the problem here is that those are DDR2 sodimm slots....]]>Mar 2nd 2009 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/
RAM gets quite hot as well...I had issues with RAM overheating on my 680i chipset motherboard. The memory already had heatsinks, and I had good airflow, but the RAM still got too hot, even at stock speeds. A ram fan blowing directly over top did the trick, forcing air into the little spaces between the DIMMs.

Aside from personal experiences, it's pretty well-kown that OC'd RAM will need additional cooling. Also, there are more memory limitations on SODIMM modules because of their smaller size.

I really don't see how it's practical. Maybe this is just a concept board?]]>Mar 2nd 2009 2:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 2:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 2:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/

I did....it was a common issue on the 680i chipset. That thing was just kinda unstable. I had an Asus model first, and it eventually died, I replaced with an eVGA model, and the RAM did run a bit cooler, but it was still hot (less than 5C difference). RAM compatibility was a royal pain on that thing too. But the performance increase was worth it.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/
I am pleased to inform you that the new improved CIP device will not be overheating and the people of SENGALA will be in your clutch as you proclaim your reign over the entire land.

As for Jack Bauer, he still thinks the device was made by Gigabyte...I pity the fool.

We need to send a herd of cattles and 45 concubines to our dear friends in ASUS

This time, 24hrs wouldnt be enough for madam president to save her people.

Yours faithfully,
Colonel Dubaku.

Considering you can cool the air around the board and nearly freeze the CPU with a quality phase change cooling system for only $800, the price tag on this motherboard will hopefully be closer to $350.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 3:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/Mar 2nd 2009 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/asus-to-showcase-marine-cool-concept-motherboard-at-cebit/
