Now, that looks rather good.
It looks as if they've made their own CPU block; I wonder how it compares with something like a XSPC Raystorm.
I also wonder about the price
What do you think about the board, guys?

Edit: hmmm, upon some searching, it would seem as this isn't actually new news...if so, mods: delete please.

The CPU block they used was a EK.

Nice board though!

Oops! I saw the Republic of Gamers emblem underneath and thought it was part of the board; my bad.

That emblem seems to be on something like a capacitor bank heat sink.

Well i will definatly be buying the board. I have no need to go down the extreme route again. Price wise I think we will be looking at the £280 mark for the formula and £360 for the extreme.

I definetly like the look of this motherboard but I think I'll stick with my P67 Sabertooth for the time being

That included watercooled vrm block looks nice but its a massive disappointment that it has permanent barbs which looks to be for 3/8th tubing. So you can't use any fittings meaning that you have to have a spaghetti styled loop.
