Mixed reviews on this board however, so proceed with caution. Obviously the built in
watercooling for the NB is what makes this motherboard a pretty sweet deal. The only board
that is comparable is the asus extreme mb which is like $300 or so. You also got
DDR3 support. And your normal x48 board without the liquid cooling aspect of the blackops
board is going to be in the $250 range.
The board is also finicky with ram I hear. Something about it not liking xmp profiled ram.
Additionally, the NB top is made of aluminum so galvanic corrosion is inevitable as well if your water cooling. There is a place you can buy a NB derlin top though. Has G 1/4 threads

Cheap easy way to perhaps start some LN2 Runs as well.
I'm going to give this thing a shot.... for $119...hell I can sell my old mb for that price, lol.
