Maximus Extrem features

[Scarface9]

I am planning to buy an Asus Maximus extreme motherboard, but i have few questions about it...

Do i have to buy an ATI video card as well, since the Asus have the Crossfire feature ? Will it work well with an EN8800GT ?

Also, i see that the board come with a water cooling block, do i have to buy a watercoolong systeme to cool down the board? Even if i am not planing to overclock it yet.

Thanks for reading

Yes it will work with single 8800GT

Yes it comes with a water cooling block, but u dont need to buy a water cooling system to cool it, it will cool without water cooling too

scarface,

I have the extreme and love it. you can have a nVidia card, but no Sli...Ati card only if you want crossfire. Water block use is optional and I have the chipset overclocked to 400MHz 24/7 and I'm not using water.

my system:

qx6850@3.2 (8x400), Cellshock DDR3-1800 (7-6-6-18@1600), evga 8800gtx superclocked
