Asus just posted on their facebook page that this board have holes to support AM3 brackets and coolers. Any other boards out there that would have it. With a price premium on these ROG boards buying another AIO along with another decent board would be cost effective.

People whining about what to do about their current cooling gear? They never learn. They are just making a big deal about nothing, this happens every time a new socket is release people just cry and whine about nothing. If the sockets mounts are incompatible the manufacturers of the cooling solutions usually will provide an upgrade kit that contains a new bracket, plate, and/or new parts necessary to make the cooler compatible with the new socket. They charge almost nothing for these kits or provide them for free to the people who need them. So all this whining is just pointless worrying.

I've reinstalled aio liquid cooling Corsair H100 from Asus Sabertooth 990FX rev 2 to Asus Crosshair VI Hero... Jumping from FX 9590 to R7 1800x i see higher temp than expected. (58° full load for FX 9590, same temp for 1800x)

where are you reading the temps from? Ryzen currently has a +20 degree offset with temps, only program that accounts for this so far is ryzen master
