ATMINSIDE said:Meh, go with one that's cheaper unless you're going sub ambient or need a specific feature.
huh, not exactly sure what you mean, but we do not want any fighting...ATMINSIDE said:The air cooler part of those will fight the chiller
I will most definitely look into that...ATMINSIDE said:go for a HydroCopper with a real block instead of that half air half water thing?
Meh?
Like, Meh for built in vrm block and/or ROG?
or just like, Meh Meh??
IMO unless you're going LN2/DICE you don't need this board.
And, yeah, haven't seen a MSRP on it yet, Assume its $500+
Grab one of these and a Gaming5 or Gaming7, you'll have plenty of board for your usage.

Does using a chiller count as sub-ambient???
Yes and no. Yes in the fact that you need to insulate. No in the fact that you're only a few °C below ambient and don't need a board built for LN2.
huh, not exactly sure what you mean, but we do not want any fighting...
What I mean is that while the chiller is cooling the water the built in heatsink will be warming it toward ambient.
A radiator works by equalizing the differential between the ambient condition and the water. Technically that heatsink will act as radiator surface area.
Therefore it'll pull the cooled water to a higher temperature in an attempt to equalize temperature.
I will most definitely look into that...
If you want to go mATX with a chiller, grab the K|NGP|N. It has the ability to be used as a single slot GPU
If you're pushing on chilled water though, a Classified would be suggested over a reference design.
Thanks for the feedback ATM! As I have yet to pull the trigger on a purchase, I still have my options open.
Glad I could catch you before pulling the trigger

Im very excited for this build . I have been looking over a lot of these custom builds people are doing and it is getting me all hyped for my own * first * build.
I think the last Rog Mobo is a bit of a waste of money it is a great motherboard im sure but it is similar to the one i looked at by MSI which was the god like gaming edition. way to much overkill for me and my needs but just like the other the RGB feature is pretty nice and unique lol.
im subbing to see where this goes!
keep up the amazing work.
The first and biggest clue was no seal sticker on the box! but you could see where there had be one. second, the static bag is crinkled up on the corners, obviously opened, and has been resealed with a piece of scotch tape!! third, the misc contents underneath where randomly scattered about, with the door hanger on top of it all. and the driver CD appears to have been handled and the CD sleeve was not sealed and came in a plain unmarked sleeve. One of these I could look past, but all of them?
Yeah, most definitely!!...all the 3rd party mumbo-jumbo but really Newegg is doing the same too.
No Sir! If you look at the finished underside pic, see those 4 little guys with the washers, those are the mounts for the I/O cover.ATMINSIDE; said:..Can you put the I/O cover back on now that the block is on?
Yes Sir! Of course.Blaylock said:..Can you share a link here if you test this guy out on The Bianch?
