I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can't accept for not trying.

As usual..

But i'm not a big fan of watercooling, so I might just give this a pass. Plus, i need a gfx upgrade too.

The water block on nb will not be easily to cool if using air cooling. The temp can reach 60 degree c easily even with active cooling as the water block is designed for water and not air cooling. Thus, the block could not disipate heat as efficient as normal nb HSF.

Well...but no worry. The board is rock stable even the temp shoot up to 70 degree celcius(Asus Blitz Formula and Asus Blitz Extreme)

Hey Guys, I have a quick question on this board. First of all I have never bought a Asus Board and it will be my first time getting it. My question is that the Water-Cooling Setup on this, is this a must use. To make my point more clear, if I don't plan to do Water Cooling, Should I get this Board or Not. If not which board from Asus I should look at. Also I am really Interested in the upcoming X48 Chipset. Any word on that from Asus.

So Please let me know Guys. Thx!
