This is the 3rd post, 2nd independent thread on this...in fact they are right on top of each other in the new posts search option.:rolleyes:

i like the layout its very good compared to asus boards and stuff. i also like the fact that they didnt use the yello for the pci/pci x slots, not that i didnt like it but i prefer orange. :)

finnaly they got rid of the cheap northbridge cooler and went copper

That's the Southbridge...

Am I blind or did somebody forget to solder on a connector for the 8 or 4 pin EPS connector?

Which every other company has a tiny passive HS on. I know I will be swapping out that fan. I hope they don't go with an actively cooled HS on the northbridge

Anybody think that the little HS between the PCI-E slots is gonna create some issues?

Pulse Width Modulated, all the Conroe boards seem to have at least one plug.

Some info

Plenty of socket space for phase cooling, although the northbridge is pretty close.

Lanparties > all :toast:

this supports conroe right? lol

Umm as expensive as this board is going to be, i know i would like to have more than 2 sata ports and one ide connection :rolleyes:

It's got 8 sata ports, 6 of them are parallel to the board under the southbridge.

Someone needs to slap you, hard.:rolleyes: Try following the linkage....
8 sata ports.

dangit, pwned by seconds.

I only use 1 DVD drive so one IDE is good enough for me. It looks like you can have 8 hard drive RAID 0, heh nice.
