QUOTE(WhiteFlag @ Sep 4 2009, 05:51 PM) wat is a ICS chip? ICS chips are mainly the clockgen chipset for the mobo... its used to control the frequency of the cpu, usually we use clockgen to squeeze more frequencies but its usually for extreme overclocking purposes, else u wont get much from using the clockgen, a normal bios settings will do n u still haven explain wat do u mean by no pricing yet asus gave me this mobo for review and testing purposes |

QUOTE(shawnlut @ Sep 5 2009, 03:47 PM) I see a backplate on the back of the cpu socket... i believe u will need to buy a mounting kit for it, TR shd come out with something to cater for this, perhaps during i7 they did come out with a new mounting.Just wonder, can we install a cpu cooler that has its own backplate like TRUE 120 ??? |
