MSI have already post one P45 with loads of heatpipe, but this time they are going further, prepared a water block on the chipset. The design reminds us lots of ASUS boards. All these pics are from HKEPC.

Different from ASUS, MSI using flashion acrylic as part of the water block.

This mobo omited integated HD audio, save some room in the I/O part. It seems high end user don’t like integrated Audio.
