Intel's new chipset is hot-headed

The north bridge of the X975 chipset, intended to be the successor to the 38x, seems to be a worthy opponent of nForce cards even in warmth.

The Vr-Zone page provided a preview of the X38 MCH chip, which is unusually covered by a metal cap from Intel. According to motherboard manufacturers, when using two graphics cards, the chip already generates a lot of heat, so the cap allows them to design even more robust ribs for their products. In any case, the metal cap also has a positive side, as this will make it slightly safer to change the rib.
