ASUS Shines with New Marine Cool Motherboard Concept

But why are you talking about it in this thread specifically? Let's stay on topic please.

InnocentCriminal · Feb 26, 2009

Reminds me of a Snickers bar.

A SO-DIMM, or small outline dual in-line memory module, is a type of computer memory built using integrated circuits.

SO-DIMMs are a smaller alternative to a DIMM, being roughly half the size of regular DIMMs. SO-DIMMS are often used in systems which have space restrictions such as notebooks, small footprint PCs (such as those with a Mini-ITX motherboard), high-end upgradable office printers, and networking hardware like routers.

Not only that SO-DIMMs are really fast.. and rock-stable !

i think you're getting this confused with FB-DIMMs or registered ram. SO-DIMM is just laptop ram, pure and simple - and its ALWAYS slower than desktop ram.

edit: lets keep i7 discussions out of here.

Dark Revenger · Feb 26, 2009

I think there is not enough space for SO-DIMMS :confused:

and you point to a heatsink ?

InnocentCriminal · Feb 26, 2009

He's actually pointing out the clearance for the actual memory module to fit in, well... lack of clearance/room/space.

PCpraiser100 · Feb 26, 2009

WOw, that is one awesome looking motherboard.

SO Dimms cant clock any way near as high as regural memory. Some of the reason is cus of cooling limitations. SO dimms cant have heat spreaders. Especially not in this config.

Here is a heat sink of a so-dimm and I think it is going to fit

DanishDevil · Feb 26, 2009

SO-DIMMs can and do have heatspreaders.

SO-DIMMs on that board are shown commonly how they are used on laptops, stacked like this:

So that area is not a clearance issue.

Th1nk · Feb 26, 2009

then you just overload them with electricity and make them out of more reliable materials.

tho.. the board still has a southbridge onboard which slows it down..
the lack of a southbridge on a motherboard is independant.. the less it uses. the better..

DanishDevil · Feb 26, 2009

Removing a southbridge does not make the system faster...

You need to take your theories to another thread man. Seriously.

Th1nk · Feb 26, 2009

whatever.. n'joy

the southbridge still is the slowest part on the motherboard

OnBoard · Feb 26, 2009

edit: wow I was slow, couple replies on the same thing while I was writing this

Yes they can and would still fit.

Would it make that much of a difference being sandwiched there, dunno

These wouldn't fit as there is that one component on the top right corner, but more serious heat spreader:

Th1nk · Feb 26, 2009

what if they control the southbridge with an optional second cpu ?

let me think about it in GIMP

InnocentCriminal · Feb 26, 2009

Th1nk, do as your name says and think before you post dude. You know what a south bridge does right?

please do think

lala..

Sorry if I'm wrong.. correct me if I am

So in the i7 intel is working on splitting the cores of the cpu.. 1 goes to the NB the other to the SB.
Intel is really working on this :cool:

InnocentCriminal · Feb 26, 2009

You're not wrong in your diagram...

.. however this isn't an X58 board. Saying that, the ICH10 is the same as on the P45, but I don't understand your point about the South-bridge.

Th1nk · Feb 26, 2009

easy.. imagine the ICH10R next to the X58
one core to the ICH10R and the other to the X58

can you now think of 4 cores and 8 cores ?

Do I need to explain the 8 cores ?

Or.. you rather have me saying : "You can't touch this" :cool:

jbunch07 · Feb 26, 2009

OMG this is getting ridiculous. why are we talking about i7? the OP has nothing do with i7 or x58!?!

OT:
I like the looks of the board...but I agree that it looks more like a design in progress. Still unsure of the SO-DIMM though...that does puzzle me.

Th1nk · Feb 26, 2009

that board willl never work with a s775

What are you saying? :confused:

Go tell ASUS that then

oh wow, I instantly thought of this

I'm beginning to Th1nk that Th1nk is just posting for posting sake. "Posts: 43 (19.33/day)"
Maybe he works for a X58 manufacturer in Belgium.

Anyway, back on topic... I like the ceramic backplate if it really works as advertised and acts like one large heatsink.

I guess I'm confused about the SO-DIMMS as well. Is it to save space for extra stuff and give better airflow? It couldn't be a height thing because the heatsinks around the CPU are ginormous. Dark Revenger, were you asking WTF that thing is above the southbridge? I'm kinda curious myself.

Anyone else notice the insane amount of capacitors on this thing?
