Asus Maximus Formula - specs and pics
Written by John M   

"As you can see from the board shot above, the Maximus Extreme has some rather extravagant chipset cooling and just as with the Blitz Extreme you can run is passively or with Asus’ Fusion Block watercooling. Asus supplies a bag with various adapters for the most common watercooling systems so that you don’t have to go out and spend extra money to make the Maximus Extreme work with your watercooling kit"

Not only does the waterblock take care of the X38 chipset, it also reaches the southbridge as well, through two heatpipes going from there to the big heatsink covering  it. 

The motherboard has two x16 slots (the blue ones) which are both PCI Express 2.0. It also features two PCI slots and to two x1 PCI Express slots. The version of the Maximus Formula which supports DDR2 memory is already on their site for browsing.

Asus wants this board to be a good overclocker (they say to have already hit some very high speeds with it) and one can only wonder if they aren't going to use the X48 here.
