The motherboard might function but general air cooling for graphics and CPU probably wouldn't at approaching 80 degrees... certainly not without making a lot of fan noise!!

Still interesting, it might be more resilient to the heat stress of being heavily overclocked... or for those that live in hot countries and want to run a PC with ambient air temps in the high 30s or 40s (I'm thinking middle east etc).

tbh severly overpriced, just no need to go lynnfield if you are coughing up so much for a mobo.
It does look cool though and the whole 'military grade components' thing does sound nice.

Also asus are using normal looking heatsinks, on there mainstream p55 boards they are using the most stupid looking heatsinks, it actually looks like they are broken
