The heatsink can be removed to make room for an LN2 CPU duct, and chipset watercooling. Gigabyte is considering to provide another LN2 duct with the EP45. The EP45 Extreme feautres a 12-phase PWM and the memory and chipset have a 2-phase PWM design. The final version will also feature an external clear CMOS button and an onboard power and reset switch.
