Extreme!!

So ASUS just released the news on their latest 1366 board (that’s for i7 CPUs, while i5/i3/few i7 are on 1156), and it has one of the nicest heatsink design I’ve ever seen.

Of course, it goes way (way!) beyond a fancy colour theme. It has 4 PCI-Express slots (so… a Crossfire’s Crossfire? or 3-SLI plus a PhysX card? LOL), X58 chipsets (enough PCI-X lane to accomodate multi-multi-graphic adapters), 6 triple-channel RAM slots, USB 3.0 slots (brand new and way faster than the current USB 2.0), 7 4-pin fan connectors, and ability to remotely control your board on the hardware level (overclocking through BIOS, fan speed, monitor temps, power on-off, etc.) through another computer (network) or (if that’s not cool enough for you)… Bluetooth.

Yup. That pretty much means you can overclock your PC from your smartphone. Insane.
