ASUS has given us an early look at their Marine Cool design concept. Just like concept cars at the major automobile shows, this particular motherboard is meant to introduce new design ideas into a rather "me too" market.  <img src="http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/motherboards/2009/gigap45/asusmcRS.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> ASUS was rather coy about what design and layout aspects will eventually make their way into future motherboard products. However, one major design change we expect to see in upcoming boards is the new back plate that utilizes "micro-porous ceramic" technology to dissipate heat quicker and to provide structural integrity to the motherboard. <img src="http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/motherboards/2009/gigap45/asusmcFLS.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/motherboards/2009/gigap45/asusmcFS.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The new heatpipe system also improves chipset and PWM cooling compared to shipping products, while the layout receives a few tweaks for usability. We are not too wild about the SO-DIMM slots for a performance oriented system, but they do save real estate space and perform well on mainstream systems. The heatsink design and technology behind it (cannot comment further, yet) is certainly an item that we liked.</blockquote>
