Detailed analysis of the AsRock board. What strikes me are the traces around the mounting holes for the CPU socket. Won't they get damaged by the CPU cooler? There is litteraly no clearance at all, especially the lower right hole. Yet there are "clearance" circles around the holes, I presume.


The AsRock board probably has the best chance to get a real monoblock that covers the chipset, as well. No M.2 SSD or other capacitors that are in the way. If Bitspower or EK cares.


Another interesting thing is what kind of passive aftermarket chipset heatsink could be used. There are mounting holes there, but do they fit any existing "older" chipset heatsinks?
