Asus latest R.O.G board - the Maximus II Formula @ Overclock3D

You just have to love the heatsinks on this board, though I do wonder how well they actually work.

First up the appearance of the Maximus II has improved from some of it's predecessors with a rather mean looking black and red heatpipe assembly. ASUS have also been listening to enthusiasts and have made the cooling system partially modular so the Northbridge finned area of the heatsink can be removed and replaced with a waterblock.

Just about every motherboard in existence supports the replacement of chipset coolers, however the process becomes more difficult when the heatsinks are connected with heatpipes.
