ASUS has presented a whole bunch of new products during Computex and its motherboard assortment is a story of its own. We reported about its ASUS R.O.G. Blitz Extreme a while back, which uses water for cooling the P35 chipset and this motherboards has been getting a lot of attention during Computex. Except from the water cooling the motherboard sports a whole bunch of heatpipes for cooling the hot components of the board and to be honest, heatpipes seem to be stuck inside ASUS’ head. At HotHardware they’ve namely published a sum up of ASUS’ motherboards at Computex and it is a complete orgy in heatpipes.
ASUS has been connecting northbridges with southbridges and voltage regulators for some time now. Heatpipes have found their way on to practically every new board ASUS has to present, but with some of the new models things have really gone extreme. ASUS has namely designed a heatpipe cooling system for the memory modules.
An exciting development, but ASUS has managed to trump its own invention by simply integrating 2GB DDR3 memory on to the circuit board. We’ve seen a couple of reports of this motherboards, but no seen any actual details. Whether this is an actual product for ASUS to launch is impossible to say, but if so, you can count on plenty of heatpipes.
ASUS seems to have some great plans for its motherboards, but considering it is the biggest manufacturer of motherboards in the world, we should perhaps have expected it. Those who wants to see more of ASUS’ assortment at Computex can head over to HotHardware’s article, while we’re awaiting more information on ASUS’ coming DDR3 motherboard.
