After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Motherboard Cooling
The cooling system found on the Foxconn BloodRage is your basic heatpipe cooler covered in fancy red shrouds and logos. It remains to be seen if these coolers are all show or have any real cooling benefit.
Much like on the Foxconn BlackOps the motherboard cooler is a 4 in 1 design. The default setup is passive where it relies on system fans to cool the board components. You can add a fan to the Northbridge cooler and make the system actively cooled. You can also remove the cooler and replace it with either a waterblock or extreme cooling tower for dry ice or LN2.
Speaking of chillers, here we have the included waterblock and chill tank, the logos are metal so watch your fingers, you might get cut.
