I don't like the look of it, it's an awesome board performance wise and for what it is, I just don't like the way it looks.

I can't belive they really put the battery under a heat sink

 

[SparkleDJackson]

I think it looks crap. Its the giant finny heatsink that turns me off and seeing the battery underneath just looks dumb it needs a well designed waterblock and processors that actually overclock to be worth the investment

Great board......well once they sort the BIOS issues out

Wait, do the E5's support overclocking? I thought I had heard that they did not. Or are they releasing some that do?

Unfortunately not

just seems after all this wait, so many things are wrong about this board e.g. funny colouring, odd battery placement

Yeah, some early sample pictures shows part of the heatsink removed, exposing the battery but i guess it may be accessible by removing heatsink from the back of the motherboard

Which would be a pain like Tom mentioned in the video

 

[proffesorDub]

im sure it is accessible otherwise i will be even more perplexed, it just will be such a faff to keep removing the heatsink

But then again it could have been the only place they could place the thing.

For ages I waited for this then no overclocking was a deal breaker. Brilliant for what it is, just no fun if there is no point putting water through it!

 

[proffesorDub]

well considering the placement of the sockets, you may have to put it under water as it could get to be a squeeze t'otherwise

 

[coolmiester]

You can easily stick a small screwdriver through the heatsink and pop the clip on the battery and it jumps out, plus its got a 3 way BIOS switch so its not like you will need to do it very often

 

[proffesorDub]

well there we go someone thinking practically
