The heatsinks are of very high-quality, the plates are not just stringed onto the heatpipes but are soldered to them. As a result, even the farthest heatsink stays warm, i.e. it really works and not just serves the decorative purpose.

However, what we see is just one part of Quad Cooling system of Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 mainboard. If you look at the bottom of the board PCB you will see the additional system called Crazy Cool.

It includes copper heatsink covering the area beneath the processor socket and chipset North Bridge.

The South Bridge wasn’t forgotten either: there is a small heatsink right beneath it as well.

The mainboard connector panel looks almost ideal. Besides the traditional PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors, LPT, COM, four USB and RJ45 ports, there is also room for six audio jacks, coaxial and optical SPDIF and IEEE1394.
