Technical details

A moderate amount of space has been left open around the CPU socket, which should allow for the installation of large heatsinks but not the larger ones.

The memory slots are located to close to the AGP port thus creating the chance of retention bars 1 and 2 coming into contact with the graphics card.

Eleven 2200Mfd capacitors have been placed around the CPU socket.

The CPU retention bar is made of metal, so there's little chance of it breaking.

Two fan connectors are included, and both are controlled by the hardware monitoring system.

Hardware monitoring is controlled by the chipset.

It's not possible to manually assign IRQs.
