Muss man, jawohl.
Ok dann machen wir ne E-Mail Aktion, alle schreiben ne E-Mail an Abit und beklagen sich über die Löcher.
Für die weniger Begabten in Englisch, ihr könnt ja meine Mail verwenden...

Dear Sirs
I would simply like to share a few words concerning the mounting holes around the socket. I have seen many photos of motherboards that do no longer use these holes. Lately I have seen a photo of the new NV7-8X, a very promising mainboard as I think, and was quite shocked seeing no holes around the socket. I expected Abit not to jump the train in this matter.
Being a PC and overclocking enthusiast, these holes have been and will be often vital to me. Lots of air coolers still base their fixation design on these mounting holes, especially heavy ones that could otherwise lead to a damage of the socket. Then, of course, there are many waterblocks that utilize these holes. And very importantly, vapour phase coolers like the famous Prometeia do rely on these holes as well, and people are paying huge amounts of money for that last bit of performance. Not being able to use Abit mainboards that they've come to love so much just BECAUSE of their top notch performance would be no less than catastrophic.
By removing these holes, you will partly lose a group of people who have always chosen Abit as their number one mainboard manufacturer. And without much sense in my opinion, as I have not yet heard of any good reasons for the vanishing of the holes.
Best regards
