Iscritto!

Veramente bella motherboard: completa di tutto e molto performante.

[VisioN]

Prezzo indicativo?

[giampa]

al momento dai 320 ai 340 € ( a seconda del dollaro) a meno di non giocare con l' IVA ...

unica domanda e unica risposta sul prezzo, si prosegue solo sul tecnico pena ban immediato ...

[VisioN]

Il sistema di dissipazione montato, almeno dalle immagini, sembra ben più rifinito di quello a cui ci ha abituato Asus...

E' solo un impressione, oppure fa il suo lavoro in maniera dignitosa?

[dinamite2]

sembra davvero ottima da quel che si vede....
Giampa tu che le hai provate entrambi, meglio questa o la black ops?

Il sistema di dissipazione montato, almeno dalle immagini, sembra ben più rifinito di quello a cui ci ha abituato Asus...

E' solo un impressione, oppure fa il suo lavoro in maniera dignitosa?

sì, è fatto abbastanza bene, si può anche ulteriormente migliorare in 5 minuti...
le heatpipes ed i dissipatori sono fissati alla scheda, questa volta, con delle viti a molla tipo quelle delle schede video nVdia, quindi è un attimo smontare levare la pasta originale e sostituire con qualcosa di migliore...
nel mio caso al posto della pasta ho usato il Microcool Termattach T412 per andare in sicurezza senza problemi di elettroconduttività della Silver Arctic che invece ho messo tra il cold-plate centrale delle heatpipes ed il WB northbridge ...
ho anche levato i distanziali in gomma tra i supporti delle heatpipes e la mobo per migliorare il contatto tra le superfici ...
