Sorry I can only go by what's obviously visible on the PR shots. The onboard gigabit NIC really isn't that big of a deal; apart from a few features they are all closely comparable to each other, the true upgrade being one of Intel's PCIe x1 network cards. Still people cry for it come every major board release and ASUS delivered this time.Originally Posted by dctokyo
Any spec list on this board yet? Would love to know more about the Intel NIC, I agree this is a very nice touch
He owns a classified, can you blame him?Why would a big heatsink be needed? From what I understand, the partially digital power distribution components run excessively cool
Seriously though, prior to Tylersburg launch we've been constantly told how the NB is going to run cooler without IMC and it turned out anything but, with boards like MSI eclipse plus nearly cooking themselves at stock settings and heaps of others having similar thermal issues he's justified for being at least a bit paranoid.
