To bad they all look terrible!
I can't find words for it...

The IC7 series are awsome compared to these...

I like the idea of the southbridge sink (one less cooling mod I have to do). The Northbridge cooler looks awesome (how it cools might be another story). Wish they would of done something about mosfet cooling. The board is slightly cluttered I guess, but who cares if it works good. Can't wait to try that Grantsdale out.

i was just about to start posting about this.....the southbridge is very original but thats probably the only thing good about it probably wont be any different then the rest of the boards they have out

same as the difference between the 865 and the 875. One is the high end, one is mid to low end
