Will conroe based boards ever.....

I've heard rumers that the 590 chipset board won't overclock well do to heat issues. But I will say, we havent any proof of that. What abotu the AM2 boards with the 590? Are they mini heaters? That may shed some light on whether the Intel counter part will be the same.

Intel will probably be hotter due to the inclusion of a memory controller. Though I'm not too familiar with the AMD nf5 boards.

Ummm, if I'm thinking correctly, the 590 would have to have a memory controller too right?

I think he means the Intel version of the nVidia chipset.

I doubt it runs hot enough that it hurts overclocking much at all, or actually is really hardly an issue, especially when you look at the massive heatsinks they're putting all over the place on quite a few boards (a lot of the popular ones). If you look at Anandtech's reviews of nForce590 boards it doesn't appear to hurt their overclocking any more than with other chipsets.
 
To clarify, I want to run a Core 2 Duo cpu on an nForce motherboard. I want to do this beacause I would like to also run SLI for a couple 7900GT's.

Yes I know he wants an INtel 590 board. But Intel doesnt have an on-die memory controller like AMD in thier processors. So the memory controller has to be on the 590 SLI chip....correct?
 
If you look at all the cooling systems nowadays, ABIT's Q-Otes, ASUS's passive heatpipe cooling, etc, on the northbridge I don't think there'll be that much of a heat issue....
 
Is there a list of Conroe mobos somewhere?
I am looking for something to compete in the HTPC arena. People are starting to get board issues the MSI now.
