COMPUTEX 2007: Asus shows off its new M3A32-MVP with integrated memory heatpipes that will keep your memory extra cool, you'd hope...

Someone out there NEEDS it.

I really just wish some MFG's would either DFI it (install your own NB!) or offer cheaper boards with JUST mosfet cooling, and let us pop on our own nb/sb stuff -or at least active cool it. I hate having to peel EVERY heatsink off the damn mobo when i want to change the nb/sb sinks.

Was thinking about heatpiped memory modules a while back.. guess someone else thought about it but got the jump on me in terms of getting the idea out under their name...

SteveyG · 6th Jun 2007, 11:13

Looks like a very sexy board

Finaly a new AMD motherboard again! like it!

I was getting sick of the hundreds of crap intel boards

DXR_13KE · 6th Jun 2007, 12:14

is this really necessary?

Almightyrastus · 6th Jun 2007, 14:10

probably not but I kinda like the way it looks

Paradigm Shifter · 6th Jun 2007, 15:54

An interesting idea, but will probably gain as much market dominance as those memory modules with watercooling heatspreaders attached...

Jipa · 6th Jun 2007, 23:01

That's supposed to COOL the chips? More likely to heat them up compared to having no heatspreaders at all. According to my experiences the memory chips heat up wayyyy less than those heatpipe-systems on mobos. Maybe some clockers might find it handy? Likely not as they already have proper memory-coolers and the ones on the mobo will only make it harder (or impossible) to install the sticks.

Just a marketing trick IMO.

Well they could always conect all of the cooling together. have the heatpipe conect the RAM, Chipset, GPU or GPUs, then have some huge fan like 2 x 120mm fans cooling the whole thing

revlimit · 25th Jun 2007, 05:55

This would be nice if they combine this with the Asus Blitz motherboard with the watercooling for the heatpipes.

kempez · 25th Jun 2007, 17:46

I'll be honest...

manufacturers need to accept that the hottest and most troublesome thing on a modern board is the chipset. How about making cooling that does that right and let memory manufacturers worry abou cooling thier own products?

Amon · 25th Jun 2007, 17:52

I'm presuming the voltages at which necessitate those heatpipes are in the 7-20 volts range, am I wrong?

Agreed

The X38 chipset is twice as hot as the latest VIA C7.
