New Gigabyte G1 Killer Board?

[SieB]

I have a feeling decent integrated sound and network cards are the next big thing from motherboard manufacturers. Looks interesting. Although i'm curious about the water cooling, earlier posts from pcjunkie etc. lead me to believe it's not the best solution. I know very little about watercooling having not done it myself can someone elaborate please?

I think watercooling the motherboard is only worth it if you are doing extreme overclocking or doing it just for the aesthetics.
There is no real need for watercooling a mobo for normal use.

Aye, but you've got to admit it does look pretty sweet (when done right), from an aesthetics standpoint. I think most people that WC their mobos do it for looks and because they have the extra money to do it. (wouldn't that be nice :lol

Cracks me up seeing people water cool ram.

IKR? I've always facepalmed when seeing that. RAM doesn't get near hot enough to warrant it's own water block. People just do it for the looks (which aren't that good, tbh), and IMO it just looks like they want to flaunt how much money they have.

Hey guys was randomly looking for any new Z87 mobo images and stats and came across this http://www.tweaktown.com/news/30105...1-killer-haswell-based-motherboard/index.html

I will more than likely be going for this (would def turn off or remove the vrm fan though) or the new Gryphon ^_^
