Always trying to learn more and more, I stumbled upon this board...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ..._re=ASRock_x58_extreme-_-13-157-189-_-Product

Yes, it's ASRock. But, ... I am trying very hard to give this a chance to argue against the Asus P6X58D.

Look at the heatpipe assembly on this thing's chipset!? Does anyone have this board?! What can You tack on there as far as an aftermarket HSF?

Also, if someone could lay out the pros / cons of this board vs the ASUS counterpart, I would appreciate it! Thanks!
 
I don't own one, but it looks like it has adequate room around it to put the big stackers on it, but maybe not a push/pull configuration on the fans..
