woah. that first overall motherboard picture looked kinda odd. Is it just me... or can you not see any motherboard traces.




I Like Watercooling. D-Tek Fuzion, MCP655, MCR220

Not a board I'd recommend for high end overclocking, but for someone that wants to get a little extra out of their system with air cooling....this is a great board.

It appears as though the final color coat they put over the PCB is that 100% opaque purple color. Looks like it goes right over all of the traces so no, you really can't pick out the traces on the PCB at first glance without getting up close and personal.
Kindof neat if you ask me. Just not a big fan of the purple color. But hey, I'll take the SLI functionality and clean looks/layout at that nice price point anyday!

I also like the way they positioned the CMOS battery vertically like that. Probably makes it MUCH easier to remove. And that Top-Hat BIOS thing is really nifty! It's always nice to see companies still being creative and coming up with fresh, new ideas to make their products unique and innovative! :)
