    @wilson,

    the only difference is the physical 'build' 'QUALITY' of the specific chip.

    think of it....... as gold (x48) vs silver (x38)

    Fan CTRLr: Sunbeamtech 'Rheobus Extreme' (w/Minor Superficial Mods)

    Thanks those who posted temp numbers.

    How is the Asus warranty policy when it comes to changing the chipset cooling? Will it void it? If it doesn't I'd get an actual Rampage, but if it does void it, there's really little point in not getting a maximus instead and flashing it to a rampage. Assuming the NB is the same quality of course.
