coolest mobo ever

[saltynay]

look at the heatsinks on this if only they did it with a silver coloured heatsink then I would definitely buy this board

Full Solid CAP and big heat-pipe MB on Intel platform – MSI P35 Platinum first look - XtremeSystems Forums

whoa....that looks awesome. I like that heatsink design, on the northbridge.

five fans and a 4 or even 6 pin power for processors...

nice, high end mobo around $300+ though

 

[peterhuang913]

someone in the forum mention a red button to clear the cmos, thats an improvement

wish it was AM2+, then this would be the best mobo for me to get instead of the RD790, which has PCI-E 2.0 n HTX 3.0.

Pop that sucker off the board and go find your local electroplating service. It's copper... so it's ready to go with anything you want to plate onto it. Nickel and chrome, just nickel (kind of like chrome only a little brassier in color and not as reflective, very cool)... check out what they have available. Pretty sure there's plenty of options, and dropping a thin layer of plating on that sink won't affect the heat dissipation by enough to worry about.

Gotta love those loops. Very cool.
