Witness the future of motherboards at Computex 2019

The Prime Utopia is on display in a custom build at Computex 2019 in Taipei, Taiwan. You can see it in the ASUS showcase at the Nangang Exhibition Center, booth M0410, from 9:30AM ~ 5:30PM on May 28 to May 31, and from 9:30AM ~ 4:00PM on June 1.


As high-end desktop platforms add more CPU cores and PCI Express lanes, the form factor needs to adapt to handle the heat and accommodate additional devices. Traditional layouts put everything on one side of the system, which limits space and cooling for the hardware that needs it the most. GPUs top that list, so the Prime Utopia concept moves them to the back, where a dedicated chamber provides superior cooling with easy access.
Relocating power-hungry graphics cards removes their thermal footprint from the main chamber, reducing the ambient temperature for the CPU and other components. It also prevents the cards from obstructing airflow across the motherboard and its massive M.2 heatsink. Effective SSD cooling is crucial for the future because without it, even today’s NVMe drives can suffer temperature-induced performance throttling under sustained loads.
Throttling is more commonly associated with lowering CPU clocks in response to higher temperatures, but processor performance can also be constrained by VRM cooling. The circuitry feeding current to the CPU has to stay within its optimal thermal range to deliver full power. That becomes increasingly difficult as overclocking pushes more cores to higher frequencies, especially when those cores share silicon with faster PCIe and memory controllers that have their own heat signatures and power requirements.
