What's this motherboard up to?

Hello all,
This is my first post.
It's the Asus M2N32-SLI motherboard.
why is it that NForce chipsets put off so much heat that they need active cooling or fancy heatpipes (which leads to incompatibility with certain cases) whilst ATI's chipsets need small little heatsinks?
They probably don't, but it's a selling point. Also, it looks like the VRMs that are being cooled there, rather than the chipset.Originally Posted by YorkieBen
Saifful7 is right about the board

Well nearly all the Nforce4 mobos had active cooling, if it wasnt required why did they have them? Im guessing they have a higher tdp than the ATI chipsets?
I have passive cooling on my NF4-SLI chipset, but if I had an ultra-type graphics card it wouldn't fit.

As a selling point, as mentioned
Personally I prefer the looks of something like my Asrock dual sata2 board - passive cooling can look cool
They do look like cooling for the VRMs - similar to gigabytes 955 royale add on if I remember rightly.
Passive cooling on my nForce4 too.
To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
