theres so many hi-res photos on the web..
anandtech..
bi-tech
elitebastards
and XS has so many threads on it..

ofcoz i've seen it and even started a thread in lyn early may. what i meant was what kind of capacitors used in YOUR M2F that bought in MALAYSIA rather than review or sample board else where.

i'm concerning this because review or sample board are showing in used of full red(fujitsu) capacitors where consumer boards are different (red+blue)

take a look at pictures below and go compare with those so call high res photos on the web.

61c is way too high, especially with those heatsink. i start to wonder if those hsf are actually built for fashion.

can someone else comment what's your P45 board NB temp?

61C is okay at 1.35v with 2 hd4870 crossfire..

removing that hsf.. that small block.. at 1.1v will result in 70C...
i tested it already..

dont u know whenever u run dual cards ure NB will increase?? at least by 10C??


Added on July 11, 2008, 12:06 pmROG logo just a light
it started with the striker 2 formula, extreme etc..

the problem is not the the removable NB fins at the top..
its contact between the NB chipset and the whole heatpipe...
so need to unscrew from the back of the mobo..

the thermal tape is good quality so leave it..


Added on July 12, 2008, 10:21 amanother thing dude
if ure not going to crossfire..

this board is not worth it..
