Biostar you dark horse! That first board looks pretty damn sexy. Just swap the SATA conenctors out for 90° ones and you have a top board.

 

[Mr. Popo]

It's more of a mainstream board.

The X38 (Bearlake X) is the High-End chipset.

bearlake and ddr3 what more could u want?

 

[Mr. Popo]

bearlake and ddr3 what more could u want?

a cpu and a video card to go with it?

 

[ionicle]

thats a lot of capacitor's though

didnt someone introduce that lil black strip thing, that needs a heatsink, but does away with caps round the cpu socket?

 

[NickS]

Digital PWM, which as of now provides no advantages over Analog PWM. It's actually worse. It generally runs hotter, etc.

 

[ionicle]

runs hotter, maybe

alows watercooling blocks, maybe

depends which you prefer
