ASRock X58 Extreme Motherboard @ PCShopTalk

AsRock is not known for making boards that are extremely overclocker friendly. So I could see the lack of super cooling on this board. They tend to stay in the lower priced market with lots new options on their boards. So let's read this review to see if they are staying in that model set for them.

"The VRM and X58 chipset cooling solutions are linked together with a heatpipe; I do not consider this a very good solution because, as we already know, the X58 chipset is very hot also, like the VRM, and when we overclock the system and they will transfer the heat from one to another. I would have preferred this board to have some bigger heatsinks, with one or two heatpipes between the VRM and the X58 chipset."

It is not a horrible looking board.
