With only 8 days until the official launch of AMD´s AM2 more information is leaking out about the upcoming platform, we take a sneak peek at the offering from Epox, the MF570 SLI which has quite a bit of features to please the enthusiast out there.

wow, one of my perfect motherboard suggestion came alive

no more old ports and firewire

but the NB heatsink is still crap and it's still at a crappy location

where would you place it? it can't be too high up -> too long connection to storage devices, can't be too down either, for same reason.

mount a 0 dba heatpipe one then

Cheers windwithme!
It all looks a little cramped on the right hand (memory) side (no Ninja's allowed) and what's with the chipset fan? At least there may be room to fit a passive cooler for those who want silence or a decent active cooler for overclockers.
The 24 pin connector looks to be in a difficult position too..
It better be cheap if it's going to compete!

Ok I'm sure someone has asked this before, and I see these things in a few [M] Mobo reviews. What exactly are those little animal type thingies made of beads. They're placed on the mobos in the review pictures. Just wondering because the first time I saw em thought I was halucinating.
Oh and More between PCI Express x16 slots ftw. I always thought putting them close together might have an effect of one card baking the other so to speak. Also allows for coolers like the Artic Silencer and such.
