Sneak peak at forthcoming MSI P35 Platinum mobo

MSI at the end of the month are releasing a new motherboard based on the forthcoming P35 intel chipset.

They have allowed us to post a little taster video showing the board design however we aren't allowed to detail anything else right now!

To view the video, follow this thread from the front page into our forum!

I do hope that those heat pipes won't get too hot to melt insulation from cables. That 12V 8-pin connector is really in dangerous place from my point of view. I would be happy if MSI would move it some where else. Anyway can't wait to see the review.

hackerx is on a distinguished road

The heat pipes are sick
but this obviously points to the fact that the P35 is a hot running chipset
so overclocking may be hampered

any idea how many sata/usb ports the ICH9 southbridges provide?

i know you guys are busy, but would it be possibe to get an overview of the 'bearlake' chipset & its various iterations before the review?
of course i understand you not wanting to repeat yourselves, just having a hard time finding anyhthing really definitive on this chipset.

The NDA does expire on May 9th correct? Hopefully their P35 'lollercoaster' board will OC better than their other LGA775 offerings.

EDIT: referring to MSI boards.

Bout time someone came up with a more AREA use for chipset heatsinks and thought 3 demensionally.

the only issue i foressee is that users with massive heatsinks aren't going to be jumping and happy when they try to install either the heatsink (to big) or can't get there hands in there to push the clips down into place.

I wish more manufacturers would go the non silly heatpipe route like DFI. Just use a simple heatsink and fan if possible.

A simple heatsink and fan would be nice for oem or manufacturer or typical users (non overclockers or moders for that matter, or those unlikely to load the system to the max with hardware and other things).

But this MSI board would be something that i would like.

sorry i meant a small fan if needed. Those silly heatpipes are useless. DFI has never used any silly heatpipes that connect all the chips + mosfets and they generally have the best overclocking boards out there. I actually wish manufacturers would provide mobo's without any heatsinks, just so i could use my own. And not have to cut all the heatpipes like i do on my motherboards because it is impossible to remove them otherwise....

Gigabyte and Asus will also have plenty of heatpipes cooled and heatsinks on their new Intel chipset boards if they releases the retail version of the board that are having same design as the review version i've seen on the internet.

The white power-plug at the top left seems a bit "crammed" with those pipes running almost on top of it.
