Yes! All hail the coming of the age of the common man! Well not so fast: even though the NB & SB will be gone (good riddance), there will always be some kind of bling to separate the top-tier people from the rest of the people, you can be sure of that! Dunno what it will be, maybe a solid diamond cpu block*, who knows, but there will be something, you can bet on it.

@NaeKuh: Sorry for saying you were "wrong", because technically it is a matter of opinion, and you can't really be wrong. And you are right, I should get a custom water block some day, because I luvs me them DFI mobo's and having a full coverage block would be totally sweet. (But only if I can get mine etched with a unicorn.)




*think a diamond water block is crazy? Crazy awesome is what it would be: Diamond has thermal conductivity of 2000 W/mK, whereas Copper has thermal conductivity of 400W/mK, meaning a solid diamond water block would be five times better at cooling than a solid copper block. Oh yeah, and it would need to be about 45 carats, which would cost a lot ($1M?), but it would be the ultimate in cooling and bling.
