ASUS Maximus II Formula Intel P45 Core 2 Extreme

$349.00 Est. at Amazon

from TNReview, www.newegg.com
i had to (after removing that beautiful stock heat sink) add a water block to the north bridge, and a small active cooler to the southbridge to get the temps to where they needed to be.
from BlackHeart, www.newegg.com
mother board 32 c, northbridge 42 c, southbridge 42 c and the power supply 34 c.
from www.amazon.com
as many have reported, you may need to tighten up the heatsink assemblies or re-apply thermal compound to the heat sinks if your northbridge or southbridge temps seem to be running high.
from Inestimable, www.newegg.com
this also uses the up to date ich10r southbridge, that you do not get with x48.
from mksj, www.newegg.com
pros: went together very nicely, lots of features, did not experience any excessive heat problems with the southbridge or northbridge.

EVGA 132-BL-E758-TR x58 SLI Mainboard

$283.00 Est. at Amazon

from Tiberius, www.newegg.com
also, speaking of that heatsink, it seems very flimsy and i felt like i had to be careful around it to avoid it breaking off.i'm not really sure what the point is of the heatsink on the southbridge.
from Archanglelboy, www.newegg.com
i'm tempted to believe 3 established programs over the board.a lot of well-known online reviewers don't like the jmicron sata controllers that take over after ich10r southbridge.
from Ken, www.newegg.com
would have been better if they made an all in one heatpipe much like asus does that connects the vregs, northbridge, and southbridge together.

ASUS MB P5KPL-CM C2D LGA775 INTELG31 ICH7 DDR2

$63.00 Est. at Amazon

from Mitchell Hennessy, www.newegg.com
i thought the southbridge was ich7r, but asus disabled the raid/ahci option on this board (to ich7), so that the sata devices aren't hot-swappable.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
cons: overclocking selection kinda leaves me scratching my head; you have memory voltage (1.8 - 2.0 and 2.5v) fsb termination voltage 1.3 and 1.4v) southbridge and southbridge 1.25 voltages but no
from XtremePower, www.newegg.com

from just4ever, www.newegg.com
i love the look of the northbridge and southbridge heat sinks too.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
cons: the north and southbridge heatsinks run pretty hot(it burns your finger if you touch it for a few seconds) the heatsinks get in the way of some cpu coolers if they have pipes sticking outwards,
