New Asus mobos have ram cooling!

[BigCharb]

check this out, new Asus mobos have heat pipes to cool your RAM! thats just crazy but that also means more overclock :twisted: I'm personally going to get that P5K3 mobo. which ones will you guys get?

Oh, in the first link; the "Blitz Extreme" has what seems a stock water block on the north bridge...SWEET

true it may have a heatsink located around the dims. But keep in mind that can block airflow as well. So if there isn't much airflow in the system it can actually turn out to be worse.

Those heat pipes are not for the ram modules. It just connects the top mofset to the larger NB heatsink. I bought Thermalright coolers for both my mofsets anyways. I'm just water cooling my NB and bought a nice SB block.

I don't like heat pipes personally.

I actually just bought a P5K3 Deluxe today. I hope it is as nice as it seems.

What DDR3 did you buy?

I think this is a really crappy attempt to cool the ram and in fact I wonder if the heat from the much hotter parts that are connected would not HEAT the Ram up rather than cool it.

If you want real air cooling via heat pipes and HS's on your RAM which really works the best, the only real way to go is Thermalright.

In fact if you want the best air cooling for CPU/GPU/RAM/MB chipsets/voltage regulators then Thermalright is the answere.

It has been shown that Thermalright MB coolers work far better than the heatpipe coolers that all the MB companys provide with their products.

These heatpipes are not for cooling the RAM!

I have not purchased the DDR3 yet. I am waiting till it comes down in price. 500 bucks for 2 gigs is outrageous.
