They should add an extra detachable heatsink that you can screw into the motherboard once you've fitted it to your case.

A bit of heatpaste and screw it to the motherboard heatsink between the USB ports. Could even add a fan to it, for a bit of extra cooling to that motherboard plate. If it had heatpipes going through the plate that all meet at that point, it would work quite well

I fear the current design may actually just keep heat IN

This is why I love my P67 Sabertooth! If only Asus did a mATX version, my HTPC would have one too LOL but for now the Gene suffices!

Do like the look of the Sabertooth but the built in wi-fi on the P8Z77-V DELUXE would be quite useful, ah if only we had some concrete pricing!

I love the way you say 'take the wraps off' when most of the board is hidden
My mate has the p67 sabertooth and its a swine for keeping the heat in... motherboard temps are sky high!

[bobfoc]

Ahhh man.... ASUS covered the board with plastic heat traps AGAIN!!!!

Thought they were done with this foolish tom foolery

If it were genuinely such a great idea.... how come their top end Rampage boards never have them.....

Nuff said!

Can't wait too get this beast.

This is a must for my next PC...Asus never let me down

I went with the Asus Maximus V formula. Its been great and really liked the thermo fusion. Worked well because i was planning on water cooling anyway. Temps are nice and low.
