[SOLVED] Motherboards with interesting features

[nucleon_]

Hello,

I know this is not a very wise way to decide on parts for a computer, but things like this interest me. Do you guys know any motherboar(s) with cool and unusual features? I can't think of any examples, the closest thing I can think of is the Asus ROG motherboards with the factory water cooling. For an idea of the kind of "cool\unusual" I am talking about, I mean stuff like the screen on NZXT's Kraken Z line of coolers. Features that may or may not serve any useful purpose, but are just cool or interesting.

Sorry to clutter up the board with a useless question.

Asrock's X570 Liquid Cooled Motherboard

Totally built for liquid cooling in mind, it was one of the boards I got mesmerized with when choosing my X570 build, but ultimately I didn't go for that.

Also some of the Asus Z690 motherboards have an ejection mechanism for GPUs

This allows you to stop using a screw driver to unlatch a big, clunky GPU from its PCI-E slot - very convenient.
Asus is also pushing for an unlock mechanism as well for M.2 NVMe SSDs so you don't need to use those small screws anymore to mount them. Possible QOL
Albeit, I'm wondering if people break that unlock mechanism by accident - then wouldn't it be impossible to mount M.2 NVMe SSDs, unless that unlock mechanism was screwed.

A long long time ago, a company named ECS made a motherboard that was primarily Intel LGA 775 compatible, but it had a slot and a daugtherboard you could buy to install an AMD Socket 939 CPU. Obviously you can't use both at the same time, though kind of wish someone else expanded on that idea.
