    The guy who designed the heatpipe must have thought: "Why don't we make it all around the CPU socket "

    Anyway I don't see any cap around the CPU socket so that might mean it has digital PWM

    My Rig:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
    2x512mb Micron PC3200 OEM D9DQW "Fatbody"
    Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe
    MSI/Medion GeForce 6700XL (Cheap )
    Chieftec 360W (in search for someting better)
    WD 160GB S-ATA

    OMG, that clean CPU socket is almost getting me aroused
    Bring on the LN2


    It's still going to require running a sound card flush up against a physics accelerator card for those who have both. Not something I'd like to do or recommend.


    Damn that socket's cool
