioactive mosfets?
