What is the purpose of having the Caps so close to the socket? Also the heatpipe is that actually worth it for cooling? or is it for show

but well, I'm not sad about this :D I think the heatpipes are looking good. acutally I wanted to Watercool the Chipset too. hm :( hey, I still got enough Airflow (overall 6 * 120mm Fan) so this mustn't be a problem ^^
Heatpipes are just for looks till now for intel chipsets.
Yeah I wonder how much of a difference there is in cooling . It seems DFI is not using them at all.Quote:

The Abit AW9D motherboard uses the 975X chipset to support the upcoming Core 2 Duo processors and will be Abit's high end motherboards for Intel's new platform. It supports CrossFire with two x8 PCIe connections and 7.1 channel audio as well.

.The Fatal1ty brand also rests on the FP-A9D motherboard based on the 975X chipset. It will support the Core 2 Duo processors, so this might end up being one of the best boards for gaming we'll soon see, as it has CrossFire support as well.
i like this HDMI

This SFF motherboard is pretty interesting; based off of the Intel 945GT chipset, this 479-pin processor socket board currently works with Core Duo and Solo processors. Support for Core 2 Duo Merom CPUs should be pretty easy to do, as well. Even more interesting is the HDMI output connector on the board that supports 1080p output resolutions

You can see on the board's back panel that both a VGA and HDMI output connector are useable, as are the range of digital and analog audio outputs. This board might be a fantastic HTPC option; we'll let you know when we get one!

The P5W DH Deluxe board seen here also uses the Intel P965 chipset but adds some other features such as a remote control and front panel device for a more HTPC style setup.

Finally, here we see the most ambitious product, self-contained liquid cooling on a north bridge!! Yikes!!

P5W DH Deluxe is a 975X board and not 965. ;)
Would be nice you you would have at least one PCI slot available !Quote:
