Intel is going to be pushing BTX as the new MB standard, and it looks pretty good from what I've seen, mainly due to the setup the cpu is in a diffrent area (well everything is in a diffrent area) but the cpu is positioned to get the cool intake air before anything else as it enters the pc.
Question being...
Considering the larger heatsinks like the xp120 and the like, how will this new form effect what heatsinks you can buy being some of these barely fit on the boards we have now, much less ones where the cpu is in a diffrent location and also rotated.
Does anyone know if the upper end heatsink manufactures are working on new top of the line heatsinks for this new standard or is anyone who buys a BTX board going to be out of luck for decent cooling and stuck with stock for 6 months after BTX becomes more widely available?
