 ASUS, the world’s leading producer of motherboards, has unveiled its new Marine Cool concept motherboard. Eschewing traditional materials, this motherboard boasts a revolutionary technologyâ€"dubbed the Ceramic-Metal Thermal Moduleâ€"that utilizes two different materials (ceramics and metals) to double cooling efficiency and thus allow it to work even in the most demanding of usage environments like high humidity and heat. Sporting a color scheme with gun-metal gray and metallic military-green highlights, together with a heatsink styled after a rugged military armored vehicle (symbolizing sturdiness and reliability), the overall design exudes a feeling of military-grade technology and reliability. Additionally, this motherboard features Onboard UPSâ€"a built-in polymer battery for extra backup power and a server-standard Failover Memory design to help sustain system boot-up. Aerospace-grade Thermal Dissipating Technology  The ASUS Marine Cool motherboard features a unique design that incorporates advanced thermal innovations in the utilization of ceramics and metals. On the front of the motherboard, a metal heatpipe module provides exceptional heat transference and dissipation for core components. Located on the back of the motherboard and set flush with the PCB, the Ceramic Backplate makes full use of a revolutionary micro-porous ceramic technology to provide a larger surface areaâ€"helping to effectively convey heat from the motherboard PCB and deliver highly effective heat dissipation. Together, this revolutionary thermal design is able to improve thermal efficiency by up to 2 times! Onboard UPS for Sustained Power and Protection  The Marine Cool motherboard also features Onboard UPSâ€"a built-in polymer battery that serves as an extra backup power supply that activates when a power failure is detected. This helps to avert damage dealt to onboard components, loss of critical files and data corruption due to inconsistent and fluctuating power caused during unexpected blackouts. Failover Memory  To provide even further support for operation sustainability, the server-standard Failover Memory design on the Marine Cool motherboard utilizes built-in memory to help continue system boot-up in the event of errors to add-on memory. When the PC is switched on, Failover Memory guarantees that the system will boot, regardless of incompatible or faulty memory. |

yeah, hopefully that ceramic junk gets implamented into their high end mobos

-.- That's the Li-Polymer battery
Originally Posted by donthaveacow well i they worked onm the design better heat transfer and better mobo kill saftey and a better look of that bottom thingy it would be a must have |

Not at all. Its like backup memory. The normal memory gets deleted after every boot anyways.

its cheaper to put SO-DIMM momory on a TEST BOARD. This will NOT be the final product

It's LGA 775 and who would put a laptop socket onto a full-atx mobo?

Thats not how I read the article. Memory not as in stored memory space but as in the memory the computer uses to do its task with. It basically reads that if this memory is giving errors as in a bad stick of ram it will still boot or force a boot with help from its onboard memory. Atleast thats how I read it.
