I applaud you for actually making a functional heatpipe assembly. Top notch stuff and I hope this could possibly become a future trend if cost isn't too expensive.

why not a separate NB from SB, no heatpipes at all.
do a good NB mini pot, i wouldnt care much about air if this is for extreme people dont do mid things.
I'd definetly put dry ice on it, as over 1.8XX vNB board wouldnt boot.
No.. The liquid would most likely freeze.Quote:

Shimano...
For WC though, use copper and its a really NICE solution.... make one for the Foxconn NForce 590 board.... and if possible UPDATE the bios to include all the settings for the A64 that the ASUS Crosshair board includes.... the Foxconn board would be better than the already excellent product it is now!!!!
Also, let the boyz in the lab know, the Rictek 9715 used for the Vdimm is crapping out and drooping badly at higher Vdimm levels with "D9" ddr2.... just as it did on the DFI NF4-SLR DR boards with BH5 ram.
woudnt they still provide some cooling though simply from the pipes material?Quote:

Is there a CPU version???
CPU? Why do you need one with Gorillakos pots, Kingpin's F1, etc... ;)
ok, I will anodise it copper... is it ok guys?? :ROTF:
Kiddin, I've decided, it won't go out till it's copper, probably full copper.
LOL, copper colored aluminum...who are you, Asus? :p:Quote:

Does the mosfet sink actually contact all of the mosfets very well?
Most of the time i've found the best way to do it is epoxy the mosfet sink to the mosfets. Best contact you'll get without putting on idividual sinks anyways.
youre absolutely right, not just mosfets, especially for heatpiped setup even sometimes NB or SB is not fixed on hard!Quote:

An included mosfet backplate? This thing just keeps getting better. :up:
Good to have the backplate.. dont want it to be a waffle like asus boards lol ;)
awesome!!! :toast:Quote:

he he, the real saaya-style post above ^ :D
I like this concept, just want to see how it works, quickly :up: (and copper FTW :rolleyes: )
that looks great, looking forward to what the finish product will look like
Yes Shamino is worth every $ he gets paid ;)
GOOD for FOXCONN :D
You knew that was a joke, right? :confused:Quote:

It only takes one good product to get us to follow
Why must you crush my dreams??? :(Quote:

making the NB 3-piece may make it even more flexible and efficient for air-

Base+heatpipe+fins - O-ring - walls - O-ring - Top+barbs.
So for air-cooling, it's just the first part - base+hp+fins. No walls obstructing
air-flow. For DI/LN2, screw the walls back. You can also make a special higher
wall with longer screws for DI. For water, just screw the top on the walls.
And another:
a stepped base under the NB/pot for easier insulation?
you mean like this? :)Quote:
